Dang those sneaky flies! I just ordered some, thanks for the tips!

Oh I see, thanks! Oddly enough, I haven’t found a single flea. Really not sure how he got them!

Hi everyone! I feel a little silly asking for this advice. My cat just got a tapeworm treatment shot at the vet today (poor guy). I’m wondering when would be the best time to do the deep clean? I assume that it will still take a couple days to really get rid of them- so do I do a good litter...

Oh thanks so much for your response! My vet prescribed 10 mg to start, I called and asked if we could start at 5mg in case we needed to bump it up. It’s good to hear that 10 mg worked for your cat- everything else I read, or at least a lot of things, said that might be too much for a cat. Is...

Hi all! I took my cat Rocky to his first vet visit (since I adopted him, not ever) about 3 weeks ago. Based on his behavior at the vet and my own concerns I told the doc about, he suggested starting Prozac. The vet proposed it to help him transition into his new life situation and hopefully...

Hi!! I just left my vet with a 30day supply for my guy who the vet said has “feral instincts” that result in aggression to me. It was honestly a bit validating to hear after being reassured that it’s just play aggression! I’m wondering what to expect! Is your cat still on it?

Such a good point about the smell, I hadn’t thought of that. I actually play with him about 4 hours a day right now- on summer break so I have the time! I think one issue is that we are in a one bedroom apartment, and even though we spend a lot of time playing, he’s not realllly running around...

Definitely think it’s time to buy some more, thanks!

Yes it does seem like he just wants to play! I think I need to find the perfect toy that he preferred kicking and biting... thanks for your advice!!

I’ll do that, thanks for the advice!

Thanks for your feedback, I will leave some pillows and things strategically around. I need to find my teacher voice... the summer has me rusty! Thanks again

Yes, I read about not reacting and kind of “taking the bite” to make it totally not fun for them. When I do try to get up to let him cool down, he chases me and attacks. I could definitely do that again- that’s what I started out doing. When I try to distract him with kickers and other toys, he...

Hi again everyone! I’m still figuring out what I think is mostly play aggression with my adopted boy Rocky. He is 3 years old and was fixed in the beginning of June. He was found a stray. He attacks me like this after a play session and feeding. Maybe not played out enough? Really, the...

Thank you for all the resources!! I was told that he was found as a stray and he wasn’t with a foster for very long. My apartment might be the longest he’s been inside in one spot.

Just an update, he already just bit my ankles again. It’s getting difficult to ignore it- ouch!

Hi all! I have posted a few times in the past three weeks for guidance with my 3 year old rescue, Rocky. In the short time I’ve had him, he has had some play aggression and other aggressions I haven’t pinned down yet. Yesterday and today were especially bad attacks and I was really getting...

I’m coming out of it just a bit now and I got my young fella two weeks ago. I feel your pain! Never felt real anxiety, tight chested feeling before. One thing I was so nervous about was how if he was bothering my neighbors! Especially at night. I decided to have as much control of the situation...

Hi!! How is it going now with the play aggression? Having the same issue with my guy and had similar questions!

Thanks for the resources! Believe me, I have been reading blog posts and articles non stop! More aggression today- oddly right when I came out of my room and then during a play session. I did the yelp each time and separated the two of us. I’ve been following the Jackson Galaxy advice to play...

Just a question - if he is not playing during the day with you, does he stay up at night? When I don't play with my guy enough during the day, he suddenly is all about independent play during the night!
