Hi My year and a half FELV pos Choe is suddenly as of last night not eating.
She seems hungry and runs to the bowl, but then just looks at it and doesn't
seem to like what's in the bowl! She seems a little growly too at the other
cats. And she keeps wanting to go outside for some reason but I won't let her
as she would not come back in last night but luckily I got her in. Strange
behavior for her. What do you all think? I am taking her to vet tonight. She
doesn't seem like she is lethargic so I am not sure running a fever. What is
the consensus? Dotty - Freehold

Yes, Feliway is really good. I thought that they would be medicated with
something not being good.
I also make sure to spray at least an hour before the cats go into their
carrier – if it’s too fresh, they hate it!
Have a safe trip!

I find that a product called At Ease or Feloway work very well when sprayed
into the carrier about a half hour before you put the cat in. Allow it the
time to dry, never spray while cat is inside. It really calms them down. I do
this when transporting to the vet. Makes a big difference between having a
panicked cat in a carrier traveling for a few miles and having a lay back cat
having a nap on the way. The worst it can do is nothing. It's not harmful and
the cats all react much the same, either calm or not as stressed out as they
would be.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

If I may offer some advice, don’t sedate! My vet hates it because you never
know how any cat may react…cats get more frightened by sedation, what’s
happening to them, than a trip. As long as their cage/carrier is covered, to
make them feel safe, there’s not much of problem. I have been transporting
cats by car and even on the plane in the cabin often, and never used sedation.
Some cats were not exactly “tame”.

Just an update. The rescue was unable to offer any assistance with the
transport in the time frame needed so they are holding off on getting 2 of the
cats there. Instead I will be transporting an FIV+ stressed out kitty on my
trek. Wish me luck that his sedatives work!
Thanks so much for the offer to help.
