Right! As long as I don't get too close too quick:lol:. Last week one day I entered the back room and she was lounging in the tree and, I must have woke her up and boy,...did she give me the biggest HISS to date. My fault, I didn't realize how close I got to the tree while picking up something...

Hello fluffpaws! After I moved the cat-tree into the back bedroom, she began to use it very soon after. That was after she became comfortable with the back room :ohwell: . If you put one in a room that your cat uses often and where there may be a window(s), she may use it right away. If she does...

Hello folks. It has been a couple of weeks since my last update (been battling a bad tooth). Not a lot to update about... Dynah now spends 90% of her time in the cathouse watching the wildlife and sleeping. She CRAVES watching all the critters and birds that are just feet away from her. With...

That is good advice. I will start doing that. Now, Dynah is becoming even more comfortable around the house. She has finally discovered the back porch (unheated) which is full of windows with heavy screens. She has been in that room before but would not stay but a minute. Now, with warm weather...

Yes pearl99...Dynah is SOOO wary and ready to run at my every entrance to her " safe" rooms. She always gives herself an out or place to retreat too. She does however give the opportunity to grab her but this will still be extremely difficult. And, she has only slept in her Cat Cave once and for...

Thanks to all for your insight and tips. I do not think she will go into the trap. She looked at it last night and just walked by. She is too smart for that. I am not going to "starve" her to the point that she must go in the trap to eat. Besides, she mostly eats dry food now and when I give her...

Thanks DeesCats! Yes, trap has 1 door. I will move it into the backroom tonight with some food in it. I have it covered with a camo rain suit. Covers it completely. She has not really seen or, been in contact with the trap yet. So maybe curiosity will help.

Hello folks! Just another Dynah update for you as it has been almost 2 weeks since my failed attempt to get this amazing little Cat in the carrier to bring to the vets. She did not go back in her Cat-Cave for 2 days after the attempt, and since then she has spent little time in it. Instead, she...

Thanks guys. Actually, this makes me less stressed. Next time I will be more assertive....and have my coffee before I attempt it again!!! Thanks for your support as always :grouphug:

Well, it did not work out. Dynah was on full alert inside catcave. I tried to sqeeze the opening shut but her head was already part way out and she jumped out and ran. Dang she is strong and fast. I swear she knew something was up yesterday! I let the vet know and I will let things cool down...

Thank you Kwik! Posts like this go a very long way to keeping one sane :crazy: It will work out. The funny thing is this morning, for the first time in a while, Dynah slept in the Cat-house after her nightly roaming and playing :( NOT in her Cat-Cave in her bedroom. So I think I will try and...

Forgot about that IJ! Good idea. Thanks for the reminder 👍

Thanks pearl99! Today I put a small cat-grass container in the carrier (Dynah rarely eats treats). I have to keep the carrier in the other room because it is just too large for her room. But she LOVES cat-grass and went in the carrier part ways to get at it. The carrier has been in that room...

Thanks for the tips TT. I did call the vet yesterday to remind them of my situation. They are willing to work with me. If I cannot get Dynah to them early enough, they will not charge me for an overnight stay. That is a very nice offer that they have in place. I thought about trying to "pick...

Avery, thank you for your post. Great advice! I did not think about closing the bedroom door after setting the carrier down. I will now :) and will go over in my head the procedure. I have been doing that all week :crazy: I love how she jumps and throws those balls. I could watch these vids...
