Confused and clingy
12-year-old female spayed cat By Edward de Beukelaer, UK
Stramonium is not always a wild and angry patient, they are often more lost, in a world with rules they have made up themselves.
Their issue is that these rules do not align with reality, at all. To palliate for this contrast between their ‘rules’ and reality, they wish for a point of stability or referral (often the owner). Again, this point of stability must ‘obey’ to their rules: it needs to be perfect, almost like perfect fusional love, which again is unattainable because it causes its own issues (jealousy, etc).
Stramonium can resemble Pulsatilla, but Pulsatilla wants everybody to love him/her.
Loss of appetite for a few months. Became confused at night: she was asking to come in the room with the door open, she used to yowl till the owner comes and fetched her at the open door. She had become clingier to her owner. She was sleeping more. She was a bit clumsy walking and tripped over a few times. She had lost some weight. No previous history of illness.
The clinical exam was unremarkable. The owner declined further investigations.
Stramonium 200C for 3 days
1 month later feed-back: ‘’I usually don’t go for these natural products, but it did the trick. She was back to her normal self in 2 days.’’
