They have been separated since July 4th, by floors. the upstairs cat (Abii) will not even come down the stairs anymore, to sit in front of the side railing. This weekend my husband took a drastic turn and removed the gate we'd installed at the bottom of the stairs. He was on the stairs with Abii...

My Joon has been a scratcher for a long time, to the point where she'll just not stop scratching a spot until we say "JOON. Stop scratching please!!" and she had a bunch of scabs on her body. We'd tried a few different antihistamines but they didn't work. Recent vet said food allergies. Vet...

I'm not supposed to give her anything other than her prescription food, because of the food allergies. =/

So my poor girl who has been an itchy girl for so many years, resistant to antihistamines, finally met a vet who said "food allergies". The vet talked a lot about putting her on a different protein, like rabbit, but then said it's hard to find a food that is "certified" to contain only the...

My girl Joon went in last Wednesday for dental work - deep cleaning and they ended up pulling 3 teeth. We also started her on her new Hills Prescription food z/d that will hopefully stop her 24/7 scratching. Luckily she loves the new food. I added hot water to the dry food to make it easier to...

I bought 4. I think I'll put the one back in the bedroom, then, after your response. I can leave one in the bedroom which is where Abii is hanging out most, one in the living room and one in the dining room. It's not like the house is huge (1800 sq ft) and they do tend to stick to the three...

I wrote about my girls a week ago (http://www.thecatsite.com/t/301097/cats-suddenly-fighting-one-is-spraying-both-fixed-females#post_3777471) they are still on separate floors. Abii who is upstairs did come down the other day, all the way into the living room which is progress......but then when...

I've thought of this, but.....Abii is a hider. She is comfortable, so to speak, under the beds. Its her safe space. When strangers come to the house, it's where she goes. Joon, though, is like a toddler and would flip out if put upstairs. She would never be okay with it. Abii is pretty...

Well naturally we have bedroom doors, but locking Abii in a single room is cruel. She kept her feral instincts and even after 6 years with us still has those skittish, preservation instincts. She can be sleeping and I make one false move with say, lifting a large item near her, and she'll bolt...

We're back to square one. Abii seemed to want downstairs this morning when husband went to work. Joon seemed happy. No nighttime growling from Joon. So I removed the barricades. I went to freaking PEE and Joon, unentertained for1 minute, went upstairs. Abii must have been near the top of the...

Joon calmed down a whole lot after we all woke up. In fact, the little frreakin Houdini found a way to get past the box barrier by (somehow) jumping up and through the railing that i thought she was too fat for; once up top she used her climbing skills to get over the fabric-covered baby gate...

Is pre-dawn the "witching hour" for cats, or something? I stayed down with Joon all night because she was so agitated due to all of the fireworks for the 4th, some of which were VERY close by. So at 4:30, same time as yesterday when they fought, I am woken from my barely-sleep by Joon standing...

no they are strictly indoors. local pet store sold me some stuff for outside that is granules, but then i read that it only lasts 24 hours!! argh! do you know which spray you bought>?

TY!!! They still have that sale. I got a few for when we have to go away for the weekend at the end of the month. Taking NO chances.

 Which Feliway product? I'm looking on amazon and there's a bunch of things. Currently on its way to me is "Nature's Miracle Just for Cats Calming Spray Stress Reducing Formula" and "Bach Flower Remedies Essences Rescue Remedy Spray Original Flower ". They're staying separate til tomorrow, at...

Interesting, although that is gonna get pricey. I would need one for all three sides of the porch and maybe 2 for the bay window. and it would likely be set off by things like the squirrels and crows, too, I would think? I'd trying to find something that will work though, definitely. But also...

An update to add in: Husband and I argued on the idea of separating them for the rest of the day and tonight, thought it was a bad idea. I'd given both girls a calming treat and put the pheromone calming collar on Joon. Abii was STILL under the bed, but purring. So we let Joon up, and I sit in...

Background: Both girls are shelter cats. One was a shelter, one was fostered from the time she was a young kitten. The fostered one (Abii) is more skittish and "wild" a bit, hates being shut into a room. LOVES us, head boops all day long, but pick her up? Nope. like trying to get a greased pig...
