I wanted to say thanks for the replies. The other vet at my clinic is being very helpful and encouraging. I brought my baby home (Elizabethn collar, Seton drains and all) tonight. He seems to be feeling much better and was eating well. We will see about geting the others tested just so we...

My vet wants to kill one of my cats. A feral cat got in and fought with one of my cats Thursday night. Now he is testeing positive for FIV..I can't believe the virus would show up in 3 days. Therefore I think he has had it awhile. I have 12 other cats and everyone has been in the same house...

Oh, Patsy, I am so sorry to hear about Tiger. I lost a 21 year this past March. No matter how old or sick a cat is, it's always hard. My heart goes out to you. Anne

OK, that was informative. Actually, I pretty much feel the same way and would be willing to "do for my babies" whatever it takes. As for giving one away , that's not an option. Even my husband said "he chose us" when I suggested the possibility of finding a home for the declawed Persian that...

I will look into the pants but I am not sure how well it would work. I know it keeps him from spraying (provided they stay on). What about when he needs to poop? Anne

Well, I am always open to new ideas. I can try the pants but I am not sure how Dax will react. Of course, if that works I may 3-4 of the boys wearing them : I will be meeting with my vet next week and will discuss all the options with him. I will keep everyone posted on the progress of the...

Actually, I have put a hold on the surgery til I can get more info. Yes, he is neutered (all 12 of them are fixed, I am pretty rabid on that subject). I will ask about the Elavil. I know that since I started him back on the Valium, he doesn't seem to spray as often. He also seems to have a...

Actually, Valium seems to be helping some. He is a bit sleepier than usual, though. I may postpone the surgery if I feel something else will help. I really HATE to put him through this. Unfortunately, I can't shadow him 24/7 so I have to find a solution that works when I am not around...

P.S. I will look into the Stud Pants. Thanks

Actually, I should own stock in the Feliway company! But I never thought of using it thiat way. I have been regularly trying to spray all ove the house. I have had some success but this is an interesting alternative I will have to try. Thanks, Anne

Actually, our house is 2 stories and we have about 2500 square available for the cats (a couple of rooms are closed to them). When I finish redecorating there will be more vertical space (I have been studying the Cat's House). I hope this will help. I realize that cats need a certain amount...

Well, that info about the vinegar is interesting. Unfortunately, I live in Virginia Beach, VA near a very busy road. I don't have any way to fence them in. We also have an excess of wildlife (raccoons, possums, birds, squirrels) visiting regularly (thanks to the destruction of their natural...

I read with great interest the story about 22ft of cat spray. I too have a probelm. I have 12 cats (10 of them boys) All are fixed, of course. One in particular sprays like mad. I have had some success with Feliway and Valium. I like Simple Solution for cats for cleaning and deoderizing...

I was asked by a member to post this. "Please tell the list for me. Today, at 3:15 p.m. Emily passed quietly into the Summerlands. We noticed that she was struggling, so went to school and brought Lisa home. Em died the way she's done everything else in her life...

Please tell the list for me. Today, at 3:15 p.m. Emily passed quietly into the Summerlands. We noticed that she was struggling, so went to school and brought Lisa home. Em died the way she's done everything else in her life - her own way, in her 'mommy's' arms. She left the three of us and...
