    How long does "displaced aggression" last?

    Thanks for the insight! For the entire day today, Bolo & Boots have been separated. In the morning I plan to go & buy some Feliway refills and plug them in for a while before I let them see each other again... I just know my luck & even though they're probably ok by now, I really dont want any...

    How long does "displaced aggression" last?

    Hello all...

This time however, I believe I know the cause: First off, our cats...

    Need suggestions on professional groomers....

    This is the information I was hoping to get. Thank you Icklemiss & Cear. I really wasn't crazy about the possibility of putting them under so they can get groomed (this would be their very first visit)... I just thought it might be less stressful, especially for Bolo, my 10 year old, as I'm...

    Moved in w/the girlfriend & our cats have declared war...

    I truly appreciate and thank everyone kind enough to take the time to respond to my plight. I'd like to start using the vanilla extract technique, along with the Feliway. But a couple of questions on both: How long does the vanilla extract scent last before I have to reapply? Where do you pick...

    Moved in w/the girlfriend & our cats have declared war...

    The last couple of face offs were a mix of both posturing and fighting, with Bolo (the older cat) being the definite aggressor. My stress level is through the roof right when they are doing this, but mostly out of fear to what they'll do to each other ( and maybe me! ) I've seen that with the...
