I just came across this one and thought I'd add a little happy ending to it.
Estoo has been with us for a couple of months now, has greatly improved his gear and parses close to 2k and above.. so whatever it was - it definitely turned him around. He's still a little eccentric but I have yet to witness the above mentioned cat creepiness so I guess he took care of that, too.
All in all, we're glad to have him (especially when he's on his meds LOL) and even though I can totally see where the OP was coming from, I believe there's other ways to approach the issue.
But hey.. this is EQ2 flames, right? What was I thinking?
