I bought Oliver the Kittywalk penthouse and the Kittywalk room, they can be found at http://www.midnightpass.com/kittywal...-products.html They are a bit pricey but he's worth it (and so is my sanity He has a retractible leash and a harness that's actually designed for small dogs, it's...

Hi Javier, I'm in the same situation with my boy Oliver. We adopted him from a shelter last October and this spring he started driving us crazy with his yeowling and scratching at the door. He even started spraying inside, and he's neutered. We have bought him an outdoor enclosure that allows...

I would try it 2-3x a day, just a drop or two. This worked for me when I introduced the new addition. (Credit to Hissy for the original suggestion ). You may want to try increasing the territory in the house, it sounds like Boogie may feel threatened by the others encroaching on his space...

Are all the cats fixed? Is Boogie medically fine? If "yes", there are some great suggestions in the posts at the top of the message board, among the points are getting the cats to have the same scent by putting some vanilla extract on their chin, between shoulder blades and end of tail (at...

Thanks for all the input. Yes he is neutered but he was already an adult (we got him as a stray from a shelter) and I think he has a lot of male territorial behaviour in him. I don't mind taking him out a couple of times a day since he gets such a kick out of it, but the crying is too much...

Does anyone have a good suggestion for getting a cat who cries to go out ALL THE TIME to stop? I do take him out on a harness 2-3x a day and he loves it, but he cries to go out all the time and of course he can't be out all the time (he's an indoor cat and I won't let him run free; we are in...

Thanks, jlitt. My main concern was the alcohol in the rescue remedy. Could this cause a problem? I've heard that alcohol with certain medications can be a problem for people, but I won't be letting Oliver drive or operate any heavy machinery I didn't know if that could have any other...

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a problem with giving a cat Rescue Remedy if he is taking other medication? My Oliver is currently taking Elavil (amitriptyline?) for spraying and it has made him seem "happier" overall, but at times he gets really stressed around the other cat and I would...

My vet gave me some Amitriptyline (Elavil) for urine spraying (it was for my cat, not for ME!). Does anyone know how long this takes to work?

Rescue Remedy is available at GNC nutrition stores. It can be put in their water or administered orally. Another way to give it is to rub a few drops on their ears so it can be absorbed.

Thanks for all the input--it sounds like there have been mixed successes. I imagine it's something you have to really work at getting the right combination and dosage. I'll check out the Little Big Cat site. Iluvcandy, regarding the "inactive" alcohol, my guess would be that it has no...

Hi Hissy, You've mentioned the Bach remedies a few times and I was wondering what success you've had with them. I posted earlier about my cats not getting along and you suggested impatiens for my 12 y.o. girl who is terrified of my 2 y.o. boy and goes crazy whenever she sees him. I tried...

Thanks for the replies. At this point, I will try just about anything. Hissy, have you had success with the Bach remedies? I tried Rescue Remedy for a while but it didn't seem to help.

Is there anything I can do to stop my 12 y.o. female from "freaking out" every time she sees my 2 y.o. male? (both are fixed). We have had him for 4 months but she still throws a hissing and growling fit every time she sees him and hides. When they are on opposite sides of a door, she will...

I think he is getting worse. I have taken him out on the harness a few times every day and he marks the bushes in the front, but as soon as I come in he cries to go out again. He seems so unhappy to be here, I honestly don't know what to do with this cat. He is behaving like an un-neutered...
