Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004More Problems!
Well, I guess I didn't get the smell of d*g out of the house completely because Jessie is still acting out. Monday night she kept jumping on my be and getting into Bandit's face. Last night she did the same but this time there were claws out and Bandit received a slice on her left paw pad. It didn't bleed too badly and wasn't too deep, so I just cleaned it off and checked it again this morning (closed and on the way to healing nicely). I'm going to check with my DH today to see if Jessie is still agitated, and if she is I'll try getting some Fellaway at PetsMart. I've never used Fellaway before (thankfully have never had to), so any advice would be welcome. I'm going to try getting just the spray at first rather than the more expensive dispenser since I'm hoping I'll only have to use it for a little while. Any other ideas on curbing the naughty behavior? Hugs, CatNipped > Well, I guess I didn't get the smell of d*g out of the house completely > because Jessie is still acting out.

Yep, the only thing that kept me from separating them right away is that I didn't want to confine them again after their recent confinement (which is what I think contributed to Jessie's "acting out" - Jessie has laid claim to DH and is usually in his office or the cats' bedroom upstairs - my bedroom is Bandit's and Sammy's territory that she was forced to inhabit).

I've used the Feliway spray and it does seem to help. I tried Rescue Remedy, but it did nothing. I haven't tried the vanilla trick of putting a dab of vanilla on the shoulders and just above the base of the tail on each cat so that they share a common odor. You could try that along with a vanilla scented carpet powder that you sprinkle on the carpet before vacuuming. Most likey, it will be a matter of time whatever you do. By-the-way, did you see that the remnants of Ivan turned back to Florida and have crossed into the Gulf of Mexico on and are on the way to Texas? Annie > Cinder and Rosie don't exactly get along.

Oh, thanks for the spelling correction - I was going to google it and would have not found it spelled the way I had it. I don't think it's a matter of smells. Every night I use a soft bristled brush on all my girls (except Sammy who still tries to eat and disembowel the brush), on after the other in order of seniority. I think this spreads around their smell to each other. Jessie is just very active and very "high-strung", so I think she is acting out because of the confinement and the remaining smell of d*g in her house. I'm hoping the Feliway hormones will calm her down. > By-the-way, did you see that the remnants of Ivan turned back to Florida > and have crossed into the Gulf of Mexico on and are on the way to Texas? > Annie Ohmygawd, yes - will it never end!!??? We're supposed to be getting the effect by this weekend - just in time to ruin our office picnic Saturday. Thanks for the advice Annie! Hugs, CatNipped > Ohmygawd, yes - will it never end!!???

You know who might show up on your doorstep again. We are supposed to be on a committee boat during a sailing regatta on Saturday. As far as I know, that is the boat that hangs out by the start and finish lines and keeps track of who wins. We've never done this before. It should be fun if the weather is nice. I hope that if the weather is bad, they will call it off. I don't want to be out on the water during a storm. I'd much rather be home with the shutters down and with a purring cat snuggled on my lap. Annie Weather is weird, isn't it??? What with all of the horrible weather at the Gulf & East coasts, and coming up through the Appalachians, here in S IN, it has been BEEE YOU TEE FULL. 70's, maybe 80's during the day, 50's at night (sleep-with-the-windows-open-&-the-electric-blanket-on-weather). There's not a cloud in the sky, and the forecast is that it's going to remain that way until late NEXT week. The bad thing is that it's been so dry out I've had to water my little garden (decorative plants only), but NOT dry enough to stem the growth of the lawn, so I still have to mow it!

I am *SO* jealous! We get about 5 minutes a year of weather like that here in Houston. There are just two types of weather here, hot and humid, or cold and rainy (and only cold and rainy a few weeks out of the year). I don't understand how the gummint can keep denying global warming - there has been well documented results of global warming in Alaska and all around the world. I hope everyone will pull their heads out of the sand in time to avert a world-wide disaster!! Hugs, CatNipped > (Grin) Hope it doesn't head for New Orleans!

Hugs, CatNipped I would give extra time to each kitty, especially any that are acting out, and give them lots of positive attention. I'd reward any good behavior (which I'm also including to mean, anytime they're just sitting there getting along) with lots of praise and maybe a treat or two. If you seriously need to get the diffusers, check out www.valleyvet.com, their prices are cheaper than Petsmart or Petco -- also someone else may have a better source for this, too, seems like I recall maybe Victor had another site he ordered from? You can try checking out this site for pet stains, also -- http://www.mistermax.com/products.html -- I did use their product and it was pretty good but I don't know if it's better than Petzyme which you can get by the gallon at Petsmart. Purrs and good vibes coming your way, Catnipped! Christine > Well, I guess I didn't get the smell of d*g out of the house completely > because Jessie is still acting out.

I've been using one upstairs and one downstairs and it calms PsychoCatFromHell down enough so that he doesn't completely drive Waffles over the edge. It's good stuff.
