Thanks so much Nina & Kat. You're gems. Have passed on these great ideas, and will be speaking to her tonight. Fingers crossed.

Nina Kat wrote: Kerry, It's so hard when they get off to a wrong start... Basically, you have to go back to square one and start all over. Keeping them in seperate rooms, swapping their bedding each day, swapping their rooms every 4-5 days, using cooking vanilla dabbed on each one (both the head and the tail) to make them smell the same, and using the appropriate flower essences in each one's water (in addition to continuing with the Feliway). But this will take time. Do you think "Molly" will be open to this or does she think it's too late to start over? Here's hoping she's willing to give it another try.

Molly emailed the shelter and copied me in part (see below--I've changed all names to protect privacy!). It seems she's about to give up Katya because of the effect it's having on her own cat, "Amber". Molly, I believe, is a good person, and I'm frantically casting around for ideas to fix the situation. I would foster Katya again in a heartbeat,and have already let the shelter know this, but it would be better if we cd resolve the situation. I'm scheduled to speak to Molly tonight on the phone. I thought if I could give her some hope, maybe that would encourage her to keep trying. I already encouraged her a couple of weeks ago to buy Feliway diffusers. I believe she's done this. All ideas gratefully received. Kerry Amber and Katya's relationship isn't getting any better. I basically didn't see Amber for two days. She didn't come out from underneath the bed except to eat and use the litter box. Now she sleeps on the bathroom rug and not in my room because Katya is in there. I put up the gate keep Katya in the living room to allow Amber time to roam a bit, but she doesn't. I'll put her in the kitchen and she'll see Katya and immediately either run back into the bathroom or underneath the bed. It breaks my heart to see Amber like this and I miss my cat. I'm sad on so many levels. I don't think I can keep Katya... I just don't know what to do anymore. Kerry, I'll definitely give you a call tonight. Right now, I just keep crying. I'm so heartbroken, but I don't know what else to do. <<<< IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
