HBunny, you are there. No bloodletting means they can take it from there. We are at 6 months introducing Prince formerly known as Black Kitty and Bootsie, our resident cat. Just a few face to face encounters. They accidentally spent a night in the house both free when Prince escaped his...
Mani,
After extensive investigation via Internet, I tried putting small amounts of dry food in 5 small ramekins and sort of hid them in accessible places in the two bedrooms Prince stays in just before going to bed. Voila! He's been quiet as a mouse for the last two nights since I started this!!!
Thanks Mani. I guess we are fortunate that the meowing if the only problem. We tried feeding him just before our bedtime last night and the resulting food coma worked well until about 3:00 am. But the meowing was short lived and no more followed after a couple of minutes. Prince seems slow...
We have now had Prince, formerly known as Black Kitty, inside for about 10 weeks. He is so affectionate at times, almost desperate for petting and being close. He is now starting to meow in the middle of the night. When I go to check on him, he evades me. After morning feeding, he's the...
It has been 6 weeks since we captured and neutered a 5 yr. old male cat and have him in a medium sized bedroom. He come out from under the bed for meals and seems to enjoy being petted, rubbed and fussed over for about 20-30 minutes and then goes back under the bed.
There are many comfortable...
Thank you SO much Margd! Your info is so appreciated. This morning, Sweet Boy came to the foot of the bed, stuck his sweet face out and meowed repeatedly! I talked to him while cleaning his box which he started using again during the night! Phew! I will do all of the things you have...
Sweet Boy (aka Black Kitty) was moved from his small bathroom into a bedroom all to himself. This move, unfortunately, was traumatizing to Sweet Boy. We tried to gently pick him up but he would have none of that, so we prodded him as gently as possible into the cat carrier (alien craft). He...
The best thing you can do is make him an inside cat, give him all shots, flea/mites/worms treatments to reduce his stress. He might overcome FIV or do well with it if these needs are met. Also, feed a high quality food!
Sweet Boy (aka Black Kitty) has now been in our small bathroom for a week. He is doing mostly well, calming down and being more quiet at night. He's using the litter box three or four times a day which we clean up from almost immediately. He really goes overboard trying to bury his deposits...
Thanks so much for your comments Molly92. The strong smell is there for sure, but he hasn't sprayed since the neutering fortunately. He just radiates the smell and we were forewarned about that. Here he is minutes before capture. We will move cautiously forward!
