Re: [Felvtalk] Bedwetting cat solution
I put a break away collar on Mi Tu. She got her paw hung in it. It did not break away and, had I not been close by, she would have strangled herself fighting to free herself. I don't put collars on cats any more. On Nov 5, 2012, at 8:36 PM, Marcia wrote: The Sentry calming collars work very well. That have the same pheromones as the feliway.

Sometimes I think I prefer the odor of cat pee to those awful "perfumes" they dump into deodorizers. When you use the enzyme type deodorizer, you have to make sure the spot stays wet for at least 24 hours. If it dries out, by-by little beneficial bacteria and the enzyme doesn't work. You can Google cat urine neutralizer or deodorizer and see what you come up with. There are many brands and many prices.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ozzy and Miss Kitty
It IS about Harley. Since he wants to be outside, he could be if he had a nice escape proof enclosure so the wood creatures, both nasty and nice can't get to him nor he to them and he and some of his house mates can still enjoy the "great outdoors" without jeopardizing their lives or your sanity. Harley sounds like my Romeo who managed in one year, at my former home to vanish completely for two weeks, return, vanish again and return with a broken front leg. That was it for me. At the new place, which is in the middle of woods somewhere in Texas he now has an enclosure with access to a large shed, complete with donated air conditioner (it's hot here about 9 months of the year) and his 8 companion problem and non-problem cats. Romeo was always an inside cat, always a spritzer and always a problem because he used to like to pick fights with everyone, even girl cats. Now he's a mellow fellow and stops to smell the roses (actually weeds, no roses available). I'm forwarding some pictures my friend took of my cat sanctuary. It cost me about $700 but it's very large, originally housed 14 cats. Three passed away and 2 went back up the hill (steep driveway) to my cat room.

My problem is that in the last month or so Harley insists on being outside all day, 24/7. He is acting more like a feral and when I refuse to let him out he waits until I am looking and then sprays, usually within 3 or 4 feet of me. I can see it on his face, "I said I want out! Let me out or I will spray everything in site, not to mention pace the floor, deliberatly knock theings down." I have never seen this problem on "My Cat From Hell". Usually bad behavior comes from trauma in their past. He has alsways had a loving home with people. Where does this come from? He is also super active, like a Savannah, jumps >___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Hi Everyone. I am happy to say that all the cats in the Farmingdale colony are
okay from the storm. We are inland and they are in farmland area so not many

-i THINK i WILL HAVE TO DO THAT! Had 20 acres logged this year and think I am going to have to spedn all my earnings on Harley. Right now, he is coming in and jumping on the desk, then off, then on, than off. He either wants out, attention or food. Can't go out because it is 42, raining and windy. Don't want a big vet bill and have to give him meds. He is not a good patient! Maybe I will take a nap. Especially if I turn on the electric blanket. Then he will quiet down. It is only when I am up and home that he does this. When I am gone, nothing happens. It cannot be that he wants to be held and loved, he only tolerates that mushy stuff for a minute or two, then wants down. --- Lee Evans wrote: > Can you enclose with wire mesh a back porch or have someone construct an outside cat escape-safe enclosure?

