Thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, things are about the same, maybe a little worse. I will answer last time’s questions first... " I don’t exactly remember, probably since it went smoothly- certainly nothing like when Poppy met Rudy and Frankie. I don’t remember any issues other than the...

I can’t seem to figure out how to duplicate the previous message and answer like you did, so I will just answer your questions in order. The introduction of the “babies”, Paulina and Georgia, was around 2 months (time flows oddly in this time of covid). I don’t exactly remember, probably since...

It has been a very long time since I’ve updated this thread, but I’m reaching out for help again, unfortunately. Sadly, Rudy was diagnosed with dry FIP and passed away 2/2/2020. Things had gotten much better between her and Poppy, perhaps because she was ill, and they sensed it long before...

Just saw your post and wanted to respond. The previous posts mention the FB group FIP Warriors. This is probably your best bet for help and information. My Rudy was diagnosed with dry FIP in late January, 2020, and passed away 2/2/20. I had reached out to the aforementioned FB group, but it...

Just stumbled upon this thread and wondered if you had any luck after you last posted. I am dealing with a similar situation and am feeling much like you, wondering if this is just something I will have to deal with forever. I hope you’ve discovered something that has helped Badger and that...

A quick update- Things seem to be settling somewhat. Poppy is definitely much more confident exploring the house and dealing with the other cats. Her record is now 3 continuous hours out and about. How long she roams still depends on how riled up she and the others get / if someone seems a...

Just an update on the past ten days ... Poppy comes out to explore between 5-60+ minutes a day, depending on her. She still likes to chill on her closet perch but has been exploring the adjacent master bedroom as well. She likes to snoop under the bed, under the dressers, etc. The other girls...

I will try to answer your questions first... Even with distractions, whenever someone gets within inches/ face-to-face, there is usually a quick hiss from Rudy or Poppy or both. Usually they hiss once (if at all), I intervene/keep them separated/tell them to be nice, then they plop down to...

Glad you’re back. I didn’t post any updates while you were gone as it would have been very repetitive. I think things are going ok, albeit still very slowly. Poppy is still in her room 95% of the day. She seems content in there but still wants to get out into the house. We have been doing...

Just wanted to wish you safe travels, Calicosrspecial, and post a quick update. The girls are still visiting via the slightly open door. Poppy still wants to roam in the worst way. She seems far less threatened by either of the other girls. Last night, she and Rudy did their usual...

No, there has been no further marking that I am aware of. In reference to the last post regarding Thursday PM, I meant that Poppy wanted to escape from her room, not from anyone else. She really really really wants to go explore the house again. There is actually already scent swapping...

No, there has never been a “fur-flying fight”, at least that I witnessed. There was the usual chasing/ pouncing that Rudy and Frankie do on occasion, but Poppy’s growling and hissing seemed to intensify the return of same from Rudy. Both seemed to be tolerating the other fairly well, again...

Just wanted to post a summary of the week so far...not much has changed, really, and I guess that is a victory in itself. Tuesday and Wednesday the cats had only a little interaction; the other cats weren’t terribly interested in visiting. Both days, Rudy did sit behind the open door (2-3”...

Thanks for the continued help and encouragement. I will try to answer your questions before I head to work. 1) I hope I’m not hexing myself, but no, there have been no additional urine issues out of the boxes that I have seen or noticed. That said, they have not been in each other’s territory...

Just a quick update: It’s been very difficult to keep Poppy happy with the door closed when I’m home. She taps and taps at the door, so the best compromise seems to be that I sit in her room with her with the door cracked about two inches (she can’t get out, and no one else can in) and we see...
