Then probably best to do so. Figaro will read off of you, and only make the situation worse. It's tough to deal with this kind of issue, and if it frustrates you to this extent, it is probably best to let someone else try. Have you had Figaro retested? Turning an outside cat into an inside cat is

The first thing I do when a new cat comes to me is spay or neuter, especially a male, makes him less agressive and cuts down on spraying. If he does spry, Jackson Galaxy has a product that really works! I use it for urine, vomit and it really newutralizews the odor. First though, I do not

mY hARLEY OFF AND ON CATCHES MOLES, SCREWS AND MICE because we do have invasions of mice in cold weather so I guess I should get him vacinnated for Rabies. The others just go out and sit on the deck, Harley is my mouser, anything that moves is prey including my toes under the cover.

I have a lemongrass inside with scales and mealy bugs. I would like to spray it and do a soil drench. Problem my cats love to eat lemongrass and I do not want to kill them while saving the plant which I can replace. I have not been able to get a satisfactory answer from the Green light

Figaro has urinated on the bed at least once before (didn't wake me up, but I was in bed), on a wall & somewhere yet to be discovered (somehow he got it on back of his neck that time!). I will try to find that other product Margo recommends. ___ Felvtalk

Yeah - I found a black light indispensable. It used to drive me nuts that I could smell the urine somewhere and I would clean and clean and could still smell it. The black light helped end the madness! Amani -Original Message- From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org]

Jen Can I plead with you on Figaro’s behalf? I know how unbelievably disruptive and disturbing it is to be peed on! I have had the pleasure. But very often it signals something else is wrong. In my last cat who did this – who squatted right on the bed while looking straight at me and peed, I

I was going to say urinary tract infection. Harley and Homey have both had that and peed just in front of the box. Went to the vet and got meds. Neither one was too happy about taking the medicine, but I found that if I sit in the recliner, wedge them between myself and the arm of the chair,

I agree, please give him another chance. Don't give up on him. I know it is a problem, but don't let your frustration get to you and then transfer to him. Take a deep breath, say a prayer. He isn't doing this to be mean or contrary, there is a problem that causes this. Amani Oakley

I'd be very careful about not spaying a FeLV positive cat...  I'm curious about this assertion that all have died within a week??  If that were a general outcome I think more of us would have heard about it ( we have spayed and neutered 10 cats at the shelter where I volunteer in the last year

Are you suggesting giving the vaccine to a cat (in my case 1.5) that has tested positive but no outward signs of the virus ? I too haven't spayed her as my vet suggests that every cat she has spayed/neutered that was positive died within a week. I made the decision based on that to not spay so
