I didn't know you could get feliway online, I'll definitely look into it. The dose I was giving Tiger of the Max was just in the morning. I've looked into it and I think the issue is due to opening the capsule and mixing it in with his food. The product has been designed to not dissolve in the stomach and instead be slowly released into the bloodstream. But Dr. Loops, the vet who I found through that homeopathic remedy site suggested half a capsule but for whatever reason it makes Tiger very uncomfortable. On his third dose, I gave him just a third of a capsule and that was after not having it for a few days. Shortly after he was growly.
I haven't taken him back to my vet who removed his tumor because it's either 3 ferry rides away and two hours drive or I have to catch a float plane which is pretty expensive. I do think that the tumor is coming back though because his purring has that deeper, rumbly sound to it that I first noticed months ago when this whole thing started. He also seems to have some swallowing issues. Nothing that indicates that he is suffering as far as I can tell but he does swallow extra times when eating or drinking as opposed to the other cats. Almost as if there is a bit of an obstruction which I'm guessing is perhaps a tumor.
He's been off the pred for a few months but maybe I should put him back on it. I get it on a regular basis because Jimmy has asthma. The only thing I don't like about it is that it causes muscle wasting but at this point I guess I have to choose which is worse. Keeping tumors at bay is more important.

He's been doing really well for the past few days. He's been in a particularily good mood lately and it has been great. He's always very hungry so I feed him often and he seems to look forward to it. Right now he's cozy in a chair bundled in a blanket behind me here in the den while I type away.
