Hey there- I'm kind of confused as to what you are referring to. I will bring Dottie upstairs to hang out with the door shut, so I can spend time with her and 'reintroduce'her to her old stomping grounds.

OMG! I think we have the same cat! Ha ha! My new kitty is 3 years old, leaves the other 2 kitties alone, and picks on the other kitty. In a way, she's kind of socially retarded (don't mean to offend, but that's the best way to describe it). She doesn't seem totally aggressive, but she will run...

My stress could be a factor, however I can't stand to see my girl Dottie being picked on, and there needs to be boundaries. What videos are you referring to? I'm on this site for help and ideas on how to handle the situation as well as offer my own advice. If you read the threads, Feliway isn't...

That's awesome. I will keep the faith! Thank you!

That was some great advice! Thank you! I realize my writing was all over the place when I reread what I had, so thank you! These little ladies just need some more time. Eyevie is very clingy to me. I think she thinks she is my protector. Her self confidence has gotten much better, but at the...

I brought home a new kitty in mid March from the shelter. She was brought in with 30 other cats and 15 dogs. She had to have her eye removed because it got scratched, became infected, and was impeding her vision. The vet estimated she was about 3- she was pregnant when they spayed her, too :^(...

Oh my gosh!! That's exactly what's going on with our poly! The vet gave me a sedative, and I gave it to her. It knocked her out hard, but she managed to fight me when I got to that claw. I just let it go. Sounds like clipping her nails might be hurting her. We've had her since she was 4-5 weeks...

Oh wow! That's good to know! I wonder if I could borrow it, especially this time of year when my 12th graders are killing me with their senioritis! Ha ha!!

Thanks- I will ask my vet about the muzzle. She said she has one. Nothing seems to work. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to clip nails on difficult cats. No dice. I'm stressing to hard over this and want it to be over. Unfortunately, he nails will always need to be clipped. I do have a...

I'm not sure what it is. It's a pill, though. That's a chore in itself!! Last weekend, I gave her half, and it did nothing. This, after giving her a while one the week before so we could clip her nails ourselves. That was a success, however she fought us when we got to the claw that's causing...

That's good to know. My vet gave me a sedative to chill her out before I take her in on Saturday. I saw the masks on Amazon! They're funny looking, but I think it would be a fight to even try to get that on her, haaa haaa!

How do you feel the sprays are working? The Feliway hasn't helped too much for this issue. Waiting for Safe Space to arrive. Hopefully that will help, too.

Yes, I know. I had her outside for about 5 minutes, and it was he first time on a harness, too! She did great!

Sorry for the cheesy title, but I needed a catchy title for some help I have a Polydactyl who HATES having her nails clipped. I've had her since she was 4 weeks old and made sure I got her used to having her feet touched and nails clipped. It's gotten harder as she's gotten older, and now she's...

I actually took the new kitty outside and closed the sliding glass door. Dottie came to the window and the two kitties looked at each other. It actually went well. I tried it again the next day. I also bought a spray by Jackson Galaxy to help prevent bullying and to chill everyone out. It seems...

Okay, cool. I don't have either a baby gate or glass door, though I appreciate your help!

Hmmmm. Eyevie came from a hoarding situation with 30 other cats. I think it might be hard for me to isolate her for several hours during the day while we are at work, or keeping her locked in a room day and night. Is it possible to reintroduce then after 3 weeks?

I feel like we're past the treat and food stage. Eyevie chased Dottie 3 times tonight. Out of concern, i did jump up and yelled "no", but Eyevie backed off a bit. It's only when she moves, though. Do we start over and separate them again? Things were fine until Eyevie started chasing Dottie...

I adopted a 3 year old cat from the shelter about 3 weeks ago. She had her own little room and my husband and I took turns sleeping with her a few nights. My other 3 kitties knew something was up, and were curious. I followed the cat introduction protocol for about almost two weeks- we let her...

Took Eyevie to the vet today. She wasn't given her feline leukemia vac yet so she's going to have to be 'quarantined' away from the other kitties until she's tested and given her vaccination. She seems to like her own room. I can tell she doesn't seem very stressed in there. When I have firmly...
