Honestly, leaving for the vet and then coming back to the same space probably really helped her realize that this is a place that might be permanent. She still won't trust it yet, but doing a scary thing and then having something familiar to return to can make a mean a lot. My Lexi had different...
@FeebysOwner I only mean that I'm familiar with most of the common suggestions as well as some tricks of my own, and they're a no go for this particular cat. She is very picky about texture and she chews her food pretty thoroughly, so hiding a pill in any kind of solid treat doesn't work. I can...
My cat Lexi is a beast to pill, but luckily we (her and I, that is) worked out a system that was working for us. If I crushed her fluoxetine, mixed it with Fortiflora to mask the taste, and mixed it into a little food, she would just eat it!
That worked for several months, but she's recently...
Usually as is, for me. Hydrating is better for them, but mine won't eat them once that way. And yeah, if you're going to do dry, you might need to break them into pieces.
I have tried substituting fingers. He'll sometimes lick them a couple times and then return to the face. I do groom him back. Assuming you mean petting him? A brush is catnip to my older girl, she'd barge in. I do have an unopened toothbrush, so I could try that!
>_< I didn't even think of...
You could also try letting them into just a few rooms at a time, if the home allows it. Expand from just the bathroom, but not the whole home yet. New spaces can be overwhelming, especially for a cat who's already a little nervous, so going a little at a time can help them adjust. But not all...
Hello everyone, long time no post! This is Bodhi. I've had him and his sister since they were three months old. Bodhi is lovely and friendly and playful and that's all well and good. He'll be two in January!
The problem (so to speak) is that he is obsessed with licking faces. This is not a new...
Woke up this morning. Cat had knocked over two bottles of OTC supplements at sometime during the night. Vitamin D3 1000IU and melatonin 1mg. I have literally no idea if she actually got into any of them. I picked up the pills and didn't see any kind of teeth marks (she's a cat who chews her...
Emily was Sweet Emily, Emilina, or Em-cat (MCAT, geddit?).
Tiger was usually just Tiger, but occasionally Miss 'Ger.
Jackie is Jacks or Jack-cat.
Julie is Lady Juliet of Everhope (she's "ever hopeful" that we'll let her outside unsupervised, never gonna happen) or the Princess.
Lexi is...
