Cat Fights

I was not able to squeeze in that specific question, as we had so much to talk about, but in the book, she does mention making sure the cat who is being attacked has somewhere he or she can go to get away from the other, and also mentioned using Feliway spray around to keep things calmer. Did you know (which I didn't) that Feliway is based on the hormones cats leave on things when they rub their faces on them? So it makes them feel calm and like it's all okay!

Thanks Karen! I am going to get some of the Feliway.

This morning they were fine. I was getting ready for work and going from room to room as I usually do. They were hanging out by the food dishes together. Even though I put food in their bowls the minute I get up, they still sit there like they are expecting something more.

One of the interesting things she mentioned in the book - I'll get a review up on my blog soon, is that cats have much more persistence and patience than we humans by nature. That's why they are often better at training us than vice versa!

Isn't that the truth!

I like the idea if the spary bottle and Feliway.

Let is know how it goes! Good luck!

So you know that Diego was attacking Cali and that Diego is on prozac. Well sometimes he still goes after her. This is when I break out the feliway and a collar for each of them. I spray the feliway on the collar and each kitty gets to wear one for as long as I determine is necessary. All chasing, biting, etc. stops immediately. I've been doing this for a while. Now, when they misbehave all I have to do is pull the collars out and shake them so kitties see them and all action stops immediately. They do not want to wear the collars so they settle right down.
