Thank you for all of your comments. I have read and discussed all of them with my wife.

I agree that perhaps, just a straight vet visit would be the best place to start. The vet is relatively familiar with her (having pulled her teeth) and may be able to suggest a kitty Thorazine or something.

Please understand, It's not about money or not considering Tango's feelings. The other cats have getting along with Xander pretty well and he's learning to be very gentle with them. He does get excited sometimes and all the cats would prefer to run than mess with him.

I am a cat lover and always have been. I'm the kid that was always bringing strays home. Now that I own my home, I've had all the stray's in my neighborhood fixed. I want what's best for Tango, but my son must come first.

Thank you all.

Please don't argue on my account. Thank you all for presenting your position and your pros and cons for each. The decisions lie solely with me and my family. I'll let you know what has been decided... when we decide.

Thanks for the pic ogre.. Very cool looking cat. I don't envy you your position but I do believe you are on the right track from another pet lovers point of view.. (I was also the kid who brought the strays home, at one time my mother started calling the authorities if she saw a stray because she didn't want me to find it :D)

I am hoping your vet can find out what is going on, I wish you the best and will include you in my prayers.

God Bless

you may be able to get prozac for the cat, if this turns out to be an anxiety problem. yout cat may also be losing sight or hearing, which causes the craziness. instead of declawing, claw covers may be an option. you just glue them onto the claws and they stay on for several weeks.
 
THis is going to be a topic on controversy I think, however I have a 7 yr old Blue Russian who is the most , unstable, mean,angry, and all around mean cat. Now with that said, she does not attack me, but she will attack the dog,cat and us if she is bothered or annyoned. I also have a daughter, and she and the cat have learned to ignore eachother. The cat maybe able to co-exist in you house with your daughter, with the help of meds. Mine is stressed out because she hates the at, they get along but if he goes to play with her its an all out cat fight.
 
You have a blue.. so do I beth.. Wow.. Mine is chatty but she is the most loving however needy cat.. I love her to death though.. Except when she decides to talk to me when on a phone call which is every time I'm on the phone :D
 
Good luck!
your in my thoughts~julz

I want to add to, that claw covers are a good idea, I forgot they made them for cats to!
I don't rememeber who mentioned it, but its another alternative!
