Aislinn and a few others beat me to it, but yes, this sounds like redirected aggression.  I have just gotten over this myself with my 2 kitties and had to do a long, very thorough reintroduction with them both. If you find you have to do this, please separate the aggressor and let the...

Hi Aislinn, Thank you for asking! Things are almost back to normal (whatever that is). :-) Yesterday was the first full day that Chaz and Lucy (aka Miss Thang) were able to hang out together and have full run of the house. Tomorrow will mark a full month since this whole ordeal started. This is...

I've noticed that since we've put Lucy on Prozac to help with her aggression, her urine output has increased. She doesn't go often, but when she does, it's like two cats peed in there instead of one! From what I've read, increased urination is a side effect. The problem is she is now getting...

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my redirected aggression therapy with Chaz and Lucy (aka "Miss Thang"). So far, things are going well and I feel the Prozac is helping with Miss Thang. I am going to try seeing how they interact without a barrier between them (for a very short time)...

Oh my Aislinn, I'm so sorry to hear. I also believe the grief of rehoming a pet is sometimes worse than losing a pet through death, as there's so much guilt and no closure afterwards. Where did they go? Where are they now? Are they loved and happy? Did I make the right decision? So many...

Thanks Hbunny for the info and you are so funny! Yes, our cats can be total asshats at times! LOL! It feels good to say it out loud. :-) I've read that you can put that Rescue Remedy on your hands/cloth and rub the cat down with it as well. That's what I'm planning to do when it gets here (I had...

Thanks so much again Aislinn and Hbunny. I am very fortunate that I work from home, so I have the chance to work with the kitties. We are also doing "site swapping" a couple of times a day to give everyone (mostly Lucy) house time. I've heard that using vanilla extract helps with reintroducing a...

LOL! It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, right?  My vet once told me that cat poop contains a very high amount of protein and dogs just LOVE it as a "snack". When we had our dog, we had to watch him like a hawk, as his favorite thing in the world was to sneak off to the litter box for...

Thank you Aislinn. It has been a rough week and I've been over this a thousand times in my head about what to do. Thank goodness my bite wounds are alright; I went back to the doctor yesterday and there was no infection. I think the fact that I sought treatment so quickly helped prevent me from...

Thanks Aislinn and I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. I am afraid that it might come to this, but only time will tell. 

This is my first post, but I’ve visited this site and the forums many times for answers. Yesterday was a horrible, horrible day and my heart is broken. I apologize if this post is a little long… First, I have 3 cats: 2 males, 1 female, all neutered/spayed with front declaw. They are indoor...
