I would like to first thank everyone for repling..this is a huge concer
to us and Willow is a part of our family.  I'm going to try to answe
everyones questions and offer some more info as well.  I ask tha
anyone who comments about "putting her down" and wants her t
live...Adopt her.  Although the decision I make may cost her, he
life....I must make the right decision for my family and our wel
being.  We will exhaust all options before we decide to put her down.

Willow is 3 years of age black as night with yellow eyes and we've ha
her since she was a kitten.  She is absoulutely beautiful.  She wa
never a lap cat and always had a independant side to her. Very vocal a
well, not afraid to meow...about anything. Over the past two years sh
has developed into this behavior, so it has not happened overnight.
We've had her checked out by the vet and he found her fit as a fiddle
other then the aggresive nature.  She has all of her shots and rabie
as well.  She's spayed, and clawless, thank god.  She's basically 12lb
of pure muscle, very strong.  

Her behavior.....
Willow is the type of cat that doesn't like to be touched, and we'v
let her go at her own pace. Lilly her sister is the complete opposit
and is the lover of the family  Lilly has developed OCD and lick
herself raw, because of Willow's behavior.  Now she has a cone on he
head to help with her OCD.  I'd post pictures if I could. It used to b
that Willow just didn't want to be picked up or held and when you di
pick her up she jumped down immediatly.  Now if I pick her up I have
good chance of getting bit in the face or attacked in some matter.
Willow has grown attached to my 9 year old daughter, and show
affection towards her, yet even she must be careful.  Willow ha
attacked her but she wasn't going for blood, just a warning.  Latel
she has been very nasty and crying at the door, so we let her ou
hoping this would help with her anger.  The first couple of nights sh
got into fights; we had to get involved and bring her in.  She ****e
all over herself...I presume becasue she was scared.  She now ha
learned to stay in our area..and doesn't get into as many fights.  W
thought this might make her a bit more tollerable but now she doesn'
want to come in and she won't even come in to eat.  If we bring her i
she attacks us. We would just leave her outside but she will get int
fights, ans if she gets hurt I have to take care of her, also she ha
been going inside our next door neighbors house..through the cat door
I also learned the reason why she doesn't want to eat is because sh
killing everything in site.  I have dead birds, mice and moles al
over.  I didn't think she would be able to hunt with no claws but I wa
wrong.  When she does come in, she's nasty, and will hiss and growl a
Lilly and us.  She stays in the guest room all by herself until m
daughter gets home..then hangs out with her.  My wife and I are goin
to have more children and we are planning it right now.  We will no
have a beast like this in our house with a child.  Something mus
change drastically.  
I have four options for her:

1) Send her to a farm, she can catch food and she will have littl
human interaction..hopefully we can find one.
2) Put her on medicine but I've had to spend 5 days in the hospital fo
a cat bite to my thumb, so I'm not looking forward to that.  Not onl
was I on IV antibiotics, but morphine as well.  FOr a damn ca
bite..too.  Never knew they were that dangerous, I almost lost m
thumb.
3) No kill shelter
4) put her down

For anyone who who comments about putting her down....I will be happ
to put her on a plane and send her to you.  I don't think the No kil
shelter will take her becasue she has no chance for adoption.
