    I throw these ideas out there for consideration.

    I have heard that the transdermal application, at least as to prozac, does not work.

    Multi food stations and litterboxes (more than we humans might think we need) seem critical.

    I did notice some relief with the calming collars.

    What are calming collars?

    Thanks for info, Cat, I shall investigate the collars. I did put a liquid that was for disfusers, on a collar and then on the cat and all I got was a cat with sores on her neck! I looked at the bottle and it said not to put it near the cat's skin! LOL! S t u p i d g i r l !


    I think maybe another medication, transdermally, might work. Something more potent!

    I will keep you folks informed. Thanks for the help. I know I seem like an idiot in that I cannot catch my cats to give them the pills. You have to see them in action to appreciate them!

    I have read this entire thread and I am exhausted.................for you!!

    How I wish that I had a good solution to offer you. But it looks as though
    you are getting the best advice from other pt'rs.

    Let me contribute some wine - at the least, along with my best wishes
    you find a solution for these beautiful kitties.

    I'm sorry to hear that things didn't work out. I know how frustrating it can be when you've pretty much tried everything and nothing works. Before I adopted Finnegan I decided to buy two Sentry Calming Collars for Pearl and Ziggy. They're covered in a powder which I didn't like and when it comes off it's very messy. They didn't seem to help either one of my girls. The only thing that I did notice was that they weren't eating as well as they should. It was like the collars made them lose their appetites. I took the collars off of them after about 2 weeks or so and they're appetites became much more normal again. Luckily things around here have calmed down and Pearl can now be out with both Colby and Finnegan without me having to worry about them. I know that there will always be squabbles or small fights but this is just the reality that I must face since I have 8 cats now. All in all they're very good cats and get along fairly well. I hope that you'll be able to find a better solution soon. Good luck.

    Maybe a thundershirt could help them. Here's a link about it: http://www.thundershirtforcats.com/?...FQF_hwodeElEoQ.
