Hi! No, he's not on gabapentin anymore. It's honestly just like... insanely expensive. I will definitely bring this list to the vet. Thank you!! I couldn't quite tell how much the gaba was helping. He was hard to pill and could tell when it was in his food. I'm currently giving him some calming...

He’s gotten better at moving with it on. He adores my fiancé and will literally run after her wherever she goes, even with the harness. Did you get a thunder shirt for your cat? The harness I have is like a little vest that clips on his back.

kind of both of them, but Liam has been playing with one of my other cats for the last hour or so. This usually happens when my fiancé goes to bed and takes Mr Jenkins with her, leaving all the other cats on dad watch while I stay up late. Liam also ate dinner so that was good. He’s much more...

Oh and also, Mr Jenkins has been with us for about ten months. We got him right when we moved into a larger apartment. We got Liam about a year and a half ago. He mixed in with our other cats without much trouble. Our old man cat picks on him but not in the way Mr Jenkins does. Mr Jenkins gets...

Mr Jenkins usually eats in the bedroom with the door closed, which is why i remove his harness. Today I bought Liam a bowl similar to one of our other cats as he's expresses interest in it before. I'm hoping it was just a one off thing.

Maybe I'm overly worried, but I wanted to hear what the crowd thinks. I was surprised at feeding time today that one of my cats, Liam, didn't come running into the kitchen. He usually waits patiently for me to take his food out and put it in his bowl, which is right there. He's not a big eater...

As a former preschool teacher, I would like to just add that all this chaos is still better than having human kids haha. Sorry mom.

And like magic, harness is on, and he's sitting in the bedroom with Liam, who is often scared of him but isn't running this time. Renji is still under the bed but Renji is also the butthead that started this whole thing so :dizzycat:

We give him gabapentin in his food, but I think he's started to figure out when it's there. Today he didn't finish his meal so I'm not sure he got the dose. Gaba is also pretty expensive so I'd like to talk to my vet about other options, honestly. We have a couple of those Feliway plug-ins...

So, um... small update. I allowed Mr. Jenkins to keep the harness off after meal time, and things seemed okay... until my pissy cat decided to hiss at him and a nasty cat fight ensued. This has been the biggest problem with Mr. Jenkins... he doesn't come to play. He will kick some tail if he's...

Well, one of my cats definitely was, so it's an important distinction. I like to say that he looks like a throw pillow and is about half as smart XD

I don't doubt it. This cat wasn't born yesterday, haha. Clicker training might work. He does like his treats, which I hand out sparingly. I worry a cat wheel would just become a place for my fatty-fat-fat cats to just sleep. Also, I'm not sure it would take his attention off Rigatoni, the cat he...

He never did the flop, which all of my other cats have done in the harness. When we were on the walk, he meowed pretty much the whole time, but I think it was because he didn't like the bounce of my walk. He quieted down when we sat down in a park and I unzipped the hatch enough for him to poke...

The other day, I took Mr. Jenkins on a walk in my cat-backpack for the first time. Whenever I bring a cat on a walk, even in the backpack, I put him into a harness with a leash just in case something happens. This was the first time I brought this particular cat on a walk as he is one of my...

Yeah I’m trying not to be swayed by my mom. She also thinks we have too many cats So I think that is part of her narrative of getting rid of one. Ugh. The fights are not like the play fights that happen with the other guys. There is hissing and screaming, scrambling, fear from Riggy. I agree Mr...

Hi! Thanks again for your response. I personally feel that time is all it'll take, even if it goes for months, but my partner and my mom have become naysayers and "doubt" that Mr. Jenkins should remain with us. Which upsets me. Anyway, Mr. Jenkins is 5 and Rigatoni is 7. As far as their...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this morning, Mr Jenkins jumped on Rigatoni. They had crawled under another piece of furniture and it was tough pulling them out. My mom is visiting and is really unsure if we should keep Mr. Jenkins at all. She doesn't think it's fair to the other cats. This suggestion...

First sentence was that Rigatoni integrated well with the others. He loves to run he jump and play and nap with two in particular. When they first came home, at first they both lived in crates in the bedroom. Then rigatoni was eventually moved out of the bedroom in thr crate, and then just out...

Oh good, because I worried it was some kind of dominance thing. Honestly just today, Mr J has been visiting the other cats but not lingering too long. I always try to pull him out from thr sofa, trust me😂🤪

Hi! Recently, I adopted two new cats. One of them, Rigatoni, is seven and has integrated with my resident cats very well. He plays with them and will sleep contentedly in their presence. The other new cat, Mr. Jenkins, is a head-scratcher for me. When he first came home, our vet pointed out...
