Help! My kitties are suddenly viciously fighting.

I find that organic stuff similar to Feliway isn't as potent as Feliway.The organic stuff is made from herbs and flowers and other stuff. I've used both and that's what I've noticed.

I like to use the plug in Feliway just to keep the calming level constant. Good luck with your boys....

Weird question... but are you sure you have the right cat?
Mixups do happen, esp. when 2 cats have identical markings. the same happens with dogs.

I would take a good close look at the cat to ensure it is 100% your cat...

Other then that, I have no idea, I'm a cat mommy in learning *pokes Cam*

give both cats a bath, in case there is a weird smell?

Honestly I was wondering if they gave you the wrong cat, just like King. I've seen mix-ups happen before

LOL - I had wondered the same thing (if it was the right cat).... but it's definitely our boy. He has a bald patch on his left hind leg from when they shaved it for a blood test a few weeks ago. Fair question though!

We did the "kitty wipes" on Blackie to to clean him and get rid of whatever smell was on him... but by then, the damage was already done between the two kitties.

I bought the Feliway spray and plug-in tonight (ouch$$$). I sprayed all over... and (knock on wood) the boys already seem to be WAY calmer tonight. They actually sat side-by-side and ate from their bowls a little while ago. A small victory! They're pretty much ignoring each other, but I'll take that any day. I'll keep the plug-in going and spray each day to keep the "happy juice" flowing.

Thanks for the advice - it's funny you all had mentioned Feliway because 2 more coworkers/friends swore by it at work today. So far, I'm a believer.

I may need to spray some on myself now. ;-)

Purrs (and peace),

Glad to hear about the small Victory

Yes, the Plug in Feliway is $$$. BUT, once you have the plug in, you can go to a catalogue, like Care a lot pets. Right now the refills are on sale!! I stocked up!
