I just bought a bunch of Feliway at Revival and it's got the best
prices. Petco will set you back bigtime.
You are something, Marilyn. You do so much for little Royal Princess
Kitty Kat! My dad's cat (he passed away eight years ago) just passed
away himself, of kidney failure. He was up there in age, but still,
it was a shock, especially to my mom, to have him go, poor beautiful
long-haired black dear kitty. But he missed my dad so. He cried
every night in Dad's home office hoping he'd return and here's the
cool thing: when I moved in with my mom 1-1/2 years ago he stopped
crying. I was just enough of my dad to make him feel much better.

It has to be their idea. I have had some wonderful ferals but they

I have used Feliway and am convinced that it works get. And it has
worked with several cats. My regular vets use it in the cat area
of their clinic. I really don't believe I would ever have persuaded
the Royal Princess Kitty Katt to come out without Feliway. She
chose to move in with my parents and was my father's cat until he
left this world. Then her whole world turned on end and she became
my mother's cat (same house just a different person as 1st
person). I was the one who always caught her and clipped her
nails, gave her meds, took her to the vet's etc when I came in from
Louisville. Finally Mom decided she couldn't take care of Kitty
and that she should live with me. This was no where in Kitty's
plans and, in fact, was Kitty's version of hell. She lost her job
(taking care of Mom), lost her nice quiet house in the country with
electric heat and a stay at home person to live in the city with
forced air gas heat, a working person with very irregular hours, a
mailman who came to the door, all the different scents and
noises...........I went so far as to replace the furnace and a/c
before she came so she would not have to tolerate that. I slept on
the floor for three months working with her and trying to get her
to come out. The Feliway let her relax enough that she started
coming out when I was asleep and things worked out from there.
The price has really come down. I don't know if you have checked
lately but, compared with what I originally paid for it, it is dirt
cheap. It makes you smell like a cat and provides comfort to the
little ones.

Well, he has actually gotten much better, it kinda comes & goes......
Isn't it funny how the house ferals will run from you when you
walk towards them, but you can sneak into your bedroom and they are
asleep on your pillow, or rolling around on your dirty clothes that
you tossed on the floor?
(Yes, folks, I am a slob).......
It's like they REALLY want to be petted & loved, but it's soooo
scary......... :(
As for Feliway, I have had heard lots about it, and I know folks
who use it, but they cannot actually tell me if it works or not.
What do you think?
Does it work for you?
I have considered it, but it's pretty pricey and I always think
"heck, that's a cat spay" or whatever.
But if I knew it would work, I certainly would pony up the
money........
Let me know your thoughts, folks.......

No (that is too dear to take away) but it should help with the
skittishness. It makes you smell like a cat (or so the theory
goes). It really helped with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt
(rehomed from my Mom's). It certainly helped establish a "safe
area" with her.........not the awful smell of the terrible person
who catnapped her from her chosen person.
