Thank you so much, the support and help I get here is probably saving me from an ulcer - ha! I honestly don’t know what I would do without this good advice. Just keeping him separated from our sick cat has brought the tension down in the house tremendously. We found a screen door we can use...

Thank you so much. We are trying to get video but with having a little cushion divider to stop swatting and a toy for distraction etc we haven’t managed being able to film. From what I see with playing with this little boy every day is that you’re correct, he plays VERY rough. I have to be...

That is amazing- cats are so smart. We‘ve got a guest bedroom Cooper has taken over and the new cat doesn’t have access to it We can keep her sister out too, if we need to. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I can see the difference in her muscle mass in just this past week. Luckily Vanda has been friendly with her but we are keeping an eye on it. We talk with the vet tomorrow about Quality of Life. We’re trying to make sure she’s getting her favorite foods and she is enjoying that.

I had wondered about the predator thing - I had read feral cats do that. So far it’s been working out ok to take him back to his laundry room when Cooper wants to go on the patio (which is through his new area den/kitchen). Cooper likes to do that just a few times a day and it doesn’t take...

Thank you for replying. We weren’t sure what was happening. Having a toy worked great on him until the last 2 days, when he’s been getting more determined to challenge Cooper. We have a foam cushion we can put between the cats but we are older and that little boy is fast. Vanda is a diva and...

I am having a really hard time trying to introduce a new cat into our household. We already had two fourteen year old calico cats. They are sisters and have lived with us for four years. The situation is complicated because one of our current cats, Miss Cooper, has just been diagnosed with...

Thanks for your info - what we do for love! Ha. We’re still trying to find a carrier she’ll take to. My husband just showed me one that is part of a stroller, I bet that’s what you’re using. I think you’re right about the towel, especially since Vera’s now got a negative association to it...

Hi. Vera is doing much better. For her constipation I found a product called Hydra Care by Purina. It’s for dehydration and it’s like a gravy consistency. It is also made by the same company that makes her cat food, so I think that is why it was the only product she was brave enough to try...

I appreciate your reply. We will definitely try those hand positions. Sadly she has a big phobia about food and anything out of the norm taste or smell-wise will usually stop her from eating. But I did find a gravy she will eat so I’ll try to hide some meds in that. She has had some Gaba...

Sounds like it’s worth a shot - certainly smarter than our first try. Thank you 😊

Thanks for your thoughts on integrating her into our household - I have wondered if it couldn’t work out positively as well. Thank you so much for these great ideas. The videos are so helpful, especially the one about using the syringe for regular food and treats to get them comfortable with...

Thanks Heather. I think this will fit nicely under the bed where she’s been hanging out. I appreciate all these ideas and links. It’s given us a lot of hope we can make things better soon for Vera❣️

Thanks a bunch for this link. Yes I think this one looks super promising. I can’t wait to try it😺

You’re right about the gloves. My gloves are slim, but the plan will be for her not to see them as she’s scared of hands coming toward her already. We’d love to take Vera and have offered before. I’m still hoping an educated outsider like a vet can talk with owner about how stressful this...

OK, that’s what we were wondering. Next one will be bigger. Thanks!

we will have to try trap if we can’t work out the carrier or home visit soon. Please let me know details on cbd and I’ll look into that. Thanks!

That is a super great idea. I have some goat skin rose gloves that would work great. And good call on goggles - haven’t thought of that and you’re right - it was just lucky the first time. 😺

I think some people get in denial. Her son gave her the plant and she just didn’t want to believe it was the cause. It’s very frustrating so that’s why I just moved it outside myself. We’ve started taking pictures of the poo then show her a chart of what healthy poo should look like. That...
