Thanks for the info!
I also went in a few minutes ago with my laser, which I don't think they've ever experienced before. Foosey paired with it tentatively, and Willow tracked it with her eyes. The laser allows me to interact from across the room, so I'm not in her personal space.

I have inherited a 7 year old cat with major fear and aggression issues. She was attached to her owner, a dear friend, who recently passed away, and literally no one else. Family could not take her because she attacks and draws blood. She came with her sister, who is a very affectionate 2 year...
I had to discontinue for now using the Dallas syrup, because you can't give it on an empty stomach, and so many days Kimmie was unable to eat. I've got her on a combination of meds i put together from drugs that have kinda worked on their own but work well together, and we're going on six weeks...

I know this cat isn't stray/feral, but I thought y'all might be able to help me with him...
Sharkey is 8 years old, declawed, male, medium hair, was an only cat until dumped at a shelter in North Carolina. I am in a rescue group that was networking him, and fell in love. Labor Day weekend we...
