Hi and thank you both for offering some suggestions. It's amazing how little information is available on keeping a pet on crate rest. It seems that even anti-anxiety medications are limited. I'll definitely look into the Feliway and consider some kind of visual stimulus. At first, I...

I think it's a great idea on the surface but agree with twstychik that if you don't plan on keeping her indoors she may be disoriented which could put her at a disadvantage. Do you feed her regularly? If you do then she might already consider you her "home base". I just recently dealt with...

Hi, I know this is a late reply but I'm writing to find out how your kitty did on crate rest and if you have any suggestions about handling it since you've been through it already. My cat just recently was missing for five days and came home with a broken pelvis (also dislocated). Vet doesn't...