Re: [Felvtalk] Ozzy and Miss Kitty
While we are on this subject, my Harley is my problem. He was born on his owner's lap and has never been outside before I got him at 3 months. He goes out for 2 or 3 hours during the day. He and the others go down on the ground to do their thing and then most come back on the deck to lounge in the sunshine. My problem is that in the last month or so Harley insists on being outside all day, 24/7. He is acting more like a feral and when I refuse to let him out he waits until I am looking and then sprays, usually within 3 or 4 feet of me. I can see it on his face, "I said I want out! Let me out or I will spray everything in site, not to mention pace the floor, deliberatly knock theings down." I have never seen this problem on "My Cat From Hell". Usually bad behavior comes from trauma in their past. He has alsways had a loving home with people. Where does this come from? He is also super active, like a Savannah, jumps so high he hts his head on the ceiling when chasing a moth or fly. katskat1 wrote: > Lee, > > I don't think Oz is going to end up being a sprayer but we will have > to wait and see how he handles it once he come out of solitude and, > hopefully, begins interacting with the other cats.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ozzy and Miss Kitty
Lee, I don't think Oz is going to end up being a sprayer but we will have to wait and see how he handles it once he come out of solitude and, hopefully, begins interacting with the other cats. I suspect he may end up being a loner but that remains to be seen. As for clean up with mop and pail, my problem is the carpeting in the bedrooms. I have laminate flooring in the kitchen/lr/dr but carpet in the bedroom which is, of course where he sprayed his smelly tomcat marker. Right on the doorframe between the master bath and bedroom. I found that a mixture of about 50/50 white vinegar and water seems to neutralize the odor so it isn't tempting for the other cats. As for Polar Bear, he doesn't see cats as snacks, he sees them as another version of a squeaky play toy that self motivates - FAST - and he loves it. The other cats are, for the most part, used to it but Oz showed no sense of humor and no desire to play the first time around. Again, time will tell. k On 11/5/12, Lee Evans wrote: > If the dog doesn't try to make Oz into a snack, the two will eventually get > used to each other and set ground rules.

[Felvtalk] Bedwetting cat solution
Went to the store that the mattress came from. They sold me a waterproof cover for $40. I got one for both of the beds in the house. The man says it works great for pet problems. I put the cover under the mattress pad. I hope it works. I put vinegar/water on the soiled spot and it dried quickly with the ceiling fan on high. We have a recently adopted cat and there are some battles going on in the house. I might try the feliway diffuser. Oh, also I wanted to add that my couch is covered with carpet protector that is held onto the couch with upholstery Twist Pins. On top of that are two slipcovers. That's how I have my couch protected. It's pretty comfy. Who was that on this board who said to let the cats have the house and the humans can live in the closets? ha ha ha On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 12:44 PM, Lee Evans wrote: > > For the summer, you can get either the disposable large size pads or the > adult mattress pads that are sold at medical supply shops for adults with > bladder incontinence.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ozzy and Miss Kitty
If the dog doesn't try to make Oz into a snack, the two will eventually get used to each other and set ground rules. As for Oz and spraying, it's sometimes the neighborhood fighters that give up the whole thing as a bad idea once they find themselves neutered and cared for by a loving human and never spray again. Like I said in another post on this topic, the horrid odor that accompanies an intact male cat totally disappears once they are neutered and all that you are left with is a spritz of pee that can be washed off with lemon detergent or something else pleasant. Most of my enthusiastic sprayers gave it up after they realized that they were living with a family of rescued cats, no one was their enemy any more and they didn't have to set territorial boundaries. Now they stick to having a hissy fit occasionally, maybe a face slapping contest but I haven't had a real battle or full wall spray job in over two years. My problem here is that lots of the cats "think" outside of the box. This is an issue that calls for a plastic paint scraper to pick up the offering and a bucket lined with a plastic bag to drop it in. After everything is cleaned up, it's mop and pail time and the house is back to normal until the next day. Sigh. For this I needed a college degree.

Re: [Felvtalk] Kitten Sitting & cat wet the bed
Just an FYI, just about any waterproof mattress cover you get will involve plastic/rubberized plastic in order to be - waterproof. You will find it reflects your body heat which is great in the winter but can sometimes be a bit warm in the summer! I even tried putting two fitted sheets on the mattress over the top of the cover. But for an Ohio winter it is as good as having an electric blanket! kat PS. Oz and Miss Kitty are doing well altho both are disinclined to leave the master bath. Oz tried it once and freaked out when one of my dogs, Polar Bear, wanted to chase and play like he does with my other cats. Of course, Polar Bear is about 75# with a mass of long white fur (kindof like a white chow chow) so that could have been part of it. Had to wrap Oz in a sweatshirt and take him hissing and howling back to the bathroom! k On 11/5/12, MaiMaiPG wrote: > There are lots of good waterproof mattress pads.

I have another problem that I need help with. One of my cats peed on the bed yesterday, urine down to the matress. I need some odor spray recommendations. Also, does anybody recommend some kind of waterproof mattress pad cover? On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 10:47 PM, Lee Evans wrote: > Were they dewormed?
