    help for kitties with megacolon

    Is everything going the way it should?

    My cats are all spayed females. I have used the Feliway diffuser since the day I brought new kitty in. I was just concerned that this behavior pattern would continue FOREVER. Sometimes I think that one of my residents cats wants to play with the new kitty, but the new kitty is so intimidated...

    Help

    Thanks for everyone's response. I will try the food treat idea, although even though abbey is 20 lbs(!) she only eats her cat food. Icy and Boo scarf up the treats so maybe it will help them. Also, what kind of vanilla should I use on the kitties? Just vanilla extract that I get in the...
