Pouncer Update...He needs PT prayers!!

LOLOLOLOL at the collar idea. Want a funny video? I will show you how Harry gets out of 10 different collars. I have quite the collar collection in hopes Harry would be able to wear ONE of them.

Does anyone know if you could spray a little feliway right ON the cat? Like the back of the head where it can't lick itself?

That is great news that Pouncer is back home!!! Is the med to relax the bladder called Probanthine?? If it is, watch out for the foamy mouth if the pill does not go right down!!!

Wow, that collar idea is great! Feliway is too expensive in a house w/7 cats but if I can do it that way, it's worth a try. If it works, I can take Specs and Yodie Yodie off the Clomicalm.

My Peeka (RB) used to stalk and attack poor Pidgie Pie all the time. Pidge lived under my bed basically for quite a while. Even after Peeka passed over, Pidge was always checking around the corner before she came out to eat or use the litterbox. Sometimes one cat just does not like another cat, just like humans.

What if you got more of the harness type deal?? that way, it's around the legs and all that, and a bit harder to get out of???

Jen - from what I have read, Feliway is not to contact a cat's skin. I don't know if this has to do with licking it off, or if it absorbs through the skin and shouldn't.

I'll google a bit and post anything I find here.

*I'm BAAAaaack....

There are two links at the bottom of this article. I HIGHLY recommend reading them as well.

Get Harry a harness. OR - if there is a place where he lies around for 3 - 4 hours, squirt the stuff on a rag and leave it beside him.

Hmmm....how long does it take Harry to get a collar off? If it had Feliway on it...he might not be so ornery!

Oscar's alternative to Feliway is amitriptyline (Elavil).


Good luck with Harry! And Pouncer boy!

How's our Pouncer boy doing today?

I'm sorry that Harry is mean to him. Lily asks if Pouncer wants her to come over to put Harry in his place. She's very confident that she can do that!

Pouncer and Harry are getting along better today. but it might be because Harry can't get within 5 feet of Pouncer before we're tossing Harry out of the room I locked Pouncer in my son's room last night complete with his own fresh water dish, food, and litterbox. He spent half the night trying to knock the door down. He only ate about half what I put down, which amounted to approximately 1/4 can. I called the vet and they have something else for me to pick up Monday. He only eats the SD when I sit there and hand fed him little amounts at a time. First off... this stuff smells AWFUL. Seconds off, its SQUISHY! (ooo... I am such a girl! LOL) Thirdly, it takes forever to get him to eat like this.

He's doing well this afternoon and I even spied Allen giving him a bath. We had a few visitors over this morning. They were young kids and of course they spotted him in the litterbox. They ran to him. I almst dove to stop them. Imagine me in slow motion calling out, "noooooo...... that kitty's sick!" as I dove to protect my boy from a couple of 5 year olds. Truly classic! But he stayed and played with the kids and the laser light.

I took a little nap this morning where I had Pouncer under the covers, Abby on top of the covers right next to him (oh my! ) and Flutter on the other side, with Nicki at my feet...... what a great life!

I have a ton of photos, but have to download them all - later tonight I promise.

Thank again for everyone's prayers. I was just sitting with Pouncer and he was purring his head off. I swore I'd never hear that purr ever again. My boy is back to normal.

Kim, I'm very happy to read this update!! I bet Pouncer's purring today was the most precious sound you ever heard!!

Wonderful news about Pouncer!!!
Looking forward to those pix, too!!!

[orangemm]

I'm so glad your boy is home again, where he can recuperate with those who love him. Now if only we could get Harry to knock it off, things would be great!

It's good that Harry's calmed down a bit, though. Have you considered tranquilizers for HIM?

Come on, Pouncer, eat some more for your meowmie........

[Medusa]

I'm so glad that Pouncer is back to normal. But if Harry gives you any more trouble, I'll send my Puddy over there. She'll straighten him out.
