Ms Aimee, she's not really agitated per se- just bites and scratches with any interaction. She's actually kitten-ish most of the time, running around maniacally, playing with kitty toys. She will let me stroke her when she eats and when I give her treats- and even purrs. And she does forget...

Thanks very much. These are great suggestions. I have some of the wand toys but they are the long kind that you use standing up- can see where "looming over her" might be threatening. I'll try a short feather one. Just had her spayed three days ago- the surgery did not slow her down- she came...

When we were vacationing in Hawaii two months ago found a starving kitten on the beach. The beach was surrounded by jungle so we had the sense she was either feral or had been dumped and barely surviving. Despite her poor condition she was very friendly and calm. After parking her at the local...

One really nice thing- was just petting Maui and she was happily purring while on bed. 1 y/o kitty Jane came in, and they touched noses peaceably. Infact Maui never stopped purring. Off to look at videos you sent.

Thanks so much for your in depth reply and much needed help. Intros...we kept the kitty in a bedroom where she was behind 2 closed doors for about a week and a half. Then another of same with just one door between all 4 kitties for again about 10 days. Then moved to a bedroom where everyone...

Thanks so much Stephan, Yes, really want to twist my vet's arm with the spaying yet he is reluctant due to her rough start and barely normal weight. If we can get through a couple more weeks he says it will be better, This morning however things are a tiny bit different in the house. Or at...

We recently visited Maui and found a starving, weak kitten on a beach. Brought her to the Humane Society but ended up bringing her home to Oregon with us. Her estimated age was 4 months and only weighed 2 lbs. We have three other indoor cats at home and one big lab who are all mellow and get...

My feral cat was gone for a month and I also live in the country. Used a humane trap for the first two weeks and caught a neighbors cat and a raccoon during that time. Gave up and even got a kitty from the shelter. But after a month the weather became horrid and I had a feeling my kitty just...

Thanks MServant, He didn't think it would hurt although cautioned me to stick with 1/2 dose 250mg/day rather than 2x a day while his liver is still recovering. Can't tell you how helpful this site has been in navigating my way through this. I didn't even KNOW about herpes until my cats...

Hi Andrea D, Thank you. Can you tell me what kind of symptoms Inga is having now? Eye and/or nasal congestion/respiratory?

Thanks so much about the word about L-lysine. The little I just read about L-lysine can see why it's not something I want to give to a cat who's been just treated for hepatic liposis!!! Gosh thanks for telling me.

Thanks Flowerdew and MServant. Appreciate you sharing all of your experience :) I'm jumping 3 steps ahead in my thinking on this because almost certain that if Black Cat does get the nasal congestion part of this again, he will not survive. He absolutely will not eat if he is feeling the least...

Argggh! What about multiple cat households? If one of your kitties has a flare do the others? Or because it's activated by stress does it not work that way?

Mservant, LOL about keeping my stress level down! I'm using the L-lysine as a preventative all the time....is it meant for that or just to reduce symptoms when they flare? Did your kitty suffer appetite loss when he/she had symptoms?

Wondering if your kitty had nasal congestion when it flared up or just runny eyes?

What is the anti-histamine you give your cat and dosage?

Agree with Cleopatra's Mom about searching ever possible hideout for your kitty. My closest neighbor has a massive 2000 square foot deck that is close to ground level and a perfect hideout. I called under that deck for days and heard nothing back, but KNOW that's where he was. He was just too...

I have a feral cat named Blue who is an indoor cat like the rest. Always knew that if he ever got out he would be lost and not return- too afraid of motion, noise- anything. He'd be paralyzed. We live in the woods on 2 acres teaming with coyotes. And sure enough, husband accidentally left the...

Aye-yi-yi!! Hoping that I can manage my cat's his stress levels while I'm home. But he had a close call with death recently due to not eating and HL and a cascade of other probs as a result of herpes upper respiratory stuff. Have an uncancellable 2 week trip coming up in May that I'm freaking...

So sorry to hear of your cats problems. But glad to also hear that the lysine and lactoferrin helped. Can you tell me what the ongoing symptoms are like? And both nasal congestion AND eye irritation?
