Feral rescue still aggressive towards resident cat

[hissy5656]

Many thanks for your replies it seems strange to get good advice for free i will certainly be making enquires about Feliway and also Anaflora as it may help Ginger as she is now terrified and spends all day under the sideboard since hissy had a go at her, but at least she's seen the vet and inside. As for the fleas I have obtained some Revolution this product seems more of an American product so i hope its ok for uk cats as for the administering of this product the problem is the parting of fur and applying with hissy the only thing that gets parted is your skin so i just drop it on him from a distance and hope for the best i am trying to get him familiar with touching in that area maybe next months treatment will be better

I have abandoned my Hissy/Ginger socialising efforts so Ginger stays downstairs and hissy stays upstairs with access to the loft where he spends his time scratching the wallpaper off and glaring out the windows growling at the passing cats at night I dont allow him access to the bedroom since he bit my toe and my nail fell off

I am pleasantly surprised that hissy tries his best with a litter box he prefers for some reason little ginger's old box and with an expression on his face that cracks me up excavates a huge hole then stands on the side, this more often than not tips the box over. the mess when he's finished is usually amazing, i dont mind, he trys

Above Hissy a lot better than he was

Glad to hear that things are improving somewhat.

Maybe it's just me, or it's the angle that the picture was taken, but that litterbox looks awfully small for a cat of that size.

Yes, Revolution is the product name used, among others, in USA. In most other countries it is called for Stronghold I believe.
Everywhere it is confirmed as an useful anti-parasit product.

So you dont need to worry for your Briton-cats!

(ps: Stronghold/Revolution is often used by rescue-groups on feral cats: it is very easy to administer, you hardly dont even need to hold the cat. So I guess your adminstration is quite adequate, even if you dont manage to part the fur and lay the drops on the skin as written in the prescription.
You must beware though of open fire in the next half-an hour, the liquid is flammable. and you have often open fires in Britain...

Glad to hear things are improving, slowly but sure.

That's little Ginger's old box i brought him a huge new one, filled it with the same stuff and he would not go in it, instead he went beside it and pulled the stones out the box to cover up

All my pets have been strays and he is most certainly the strangest. Thanks also for the info on Revolution stepanz hopefully i will get more on hissy next time.
