Thoughts on Feliway?

I would love him to sleep with me if he slept. I have sleep issues, waking every two hours. With him, I may lose a night's sleep between my waking and his. Yes, I have the harness from the flight but he is a Caribbean cat and it's pretty cold up here. I feel I need to wait. He has a double...

I brought my 13.5 year young Caribbean cat, Alfred to the US, a week ago. He is part Siamese and a talker. He is used to strangers caring for him as I have traveled back and forth for years, using friends/pet sitters. He is used to dogs and was raised with his siblings and one other cat. They...

Thanks for asking. Alfred, the Bonaire Caribbean Cat is happy and calm. I think so..he tends to stay in his little room but ventures out for short excursions to the rest of the house. He postures a bit with the established cat, rescue boy, Gus. Gus is curious for sure. Confy, Alfred's "sister"...

Day 3 and all is well. Alfred is using the box consistently. He eats and drinks well. Alfred is mostly sleeping on a cozy soft comforter. His pal, Confy the dog, comes and goes. They seem to greet each other but I am not seeing any signs of huge excitement or recognition. Confy came to the US in...

Alfred has been with me since he was born, 2004. He lived in Bonaire until this AM. He came to the US as I am selling my home. My Cape Cod home has a 3/4 year old fixed New Bedford rescue, who has been in my home since 2017. Also my 13+ year old Bonaire rescue who was raised with Alfred. She...

Wow, what a "ride"....9 AM and 12 PM, mini doses of kitty valium. Alfred was calm and chill, sleeping on my bed. He went out to pee in the yard, 11 AM. 1 PM, harness on and a little fight. 1:15, into the carrier and off to the airport. Some moaning, but subdued. Plane ride from Bonaire to Newark...

PS I had a meltdown last night. My Global Entry/Pre TSA expired a few days ago. STUPID me. Does TSA have special allowances when going through with pets?

thanks so much...great tips...positive energy and focus..

Hi All Today is travel day. My awesome boyfriend is with me to assist. I will give him a tiny dose of kitty valium soon. We fly at 2:30 PM. We arrive at the COLD airport in Boston, 11 and then on to Cape Cod by 1. It's a long day. I have a pee pad to line his soft carrier. He had a teaspoon of...

He gets about a cup of IAMs dry food (spread out into 3 meals) and a small can of wet food (Sheba). The wet is split into two meals. He was a big boy to begin with. I have had him a year and he has had two regular vet visits. He snores at times which I feel is related to his weight. I'd say he...

Thanks all, I definitely want my Alfred with me. But his life in the Caribbean is so perfect and it's all he's ever known. Awell, wish me luck. I brought my Caribbean doggie here and it worked out well, so can pray/manifest the same for my Alfred. The recs and links are immensely helpful.

P.S. I have had cats since 2004 and NONE have ever been fat in fact all, really lean. It's not me!

We adopted a big street cat a year ago. He is super fat. He eats my dog's food when I am not looking. He demands food all day, all the time. I give him a small can of wet divided into two meals and a few handfuls of dry, each day. In winter, he gets less exercise but warmer days, he runs around...

what do you do about food? If I put out a big bowl, my overweight would eat it all...at ONCE
