Also, my vet's recommendation was that I find some place where she could live outside, but she didn't mean in a pen. She wouldn't do well in a community of cats outdoors whether in a pen or not because other cats make her very nervous.

Thank you for the advice. I have tried to segregate her as much as possible in her own room, but she goes nuts. She is a hyperactive cat who becomes a nervous wreck without stimulation. It's been more than 16 months and all the cats are just so stressed out, including her. So am I. I have...

I am also concerned about finding the right person for her because she is such a challenge. It's one of the reasons that I would like to speak with prospective new guardians myself. No one else will be able to give a comprehensive history and description of her. The longer I have her, though...

FeebysOwner, thank you so much for the advice.

Is there anyone who has ideas on rehoming a cat? I must rehome a female cat that I took in and I don't have a lot of social contacts, so I don't have people I can ask. I can take her to the local no-kill shelter. I spoke with them and they would take her, but they warned me that she could be...

I understand you feeling bad about having to rehome some of your cats. I can't even imagine taking care of ten, and I can imagine that they are not happy in a home with that many. I have four and am procrastinating rehoming one that has to go. I've told my story here before, and I'm still...

Thank you for sharing your experience with L-Lysine and the recommendation for DMG. I will look into that.

Thank you for sharing more details. That's very helpful. I hope your cat continues to get better. My kitty sneezed a few small ones early this morning. I've been in the same room with her most of the day (work-from-home at my computer and she hangs out with me most of the time by choice). I...

I think we may have read different research. From what I have been reading, even cats with healthy kidneys need arginine to remove the ammonia. I think at least for now, I will steer away from the Viralys (L-Lysine). I guess I'm not as concerned about at least questioning a vet's advice...

Thank you for your reply. If we have to go back, I definitely want someone else. I switched to this office because at our old office, there was one vet in three who was very good and thorough. When my cat a bad ear infection (wasn't sure yet, but she had symptoms), the vet I got that day made...

Thank you for your reply. There is a vet there - the first one we saw there - that I really liked and trust. I have asked for her, but it seems impossible to get her anymore. Either she's not there the day I call (and it's a same-day appointment) or she's in surgery that day - and yesterday...

Thank you for your reply. I would be willing to pay for the test to get better answers about what is happening. What was done for her once you got the results of the PCR test? Was there a treatment for what she had? Is she well now?

My three-year-old cat suddenly started sneezing a lot last night about this time. Prior to that, there was nothing like this at all. She sneezed so much overnight that she kept me up most of the night since she sleeps with me. She has no other symptoms of illness. I was concerned that she...

Thank you, Furballsmom. I will give the link a look. I have noticed on Nextdoor that sometimes there are people interested when someone posts about looking for a home for pets. I'll think about that, too. Thanks again!

I have had to use a spray bottle before, too. Sometimes nothing else gets through the incorrigible behavior. I'm so glad something is helping your situation. Which cat did you use it on? Obi or the new cat? (I'm not sure if your new cat behaves badly and that's why Obi is angry). I've been...
