I wrote earlier about stray FElV+ Big Boy for whom I'm looking for a home.
In the meantime, he is confined to my bathroom or a big dog kennel I
borrowed. Problem is that he is now meowing almost constantly--I know he
wants to get out but I can't let him because of my own cats...Does anyone
have any suggestions as to how to calm him down & make him a little more
content?

You might try spraying Feliway every few hours on his bedding or whatever
sprayable surfaces he contacts, or put in a towel that's been sprayed with
it. Maybe a nice catnip-stuffed toy would be pleasant for him as well. And
of course, go in as often as you can and give him as much attention as
possible, the poor thing! Hope you find him a home very soon.

lots of toys and distractions. Give him lots of play time with you with a
toy he likes

Is it possible to put the kennel in an area where he can see what's going on
around him or with the other cats bother him....I never got to read your
original posts so I don't know the whole situation.

The reason I put him from bathroom to kennel is so that he could sit there
next to me while I worked on computer.... Original post is just below
(Desperately looking for home for Big Boy)...
