I've been using the regular Feliway but I'm going to get some of the Feliway Multicat and hopefully it will help as we've never had tension like this before. Between the feral cat still adjusting to being indoors and the alpha cat totally freaking out we do not want to rush anything for sure...

I usually listen to new age, smooth jazz or classical music for studying; I prefer listening to relaxing music myself so I usually have that on in the house and its small so she can definitely hear it. I gave up on the Zylkene entirely, I was giving her a double dose at a time and it didn't...

We've been keeping her in over the past couple of days and it hasn't been easy to say the least. Unless she is in her crate she cries and swats the door to be let out of the room on and off for hours; yesterday she finally got tired and fell asleep in her crate. Gave her the Zylkene which...

The consensus seems to be we are needing to keep Ivy in entirely. She does seem to do better when she is in her crate; we will try and work with her over the weekend and see how she does. I'm hoping this will work so we can get back to the delicate balance prior to all of this. Thank you for...

We may need to rethink the in and out and try keeping her in day and night. I'm putting Zylkene in her food at night and I do have a Feliway diffuser in the room she is staying in. Neither seems to help much and we end up putting her in the crate and she quiets down after that. Thank you, I...

Unfortunately we do not have either a garage or screened in patio at our home, I wish we did. We may have to try keeping her in all day and in the meantime maybe we can find a foster situation for her. Thank you.

Ivy tested negative for FeLv but the vet said she should be tested 2 mos later just in case she was exposed during that time? I'm assuming they did the initial ELISA, but they did not give us too many specifics on that, only that she tested negative and would need to be checked again in 2 mos...

We've been bringing in little Ivy at night and keeping her separated now for close to 2 months and the stress level with the other cats is becoming more intense. I had to stop 3 of the 4 cats cornering and getting into a fight with the alpha cat. Mind you, the alpha cat has been instigating with...

Thank you so much, I appreciate all the support from everyone. We've had many cats over the years but taming a feral is a first for us with this little girl. She too is very sweet and loving; we feel very fortunate that she came to find us.

Thanks for your response and information. I know what you mean about the pecking order. We lost our oldest male a year ago February and I the order in our house definitely changed and not for the better. The 2 most dominant cats seem to be struggling for power. With your experience with the cats...

Thank you again for all of the information. I wish we had a screened in patio for her, it would be ideal. Our house has no patio or garage; old Florida home, built in the 50's. This is our very first experience with working with a feral cat. We had to trap her to be spayed. She was very...

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it very much. If or when we introduce them it will be done very carefully for sure as the cats already seem a bit stressed about the cat being indoors each night.
