What a wonderful suggestion! I'm surprised none of us here thought of that, but thank goodness your vet did. I really, really, really hope she can pull off the miracle you are hoping for.
Can't wait for Aug 7th! :)

Sallyanne, I think you are absolutely wonderful for not giving up on Ti and trying yet again to find an answer. I admire you so.
I will be praying that the behaviourist can and does help. And come August we will have all fingers and paws crossed here too!:)
Maybe we could do a closed circuit TV/video thingie and have Edwina and poor Eduardo participate.
I just cannot wait.
One of our dear Pet Talkers just sent me some web site information to go and look at, and having just peeked, I bet it is going to be interesting to see how long I will need to confine my pets, before they start behaving properly!
I will wait until the behaviorist sends me the questionaire - and probably instructions on what to do before she arrives.
I hope Miley snaps out of her blue funk before August 7th! I will take her to the vet if she is still like she was this morning. She could hardly lift her head without having a pathetic look on her furry little face. Poor baby. Maybe that's her way of controlling the situation. She is the victim. Who the hell knows. I am getting excited to think that there may be a happy ending to this situation.
Yikes!:(
That's great news! After all you've been through this could be the answer. Congrats for hanging in there as look as you have. Aug 7th is still a couple of weeks away - I pray that's it's a somewhat peaceful wait....
Keeping fingers and paws crossed that it all gets sorted out!
Keep us posted!
*HUGS*
Fingers and paws crossed that this helps.
Sas, good for you for trying something new to help your kitties!:)
I never even knew Vermont had a cat behaviorist!(having a single cat I have never needed one)
Hang in there until August 7th Miley! Help is on the way!:)
Best of luck.
Good luck with everything. I really hope the behaviorist is able to help the problem.
That sounds promising, hope she'll find a solution.
I have read a cat behaviourist's book (I think Pamela Johnson-Bennett was her name), and I was impressed how good it was. I took a lot of helpful advice from it when raising Luna - and Luna is a good girl now. :)
Good luck,
Kirsten
Great idea SAS! I can't wait to hear the outcome. :)
Poor Miley girl. Can you give her extra attention? I know with Micah, we can't even yell at him to get off the counter cause he's so sensitive. :( Poor Abys...such sensitive little creatures. When I give him even five extra minutes of attention, his little spirit soars!
Took the words right out of my mouth! Oh I hope this will help! (((hugs))) to you and Miley, and Ti and Juni! I am allowing my mind to go wild and am picturing a Miley/Ti grooming session. I know, slap me back to reality! Fingers all crossed tightly here!Quote:

Oh! Best of Luck with the behaviorist! I hope she/he has a lot of background to refer to.
Sounds like they wish to be thorough. Can you tape record her visit? (like at a doctors?) It can free up your mind from having to keep notes.
Everything's crossed here!
These three should drive the behaviorist nuts for sure.
I guess my concern is what to do in the mean time. I hope they give me some preliminary instructions.....I guess I will keep them totally apart until August. Actually, that is what I was trying to do anyway, and it was Ti that figured out how to hand on door knobs and open doors, and changed things for a while!
Ijust now read a thread about a person having their dogs studied by a behaviorist. I suspect I will have some homework cut out for me, too. It will be interesting. I have the time, so I may as well spend it in "repairing relationships" mode.....
Right now Ti is howling, sitting outside the computer room screened in door, wanting in...... How lovely. I hope he does this when Lisa, the behaviorist is here!......
Is there any way you can get it on tape? Know anyone with a video camera?Quote:

I know my cats are notorious for acting sick at home and FINE at the vet...sillies!!
