    What a wonderful suggestion! I'm surprised none of us here thought of that, but thank goodness your vet did. I really, really, really hope she can pull off the miracle you are hoping for.

    Can't wait for Aug 7th!

    Sallyanne, I think you are absolutely wonderful for not giving up on Ti and trying yet again to find an answer. I admire you so.
    I will be praying that the behaviourist can and does help. And come August we will have all fingers and paws crossed here too!

    Maybe Edwina would like to participate

    Maybe we could do a closed circuit TV/video thingie and have Edwina and poor Eduardo participate.

    I just cannot wait.

    One of our dear Pet Talkers just sent me some web site information to go and look at, and having just peeked, I bet it is going to be interesting to see how long I will need to confine my pets, before they start behaving properly!

    I will wait until the behaviorist sends me the questionaire - and probably instructions on what to do before she arrives.

    I hope Miley snaps out of her blue funk before August 7th! I will take her to the vet if she is still like she was this morning. She could hardly lift her head without having a pathetic look on her furry little face. Poor baby. Maybe that's her way of controlling the situation. She is the victim. Who the hell knows. I am getting excited to think that there may be a happy ending to this situation.

    Yikes!

    That's great news! After all you've been through this could be the answer. Congrats for hanging in there as look as you have. Aug 7th is still a couple of weeks away - I pray that's it's a somewhat peaceful wait....
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Sas, good for you for trying something new to help your kitties!
    I never even knew Vermont had a cat behaviorist!(having a single cat I have never needed one)
    Hang in there until August 7th Miley! Help is on the way!
    RIP sweet Samantha

    That sounds promising, hope she'll find a solution.

    I have read a cat behaviourist's book (I think Pamela Johnson-Bennett was her name), and I was impressed how good it was. I took a lot of helpful advice from it when raising Luna - and Luna is a good girl now.

    Good luck,

    Kirsten

    Great idea SAS! I can't wait to hear the outcome.

    Poor Miley girl. Can you give her extra attention? I know with Micah, we can't even yell at him to get off the counter cause he's so sensitive. Poor Abys...such sensitive little creatures. When I give him even five extra minutes of attention, his little spirit soars!

    Took the words right out of my mouth! Oh I hope this will help! (((hugs))) to you and Miley, and Ti and Juni! I am allowing my mind to go wild and am picturing a Miley/Ti grooming session. I know, slap me back to reality! Fingers all crossed tightly here!

    Oh! Best of Luck with the behaviorist! I hope she/he has a lot of background to refer to.
    Sounds like they wish to be thorough. Can you tape record her visit? (like at a doctors?) It can free up your mind from having to keep notes.

    Everything's crossed here!

    Ti / Miley / Juni

    These three should drive the behaviorist nuts for sure.

    I guess my concern is what to do in the mean time. I hope they give me some preliminary instructions.....I guess I will keep them totally apart until August. Actually, that is what I was trying to do anyway, and it was Ti that figured out how to hand on door knobs and open doors, and changed things for a while!

    Ijust now read a thread about a person having their dogs studied by a behaviorist. I suspect I will have some homework cut out for me, too. It will be interesting. I have the time, so I may as well spend it in "repairing relationships" mode.....

    Right now Ti is howling, sitting outside the computer room screened in door, wanting in...... How lovely. I hope he does this when Lisa, the behaviorist is here!......

    Is there any way you can get it on tape? Know anyone with a video camera?

    I know my cats are notorious for acting sick at home and FINE at the vet...sillies!!
