Okay, so not too different then actually! We had a similar trajectory, we had a pretty successful introduction period, but it declined about a year after. Few things I would comment on, it sounds like your Gabapentin dose is either too high or too frequent. We are actually only giving her a...

We absolutely have done that, and she's super confident but only in the kitchen, she will venture into the living area but only sleeps in a specific bed high up on the wall. She is very loving towards us. We have played with them together and they can eat together too, but Skampi won't tolerate...

Hi Katiekat, Thank you for asking, are you in a similar situation? The answer is unfortunately not much, but there has been progression. Skampi (the aggressor) had been diagnosed this year with multiple conditions, historical pancreatitis, chronic skin allergies (dust mites and mould), asthma...

It's almost like you read my mind. I have just been into the vets and they prescribed Gabapentin. I already have a couple of bottles of it as my other cat uses it. So hopefully that will help. We already have bowls that attach to the cage, and he has a secure litter box so no dramas there. He's...

Hi LTS3, the cage is the biggest I could find (borrowed from a friend), it's an XXL dog crate, it's a actually bigger than the one in that link. He has plenty of space to move about. He just wants to be out. When he goes for his wombles he usually sits at the (locked) catflap screaming at us. So...

Hi there, thank you for your kind reply... truly, it's just nice to talk about it. Yes, the Surgeon who performed the surgery was from a Dedicated Orthopaedic Referral Service who came to my Vets Practice to perform the surgery. My vet is now dealing with the aftercare and I do need to speak...

Hi guys, this post is a cry for help really. I've got a 5 year old cat who was hit by a car 9 weeks ago. He had screws to pin his pelvis and an external fixator on his leg. Long story cut short, the leg is healing well, but the screws have slightly loosened in his pelvis. It's been a long road...

I can't believe that didn't occur to me, of course you are right! He's rickety at best! I think that's a great idea, thank you, I'm going to lay some kitchen roll down, the pee pads are a bit slidey as well and he still wants to "dig" and the pee pads just end up flinging off.. thank you so much...

Hi guys! My poor little lad has had surgery to pin his pelvis and his put his leg in an external fixator after an RTA. He's 5 days post-surgery and doing very well, all things considered. He is not very mobile but manages to wobble over to his food and he can just about squat for his toileting...

Hi guys! Sorry for resurrecting an old post, I know it's bad form, but this is one of the only threads I can find about JG's Solutions! Are you guys based in the US? I can't find any stockists at all in the UK!

Penny, I echo the above! I feel like I'm living your life lol. I have a 2 year old Tortie (anyone who doesn't think Tortitude exists needs to meet mine) and she's a total cow to my 1 year old black girl. Won't let her settle, constantly terrorises her, and has now started chasing her back out...

That's amazing advice.. I think I need to try that. We have noticed that our 2 year old has really ramped up the bullying recently, but the 1 year old won't stand up for herself so it's a self perpetuating cycle. I have just bought a screen to seperate the kitchen (with cat flap) from the rest...

That reply was actually very relieving, and confirm what I hoped, that time would be the healer... it's my own guilt eating me at the moment, Lucky tends to hightail it out the cat flap at the first sign of "lock on" and I feel bad because it's miserable outside. I know she takes refuge in our...

Hi ArtNJ! Thank you for your reply, I too am unsure. Lucky came to me as a bit of an accident, I was fostering a litter of feral farm kittens and she escaped getting a leg injury in the process, her litter were due to go to Cats Protection so I decided to keep her and pay for her treatment (out...

Hi all. I've come to the end of my tether with my two female cats (both spayed). I have had Skampi for 2 years from kitten, and Lucky came along last year as a feral kitten I took in and tamed. She's a year old now, and absolutely lovely. Skampi has never taken to Lucky (she's great with my...

That was such a great answer, thank you. I realised I still have some enzyme cleaner in the back of the cupboard from when two of mine were widdly kittens. I will grab some vinegar from the shop tonight. You are a star. Thank you xx

Thank you for replying! Yes to the first, his box has been cleaned with bleach and out in the shed now. I haven't used any odour eliminators, but I think I will now. He come this evening so I locked the cat flap for a while to feed him and see how he is, he was flip flopping between being very...

Hi all. I really need some advice. I've done something awful. Bit of history, I have 2 females and 1 male cat. All neutered. My male cat is soppy as hell, gets on with everyone, usually the peace keep in my house. Two females are okay but not great with 'imposters'. So, last month I brought...

Hi guys, bit late now I know, but I use a website (when COVID allows) called trustedhousesitters.com. I'm in the UK but I believe it's also over in the states? I've found it a real lifesaver when I'm planning trips away.

Okay, that's reassuring. I've not experienced it that intense before, but I'm used to soppy boys and these are my first girls. The Tortie is fairly fiesty, even with us. Thank you for getting back to me so quick :)
