According to Dr. Berard, it is strictly territorial with Buddy. No blood tests or x-rays necessary. He does have a slight heart murmur.

I told him I had a couple of containers of water around my place in case he wants a "sippy". He said the best way to get fluids into him is to feed him canned cat food, as it has 90% water.

I bought a can of Feliway and will use it in the bathroom when Buddy is put in there at night and when I am not home. It's going to take time and patience and I am not going to give up on him. Dr. Berard also said that because he was bounced around to 7 homes in less than a year (I got him last August) he's probably stressed out because he's insecure about if this is the last stop or if he's going out again. He ain't going nowhere!!!

According to the vet, I have been doing everything right and that is a big plus.

The total bill including the Feliway??? $70 AND I can pay the balance when I can.

Right now the Budman is asleep on top of the tv. He got a couple of whiffs of Feliway and is doin well. MooShoo is one wet Sphynx.
