I get extremely anxious about leaving my cats when I go on trips. I honestly would prefer not to travel much because of this, but all of the rest of my family lives in another state and it's obviously more feasible for me to travel there than for them to all come here. There has been at least...

She is eating normally now. Not sure what the original issue was, but I am so, so, so glad I didn't take her to the vet.

IME it's in a cat's nature to want to get to something they can't have. I would think it's less that he doesn't want you to leave, and more that he's wondering what's on the other side of that door and why he can't go there. I'm not sure how to solve that, but I wouldn't worry so much about him...

She ate most of her dinner too. Phew! She is still acting differently around the food though. When I get it out, she acts very excited, just like she used to. When I put it in her bowl, she carries on "begging" (her version of this is repeatedly rubbing up against me) and occasionally even...

I am thinking about contacting a vet that does house calls for their vaccinations. I'm sure it's ungodly expensive, but I'd pay through the nose to avoid under non-recognition issue. If an issue arises where I feel like a vet visit is unavoidable, I think I'm going to try separating them into...

I tried this repeatedly last time and it did nothing. Tried the "vanilla trick" as well and it also did nothing. It did not pass quickly. It was 3.5 weeks of hell. I had to basically reintroduce them as if they were new cats- I don't think the "staying" cat ever recognized that it was her sister...

Just looking for some advice. This past Christmas, I went out of town and when I came back, one of my cats wasn't eating. She previously had scarfed down every meal as soon as I gave it to her. I'd had her and her sister for about 8 months at that point and they are 2 years old. I freaked out...

I had an incident earlier this year where I took one cat to the vet, and then dealt with non-recognition aggression for literally almost 3 weeks, after this 1 hour vet visit. I had never heard of it and didn't know it could happen. My cats are due for their vaccinations. Honestly, I typically...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't know they had ones that worked with their microchips; I'll definitely look into that. I'd seen the ones with collars before, but I don't want like the idea of them wearing collars. I think they're uncomfortable for the cat and I don't want a safety issue if it...

I originally found this site after dealing with some non-recognition aggression a few months back. Thankfully that issue has fully resolved and the cats are back to acting like normal. But, the whole thing started because I came back from out of town, noticed one wasn't eating at all, and then...

If you haven't already I would ask to tour the facility before dropping your cats off. You should be able to tell if anything looks off. When I first moved to my current location I had a wonderful boarding facility where my cat had his own room. The woman who ran it was clearly a cat lover and I...

I am ecstatic! I went out to lunch. When I came back, the cats were sitting together on the top of the couch, snuggling and grooming! Finally back to being friends.

So glad things have improved! It is hard listening to one being "locked up" crying and trying to get out of the room. My girls are doing pretty well also. I also think that Suki truly doesn't remember and thinks that Cleo is a "new cat" but she is adjusting. I've only heard one hiss in about...

Yes she had blood work done and urine analysis. Everything came up normal, which makes sense as she is eating fine now. I have researched vets in the area that do home visits and will do that for their vaccinations. Hopefully not leaving the house will prevent this. I'm sure it's expensive, but...

My cats are the same way. When I first got them, I bought a couple of different cat beds. They were both obsessed with the one- to the point that they'd sometimes lay on top of each other in it, but refused to touch the other. I almost asked the foster that I got them from if she wanted it for...
