Just ignore the idiot trolls, Pat. I just added another entry to my
killfile. That's a good long list added just this week.

Purrs that the errant kitty will return soon.

Where do you get off suggesting that I am a "troll?"

You allow your cat to roam outside where he is not
safe then repeatedly come in here and ask for "purrs"
when he runs away.

I offered you a simple and effective solution
to your problems since you cant seem to do it yourself.
Stop worrying about "reclaiming the group" and take care
of Abelard.

Tweed, it's best to ignore the trolls - any response gives them a warped
thrill. I know, I can forget to ignore them too, so this is also a reminder
to self ;-)

Kill-files are a wonderful thing - mine has grown recently!

I have no idea.  Just that a cat owner on another group I participate in
happened to mention that it was the only thing that helped with a very
irritable cat they used to own.  I believe her name was Sadie Monster.  We
weren't discussing cats so much as herbal remedies as the time.

One of those things where if you try to do a web search you will get
altogether too much information and too many sales pitches.

Anyone else here with experience or information on Rescue Remedy?

It would be hard to use here as the cats have so many water source options.
Including unfortunately the gutters and the neighbors pools, birdbaths, etc.
Also any glass of anything we are trying to drink at the time.  If you don't
want to share around here, you have to use a water bottle, and you'd best
keep the cap on it and carry it around.  Any unsupervised container is
subject to licking.

I got Stinky a lovely EXPENSIVE new carrier with mesh sides (acutally
very  tough nylon mesh).  He ripped a hole in it about three minutes
after the first time I put him in it.  I turned around, and turned
back just in time to see his claw-studded paw come shooting out of the
hole.  He is always such a sweet, even-tempered guy, it always shakes
me up to see the hell he raises about being put in the carrier.

I hated it so much to put Boyfriend in a carrier to take him for the snip
last year.  He didn't trust me that much then, so I immediately went down in
his estimation.  He wailed loudly all the way there.  The vet said he was
very good while he was there.  He wailed all the way back.  I was worried
about him, but he was fine really.  He scoffed a small meal down as soon as
I let him out of the carrier and he could fly into the kitchen.
