Hi again, Thanks for all the great comments. Sharky - I'm inclined to believe it's the peas as well. It's my mama gut reaction. Strange_wings - I actually mentioned Fiona's age twice, in my first post as well as in response. She's a year and a half. She's been on grain-free, high protein...

Wow, thanks Violet. I knew I wouldn't be alone in this! That's why I posted here. My gut says it's the peas, but it could be the flax. What do you have your Amy on?

Hi Strange_wings, Thanks for responding. We haven't yet figured out Fiona's other allergies - she's a year and a half now. But I can assume since she was on the Nutrience without much of an issue that she's not allergic to the ingredients in that food (Chicken and Rice). She's been on a...

Hello everyone! It's been a really long time since I've written and I'm no longer a "new foster mom", but I need a little guidance. And, of course, this forum is the second place I turn (frantic google searching takes first place). Here's my question: Have you ever heard of a cat allergic to...

it IS possible that she's hard of hearing. from my experience with people who are hard of hearing, it's sometimes really difficult to tell without testing. mind you, she's comes to kissy sounds and finger snapping...

hello! i posted a couple of times a couple of years ago about a feral cat named piano and always found the help to be wonderfully supportive. piano eventually went to live with a couple of ladies north of the city (toronto) where she was able to hang out with other cats, sleep in a warm and...

i checked out the link you sent and there is lots of good info. basically, it sounds like i need to be patient. give both the cat and myself more time. i just hate not giving her free room to move around! but it seems like the best option right now.

yeah, as i said, i'm wondering if she would be happier somewhere where she could be outdoors a bit and roam freely.....while still being fed and looked out for of course i will keep her in the kennel for a while in attempt to calm things down and create something consistent. that is my...

thank you for your story and encouragement. i will take it into consideration. i too think that her actions are out of fear and reaction to change, but part of me just wonders if she would be happier on a farm. geez, how am i supposed to know what she REALLY wants and needs?

hello. after having a fluffy feral in my house for 10 months and her slowly - and i mean SLOWLY- coming around- she has regressed and i am wondering what the next best steps are that i should take. here is the story...... she came to us fixed and with all her shots from a friend of mine who...

hi nik... i wonder if you're at all interested in a delightful, but terribly timid female feline. piano is a feral rescue my roommate and i took in about a month and a half ago. as she was completely feral when we got her (no real human contact), she required litter and house training. she's...

Thank you again, Laurie. Piano doesn't make any noise at all otherwise. It's only in this situation that she's started it. She doesn't seem angry or fearful at all, so I agree with your take on that. However, she also doesn't continue this behaviour at any other time. She's still regular...

well, jeepers, it seemed like we were just sailing along... piano came up to my hand to eat some cheese out of it, not once, or twice, but three times over different days!!! amazing. she hangs out in the same room, sometimes coming over to check me out. i remain really quiet and still when...

okay...so we are making progress. you're right, nanner, every step is so rewarding. this past week... piano peed on the chair again. then i remembered that for the better part of a decade, our old cat used to sleep on this chair. marking territory??? anyway, washed, cleaned, deodorized...

thanks again, laurie. it's just nice to see some improvement in her. i'll read the thread about jimmy when i have a bit of time. we used a product called TKO on the places she peed. the local pet store carries it and uses it all over. a number of their customers also use it for their pet...

hi! well, we've been trying to be very patient with piano, but it's so tough. i just want her to feel safe. so, i've been instituting as close to a schedule as possible (a vague schedule but close to regimented). and i've been trying to convince her closer with food. and it seems to be...

oh yeah... and the routine thing...well, we'll try. we have trouble giving OURSELVES a routine that works. but then, as i type, she has snuck out behind me and i can hear her munching that salmon. perhaps there's hope after all! helen.

hi laurie! thank you so much for your wonderful advice! there have been a number of changes since i last posted, the main one being that piano left the crate she was in. i had taken to leaving the door open while i was around, simply to remove the barrier between us. she was still hissing...

hi... we recently became the lucky guardians of a stray cat. she was trapped by a friend and taken to the vet for vaccinations and spaying. we're not sure how old she is (the vet didn't say) but she looks, by my untrained eye, under a year but over six months. she seems completely...
