my resident cat has been showing aggression to us sine intro of new kitten! no one has had similar experience. Vet says hes fine physically and to plug feliways back in and add calming collar. No change. She calls it hyper vigilance. My resident cat always feels on guard , on high alert. Dr...
I get this. He must have an extreme case. I should add I’m in a condo. Smaller space. So he’s having to share territory too.
I’m guessing my clothes must smell of the kitten and maybe on the walk he gets a whiff? It’s scary cuz we are outside. And it’s hard to control him in that state. I have...
I do agree that it is a form of redirected aggression, but articles i have read make it sound like the aggression is quick and and impulsive. All referring to the cat sitting in the window seeing another cat then impulsively hissing or swatting at you. Most articles stating to remove the...
Thank you, i am going to research it. Im hesitant on the calming collar, do you think that's phermone overload with 2 feliway plugged in?

Mookie is tolerant and sweet to the new kitten. They play, chase, stalk...
Thank you for all your words of wisdom and sympathies. Some people don't understand the loss or the grief that comes with it. "Oh your cat ?" ,"she was just a cat" , or many other ignorant statements. I grieve a grief not may understand. I think when she was dying that's why I sought this group...
My Lily girl purred til the end yesterday, 12,/12/16.
They say a cats love is earned. She wasn't your conforming , cuddly, needy cat. She did her thing, was elusive and snobby. Given space, respect and love, she became my "go to girl " for love and quiet support.she was not happy when I brought...
