Mistoffelees seems to have settled well now Billy ( my husband) has been gone a couple of months. Apart from his need to give his mummy a daily cuddle which i dont discourage. Grizzy on the other hand is still unsettled and now howls all night. i have tried keeping her out the bedroom as she only sleeps a coplue of hours a night and wants to play the rest so she sits at the door a howls. i have tried getting up cuddling her and putting her back to her bed with no results. i dont want to give her a row for it as she was an rescue cat that had been abandoned and she doesnt like it. what can i do, i must get some sleep as i am getting woken up every 90 minutes every night. i have to leave them for the weekend as i need to go visit my parents and i know sunday night will be worse. she is ok apart from the howls and her appetite is wonderful. Mistoffelees is losing patience and has just thumped her nose. he likes his sleep as well and is narky without it any advice welcome Cati and Mistoffeleese >Mistoffelees seems to have settled well now Billy ( my husband) has been >gone a couple of months.

I can't guatantee it will work, but it is worth a try. >Mistoffelees seems to have settled well now Billy ( my husband) has been >gone a couple of months.

Isn't playing in your bedroom half the night quieter and better than her howling outside the door all night? Have you tried Feliway or Rescue Remedy?

"A tired cat is a good cat." Is there any toy she goes nuts over playing with? Try to tire her out before heading to bed. A nice long play session with a piece of tissue paper does it for my boys. Good luck. lal > Greetings... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > lal I have to second this advice; it's the best I can think of too. I would certainly try some Feliway, also; it doesn't work the wonders for Mike that it seems to for some cats, but I do believe it takes a little of his edge off. We are sending soothing purrs to you and sleepy purrs to Grizzy; I hope it gets better for you soon. ------ Krista > > Greetings... > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > for Mike that it seems to for some cats, but I do believe it takes a > little of his edge off. I got her feliway six weeks ago to see if it settled her as she was confused at that point. it worked to a apoint as it stopped the wet carpets! i have tried playing with her before bedtime and all evening but Grizzy doesnt believe in sleeping at all. she has never slept for more than a couple of hours at night since i got her. never thought of rescue remedy, i do have some but how to i use it on cats. having been away for the weekend i expect a bad night today as they both normally act up when they think they have been abandoned for the weekend. thanks for the help Cati > I got her feliway six weeks ago to see if it settled her as she was confused > at that point. it worked to a apoint as it stopped the wet carpets! [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Cati Mike also slept very little (for a cat) when he was younger; I do sympathize. We have some Rescue Remedy and have tried rubbing one drop inside each of Mike's ears; we haven't seen that it made any difference. The label says you can do that or put it in his food or water; Mike doesn't drink out of his water bowl, but only dripping faucets, and he's a grazer eating a few bites at a time all day long, so we went with the ear thing. Have you asked your TED about it? After this long, I think I would. I know it seems entirely behavioral and due to circumstances, but you never know. I know when Mike was having his December sprayfest last year I put it down to the upset of routines at Christmas, which always makes him get agitated and spray more. But lo and behold, it wasn't *just* Christmas last year causing the problem; he also had a UTI. It was just a coincidence. We are continuing to send soothing purrs, and hope the situation improves pronto. ------ Krista > I got her feliway six weeks ago to see if it settled her as she was confused > at that point. it worked to a apoint as it stopped the wet carpets!

That kind of behaviour makes me think of hyperthyroidism. It makes cats hyperactive, but I admit that I'm paranoid about cats and hyperthyroidism, since both mine suffer from that. "Suffer". Ha! Thanks to their hyperthyroidism, they get a spoonful of sour cream twice a day, to hide the meds. ;o)  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki > Mistoffelees seems to have settled well now Billy ( my husband) has been > gone a couple of months.

However there is one happy cat in this story, a 15 year old Siamese, Mai Ling who is very happy to have her human back. |
