I am needing some for my Phantom and the rest of the pack Please. I has
been a very rough morning

Below is what is going on with replies I sent to everyone so far.

I HAD TO RUSH PHANTOM TO THE 24 HOUR VET CLINIC.

SOMETHING HAPPENED WHERE HE WENT RUNNING THRU THE HOUSE LIKE HE WAS IN A CAT
FIGHT. HISSING SCREAMING CATERWAULING LIKE HE WAS FIGHTING or SOMETHING. I
WENT out to find out what was wrong and ended up chasing him thru the house
where him and Rumble tangled but I think it was from being to close he ended
up in the front window in the curtains. I grabbed him to calm him down and
to see what was wrong. I got many war wounds from it. I got him in a
carrier to separate him. He was still growling and fussing for a little
while. I called the clinic to tell them I was coming. He calmed down a bit
and actually purred but when I opened the cage to touch him he was fine
till I touched his back legs. He growled a little bit at me. So we rushed
him to the vet we got there nothing was wrong you could touch him with no
problems. He was able to walk. Did discover a minor heart murmur but he
is 13 going on 14. The exam turned up nothing. So fine observe him tonight
if an problems take to regular vet in morning. Who will be called first
thing when he opens here today.

Well we get home let him out. No problems I go to find all the cats since
it was a scary moment for them. I found rumble right off. He walked by
Phantom no aggression. Ka'Shay came out of hiding but still is very
nervous. Found spirit hiding under my bed scared sh@tless. Phantom came in
the room saw Spirit and it started all over again. He took off doing the
same thing as above. Spirit got under the rest of the bed and urinated all
over himself. I got a hold of him and cleaned him up as best I could.
Cleaned up the mess what I could. I took him in the bathroom. He was
scared motionless while I ran the water over his back end. He gave me a
look of pure fear. I have never seen that before. I put him in the
bathroom to calm down a bit so I could go and find Phantom who was hiding
under a bed. He was growling and hissing for awhile finally talked him out
put him in the carrier which he was doing his best to get out. I decided to
get spirit out of the bathroom and let him run loose and put Phantom in the
bathroom with a litter pan for the night. Spirit is under mom's be scared
out of his mind. Ka'shay is hiding somewhere. Limo is hiding under the same
bed as spirit. Rumble is somewhere.

I have no idea why this started to night none of them are aggressive
towards on another. They were all fine before hand.

I don't know if they saw another cat thru the window but they have never
been like this before when we had tom's coming around. I am hoping for a
calmness in the morning.

I just woke up and checked here. Rumble is fine he only got into with
phantom when Phantom went rampaging thru the house and ran into him. I
managed to get Spirit out from under the bed for a few minutes got him to
cam down till he heard Phantom in the Bathroom. I went to check on Phantom
and he started hissing and growling before I even reached down. Spirit ran
back under the bed scared to death. I am trying to get a hold of the vet to
get in today.

I don't know if he did but it has been almost 8 hours since Phantom should
have calmed down by now

Thanks Helen but the vets thinks it might be worse than that. I just got
back from the vet. I have phantom separated in the bathroom. He will be in
there for the next couple days till this is worked out. The vet took blood
and is doing a full work up. He thinks if it is not behavioral it might be
thyroid. He did detect the heart murmur in Phantom

Spirit is still hiding and has not eaten. I have never seen him this scared
before. Rumble ate this morning but went back into hiding. Ka'shay is
hiding. Limo I is back out doing her thing but is anxious. I gave phantom
some food just a minute ago. I know he will eat.

I already talked to the vet he said if it is behavioral Phantom will
probably be put on valium. He recommended Feliway but as we all know it
takes time to work. I have already looked at get a large kennel where I can
keep Phantom and dumplin' apart if I need to put Phantom to be permanent
separate from the rest of the pack.
