Blaze UPDATE

[K & L]

Debbie, believe me ... he's not cold! He's scared and would rather be in the safety of his familiar environment.

Anyway, where the problem lies is being able to medicate. We've had Blaze 8 - 9 years now and he's only warmed up a bit. He's been this way since a kitten and just one of those feral personalities that doesn't tame well. I know we could get him to be comfortable enough in the house to hide out, the problem lies in medicating him. How to do this for a lifetime? If it were for a week or two we could just keep him secluded until it's over with.

Jen, the food angle would work as long as he's by himself. Once he's out amongst the rest, food is fair game at our place! The problem with Blaze is I could set food down in his immediate location and he'll run off until I leave. By that time one of the others have swooped down on it. I'm sure once in a while this could work, but I sure wouldn't want prednisone being administered to the wrong cat.

Hopefully this will all work out. If not, then we'll have to see what other options, if any, we would have.

Thanks everyone! Blaze appreciates your input and concern!

A long shot....but would Feliway or something work with Blaze for a week or so...might calm him enough so he might get a bit more used to you?

Just trying to think of SOMETHING...

I Would Try The Puritan Canned Ham Or Turkey As I Did That When The Found Cats Had To Take Some Medicine.
With Moose The Madcap It Was Ice Cream, Venetian Vanilla.
