Problems with Jorgie....

Oh, he's gorgeous too. I hope he comes around.

Have you considered getting Jorgie to calm down by using a homeopathic/natural product? When I first brought my 2nd cat in the household, the 1st cat went ballistic. It took me some time before I decided to use a product I found at Petsmart called Calm??? or something like that. Let me see if I can find the link.

This is another product I've used in the past to detense my older cat when a younger cat was introduced into the family:

Both worked and I was able to reduce the dosage until she was totally calm and no more anxieties existed.

You may want to consider something like this? I would dose some wet cat food for your ferel cat (of course keep the other cats away from that food) and maybe then you'll be able to Jorgie into a cat carrier.

I still have that problem with Scrappy 2 , Miquelito and Pouncierge who are friendly , but theres no way that I could ever get them into a carrier and get them in to see Our Vet , or even have him look at them.
I pray that you can calm Jorgie down enough to have him groomed, maybe even a Lion Cut so his fuur grows back in slowly.
Hes a Great Gentle Giant, and it may take time before he trusts and loves you back.

Oh my He is of Such Beauty.. I would say get him in a room by himself & put a carrier in their with food in the back of it & try to temp him that way.. Maybe talk to your Vet about something to put in his food that will make him drowsy/sleepy & then you could catch him..

I'm thinking maybe a tranq might be the answer to my problem of getting him in a carrier. It's hard to get him in a room by himself, he panics and tries to climb the walls and the windows. He just totally freaks out.

I'll have to see if I can find something to put in the water and maybe that will help. Does any one use Rescue Remedy with any kind of success?? I tried that Calm stuff from PetSmart and didn't see any kind of change at all.

I used with success something that came in a cobalt blue bottle, with an eyedropper in the lid. The name escapes me at the moment . . . but I found it in my local pet store.

This is what I was thinking of:

He's been with me for almost 5 years.... it would be nice if he'd come around soon, lol.

They take their own time in these matters..

He is so beautiful, Jenn. I hope you can find a way to work this out.
