Just When You Think Things Are Better.....

[Freedom]

Gosh it’s always something when you have so many!

I echo that!!!

Vita just started marking. She is 9, has always been "Queen of the Clowder." I had her in to the vet, no infection. The vet advised that I tr to keep her stress free. With 12 pets in the house?

So I tried Feliway. Thank goodness that is all it has taken here! I use the spray, I don't recommend the plug ins! I sprayed all the areas she was spraying, daily for the first week, every other day since. I also made "sleeve" to go over her collar, and I spray the sleeve. (Feliway cautions not to spray directly on the cat.)

For 11 months, I had a LOT of cats and dog coming in and out. I had already stopped that, in September. We all needed time to get used to each other.

Maybe something here will trigger an idea for you? I hope so.

Does Garbo's behavior coincide with Leila's release? Could he be saying this is ONE too many?

Or maybe if it is him asserting his age, some medication might help calm him down.

Either way......best of luck with the situation. It often make you just want to scream.

Lisa, I'm sorry to hear that now Garbo has started spraying. Hopefully this behavior won't last very long. I have a hard time keeping all 6 of my cats happy so I can't even imagine how you do it.

Storm,Pearl, and Sky were picking on poor Starr during the night and this morning and Pearl and Storm still continue to have a few spats every now and then. I just hope that this is a temporary thing. I hope that you'll be able to find a good solution for this problem. Good luck.
