Well I bought the Feliway Spray (Petco website advertising FAIL - it was $35.99 in the store; $23.97 online) and immediately sprayed when I got home. The result was eerily quiet cats all evening long except for a few low-level scuffles - no screams. It's weird having them both this calm.

Josie keeps trying to kiss Marbles; Marbles is slowly letting her get closer. They both love the laser pointer, so we may have an inroad to getting along at least when it comes to playtime.

I did lock Josie up again today. I feel bad doing that, but I guess it's necessary. The only room I can use for this is my tiny, somewhat dark bathroom. Marbles did seem a bit happier that I had done that yesterday; Josie didn't seem to care one way or the other; she's a very affectionate cat.

The Feliway came with a $10 off coupon - for the diffuser - WTF? Their marketing and pricing leaves a lot to be desired, but I guess they figure when people are desperate they will pay whatever they have to for peace. Today I checked Pet Food Express and their price is $34.99 for the spray
