My vet is recommending a low dose of Valume for the kitties. I explained that I
didn't want them "drugged" or "completely out of it" but if they had visions of
mice in their heads, that's fine. ha ha. Anyone had any experiece with Valume?
Thanks!!! :)

Wendy is correct, just make sure kitties have somewhere to hide (maybe your
bedroom?) and that you visit w/them
a lot to pet them, reassure them & tell them that you love them.

Angela,
Im not Susan, but I agree that you should help the kitties stay stress-free
(and yourself!). I know that a few of mine would be terrified and severely
stressed out with that many people in the house.
Ive tried Feliwaythey make a plug in. That may work for you. Ive had no
measurable results but others have. You can purchase these at places like Petco.
Rescue Remedya spray or a dropis sold in the human headache section of
places like Walgreens. This has also worked for others on the list, but alas,
not for me.
Last, you could get a prescription for fluoxetine which my Bandit takes (hes
now off of it though) for anxiety. It is a miracle drug in my opinion. When I
had my FeLV foster cat staying in the home office by himself, he was very sad.
I gave him Bandits fluoxetine (Prozac), and the kitty was no longer anxious
although he was not dopey or drugged appearing in any way.
Id also make sure that access to hiding places was available, and Id move
their food to a quiet place where they can eat in peace, if possible.
Good luck!
Melissa

Susan,
You helped me thru a hard time with Midnight aka Boy about a week and a
half ago when he was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia and PTS. I have a
question.... Boy's Leukemia showed it's ugly face because of our move to the
new house (stress on him). Although I have had Sherman and Ripley tested for
this nasty disease, (thanks to God they were negative!!!!!), I am concerned
that if they get stressed out, this will become an issue again. I am scared to
pieces to let them feel any anxiety or stress.
My point is that we have family that will be staying with us next
week, about 16 people. To say the least, this will be a huge change for the
kitties since they are use to just two of us being in the house. Is there
anything I can give the cats to calm them durring this time? (Family will be
here for four days) I'm paranoid that the slightest stress will make them ill
(Feline Leukemia will show it's ugly face again). I know they were tested,
negative, but so was Boy when he was a kitten! We had no idea that he even had
Leukemia until we moved. Please advise if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!
Ang
