Zoe to the vet Update #22 Another update #25

[Catty1]

pom, it doesn't happen all the time. But what you said made me think that Zoe is a fear fighter. She IS half the size of the other two, and if one is accidentally falling in her direction, she certainly would see it as an attack!

She is fearful and distrustful of them both, though. She does touch noses on occasion with Cole. Oscar is the alpha cat and often all he has to do is stand still and just look at her to remind her! This usually happens is she is lying on my legs and he wants the spot.

Will keep you posted.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your fur-kids, Catty1!!

My dear, little Zoe, I do hope your visit to the white coats goes well and you are ok. Perhaps, like me you need a little help to take some of your anxiety away. I am a much happier boy, though still really jumpy, since I've been on Prozac. I wish you all the best.

A fellow anxious kitty,

Diego

Candace, I'm so sorry this is going on. It must be stressful for all involved.

Even if we didn't have the health reason for Pinot to be an only kitty, I'm afraid she would react like your Zoe, as she is so skittish. I hope you can get things calmed down.

I found the Sentry brand calming collars, 3 in a box, individually packaged for about $45.

I was going to collar all three kittys. However, since Zoe is the skittish one I put one on her. The package says it will take a couple of weeks to notice any changes.

She doesn't even know it's there! By the time I got home later today, Zoe and Oscar were within inches of each other, united under the banner of "You're late with our dinner!"

Cole seemed fine but didn't each much. That's usually a sign of tummy trouble, as in hairballs. That I can manage.

I will call the vet tomorrow. I'll see what the vet says. If it can wait a week or so til I get some more work that would be great. But if Zoe needs to go in, she will, no worries.

Thanks everyone.

ETA: Gayle, that's right - Diego would just suddenly up and attack his sister, right? That's like Zoe - if she thinks she is being attacked, she attacks! If she thinks Oscar and Cole have her cornered, she makes those weird sounds in her throat - even if she is not really cornered!

I just wanted to get something started right away ie the collar. I can always add meds to the collar.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope that things settle down soon. I have to deal with cats fighting with each other on a daily basis. My two girls just don't get along well with their brothers and they only tolerate Sky. This morning I woke up to Pearl & Ziggy growling at each other so they also fight with each other. I've tried feliway plug-ins and spray and also the calming collars and nothing seems to work. My girls love me but no one else. Ziggy will growl and hiss at both Alani & Blaze even if they just look at her from across the room. I sure hope that your home will become peaceful again. Good luck.

Thanks Tracey and everyone.

I think Zoe would like to be an only cat...but that won't happen!

I've heard a couple of hisses tonight but nothing serious.

KAK, I wish things could improve for you.

Nancy Efrusy is a pet psychic that did some really neat things for pets and owners here. It crossed my mind to contact her.

Nite nite everyone.
