Re Feliway, agree, I don't know if mine are doing any good or
not--Mickey is still prone to peeing on sofa when he mixes with my tame
cats--but I'm continuing to use as manufacturer recommends 90 days to
see change of behavior. FYI, however, for those who do use Feliway--my
local Petsmart matches the price of any internet price. The internet
price was $28 for plug-in (bad enough I know); Petsmart store price
$43!!. So I guess I did feel good about "saving" $15 per plug in.
Maybe I'll start using the spray more--I have At-Ease, which is cheaper
(thanks for the tip Nina!).

Finding her a home of her own in the future may be a really good thing.
Right now, lose on top of lose on top of lose it would be so hard on
her.
I don't care for the plugins at all. Others like them. I can control
what the spray is on and not on. And it has just worked better for me.
Someone on the list mentioned a knock off that works as well as Feliway.
Some of the super chains like Meijer's has it (at a lot lower cost than
vets etc). I think the last I bought was about $15 a bottle. Don't
even ask what the first bottle cost.

Hi Marylyn,
I just think that a lot of cats would want their own people,
rather than being in my noisy, chaotic house where it is hard for a
kitty to get some room to herself, and none of them really get enough
attention (in my opinion). But that may not be what she wants. It is
difficult for me to tell yet.
I will get some Feliway spray next payday. What do you think of
the plugins? Are they also usefull, or not?

Please don't even think about adopting her out, at least
for a long time. Can you imagine all the things that are going thru her
mind???? Try putting feliway spray on your hand when you want to pet
her. Honestly, it helped so much with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and
with several ferals.

She's MUCH better as of last night. Ate a whole
bowl of food, and let me come very close to touching her, then put her
paw out to stop me (no claws this time, though.).
I'm not sure of the next step. I can put her on
anti anxiety meds, but if she's ok with me I won't know if they are
working. I don't think I can take a chance on adopting her out at this
point.

This is very true. Dixie Louise, who is
a very laid back cat, snarled at a friend who had on a strange

Kelley,
Do you wear any scents....or are you a
smoker? It may take her a while to get used to your smell....or lack of
if her owner used perfume or smoked.

No, I don't think she is feral at all.
Her ex-guardian had her since 8 weeks of age, per the medical records
she gave me. (she's had WAY too many shots, IMHO - the vet we have
inside Petsmart here seems to be quite the ripoff joint).
She doesn't seem to like my voice, she
bares her teeth and hisses at me when she hears it.
Seems pretty indifferent to other cats
so far (I shoo them out when they go in her room, but she pays no mind
to them).

Keep in mind that apparently she's not
feral, just terrified. Give her time, and try tasty stuff (like the
fried chicken - great idea). Talk to her soothingly.

Oh, she also hasn't eaten since she got
here. I have tried her regular food (they brought the remains of a bag
over), pill pockets (with no pills in them - my cats love them), freeze
dried shrimp, yucky Pounce treats, and canned food. Next I am going to
try tuna. There's no way I can syringe her, and I can't get her to a
vet without trapping her, which usually involves food. So I just have
to hope that she eats, I guess. Judging from my cats, maybe I should
try white bread - they think that is the best thing going!

If you are able to touch her ears, I
would ask the vet to prescribe benadryl to be compounded at a
compounding pharmacy into transdermal cream to rub inside her ear. My
Patches has been on this for years for anxiety. She was prescribed it
because she was pulling her fur out of her belly and back legs, and the
benadryl stopped that. But she also used to go after the other cats, and
the benadryl pretty much stopped that too. If I forget to give it to
her, it is noticeable because she goes after Lucy and sometimes even me.
With the benadryl she is pretty much fine. It does not seem to make her
groggy at all-- she is quite perky and energetic-- but just takes the
edge off I guess.
