Just got back from vets with a 48 hour supply of Onsior to see if that makes a difference. If not, its back in for blood tests, x-rays, etc.... :( Keeping fingers crossed!

Thanks for your response! Mickey is a young cat, just turned 2 in June, so am very mystified...and very worried. :( Still waiting to hear back from vet.

Hello! After getting our two quarreling felines finally able to cohabitate, I finally felt like things were smooth sailing until about a week ago. My little Mickey started being more lethargic, not racing around, and developed a strange habit of routinely sitting up on his haunches for a...

Hello! Yes, please don't be impatient with the prozac. My guy is still on it, about one year later, but we plan on weaning him off soon! Did the vet put them on a starting dose where there is room to increase over time if necessary? My guy is at maximum, with .1 ml in the morning and .05 ml...

We have been using fluoxetine (Prozac) on our cat for 6 months now to help get he and our resident cat to be able to live under the same roof, and it is working!! He only would do pills briefly, so we now use the compounded cream form that we simply apply to the skin area of his ear flap. We...

Hi Kashurr! First, I am very impressed by your stick-to-it-ive-ness! I can relate to how you are feeling, as I have had a similar path with my two boys, Pesto and Mickey. It will be a year on February 6th since we added Mickey to our household, and I am happy to say, finally, that I think it...

I don't know if someone has already suggested this, but have you tried talking to a vet about possibly using drug therapy? We have gotten to a place where we finally have both cats loose in the house 24/7 with fewer and fewer altercations for the most part. Any changes in the house will stir...

My vet just prescribed Prozac for our guy in a transdermal cream. I just dispense the correct amount and apply to the inside of the ear. Any compounding pharmacy can do this

Thanks for your responses. I have answered your additional thoughts in bold after each statement. I think the takeaway for us is to spend more time with each cat (separately) engaged in play time. I'll keep you posted! :)

Thank you for your response! I will try to answer all line by line the best I can: 1. As this has been an evolving and continuing issue since we brought Mickey home, I would say it's a bit of a mixed bag as to how Pesto acts when being chased. Originally, he would just take off and hide under...

Hello and good morning all, We are now five months in to the introduction of Mickey to Pesto, our resident cat, and it has been a roller-coaster ride. I am looking for any kind of advice or encouragement because I am not really sure where we are now! :) After 2 1/2 months of slow intro, we...

Thanks! I will check these out as well. :)

Thanks for your responses! I will go check this holster out! The weather is getting so nice, I am sure he would love to go chase a couple bugs around. :)

Hi Margret, and thanks for your response! We adopted Mickey in early February, and while we were working on integrating the two cats, I started harness training him in late February. We only got to the point of him having it completely on him and I had just started trying to get him used to the...

Good afternoon all, I am trying to find a good harness for our kitty Mickey. When we first adopted him, I had started harness training him while waiting for he and our resident cat to become integrated. He seemed to enjoy the training and it became part of our activities in addition to play...
