Locking a kitten/cat up was a big concern of mine, but I can tell you at the end of the day it's fine. My "kitten" is almost a cat now and I still have to do it. It becomes part of their routine and mostly just sleep it away anyway. Go to your local pet store or shelter and cats spend all day...
It's not as hard as you think to give prozac. My cat was prescribed for aggression and I got tuna flavored stuff from chewy.com at 4mg per half ML , which is a tiny amount of liquid. I give it to my cat daily in the morning and I'll rarely mix it in her food but I can just slip the oral syringe...
I had a long post typed out about how my cat benefitted from an SSRI in all kinds of ways, but all that really needs to be said is this seems like a perfectly ok time for a single dose of xanax or gabapentin to get your cat to the vet. It may seem odd "drugging" a cat but not being able to get...
I wonder If there have been threads similar to my situation that eventually saw resolution? If anyone knows of any link them here I could use the encouragement.
Been a couple days with the gate up while I'm at work. Older cat dosent seem to happy about it and is MUCH more aggressive in my after work sessions. I'm sure it's a big step /slap in the face for her but I have hope it's all part of the process
It was pretty good with the kennel but it wasnt perfect. It was where I thought a face to face wasnt gonna be a fight in 10 seconds but obviously I was wrong I'm a woodworker and cnc operator by trade, I can fabricate up pretty much anything. Let me ask a few questions about that now.. should...
Yah , you got it about right one or two sessions a day totaling about that much time. For only about 2 months now. Would it be a good idea to fashion a sturdy gate to the kittens room and let them interact safely while I'm at work? I always read that it was always important to control the...
What would be your advice on what to do tonight? In a week? In a month? Should I just start putting then together and breaking this up as it happens or just let it happen?
I described it in my post above, It seemed very much like a fight to me with chasing and all but I'm no expert. The previous time it happened the cat was able to chase her to a corner then out of the the living room down a hallway and into the kittens safe room before I was able to catch up and...
Thanks for your reply. The kitten Is 7 months old now and had been spayed since 20 weeks. I'll do my best to describe the fight. The kitten was laying down being submissive and my adult cat began to approach with zero signs of aggression I could see so I let it happen, even with her tail held...
Another question maybe I can get an answer to before I get home from work tonight. Where do I go from here? They had one previous scuffle before I started the medicine when the kitten escaped her room. Do I move back one step? Do I completely cut them off for a while? Should I go home and do my...
