Dear Anne,
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of your sweet Jimi Too Cool. He
couldn't have wished for a better mom, that's for sure. He was one smart
cat, picking you out at the bank all those years ago. Thanks for sharing
with us in the midst of your tears the story of how you met. I love your
Anne, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet boy Jimi
Too Cool. It sounds like he was full of personality.
I know it must be so hard for you. It is nice that
you can remember all the happiness and laughter he
brought into your life. Your in my prayers.
Cindy

Hi guys,
I took in an owner surrendered cat last night. Most of my rescue friends
love taking in owner surrendered cats because they generally have at least
some medical history. I got this cat in, and she is *extremely
aggressive*. She acts completely feral. I'm not able to get within a
There are others here who probably have much more useful info for you,
but from hanging out on the feral_cats list, sounds to me like you may
have to treat her exactly like a feral -- cage and (re)socialize. It
can be done, just a case of baby steps, going slow, winning trust,
patience patience
*I agree with Diane... but you might also try Feliway or Comfortzone in the
bathroom with her. I have had success with both of those products. You can
also try Rescue Remedy in her water. We take in feral cats, and my advice
would be to go in the bathroom with her... sit on the floor (get down
I will try, but she's not in the floor. She's in the sink, and ferociously
defending her new territory. I had to brush my teeth at the bathroom sink:)

I use Feliway spray and Rescue Remedy with the ferals I have worked with. They
work wonders on distraught cats of any kind. Spray the room she is in with the
Feliway and maybe some concentrated catnip and put RR in her water (you may
want to take some too). Remember the cat is very confused
New thought: Leave a piece of your clothing (old please) where she can get
used to the smell. A well used wash cloth or towel would work.
If you have men who will

I definitely recommend the feliway, rescue remedy and giving her a place to
hide where she will feel safe. I've had some success in the past giving a
very agressive cat 1/2 of a 25mg benedryl...my vet at the time told me to do
that. Wasn't easy getting it down her but it did a lot to calm her
I haven't had any experience with an aggressive cat
but I think it is so wonderful that you took her.
Maybe her aggression is from being scared and in a new
place. Poor baby. I am sure she is probably scared
when she has been taken to the vet so maybe that is
why their paperwork says she is

Welcome to the world of Owner Surrenders! What one says is certainly usually

Her story is the dreaded moving in with the allergic boyfriend one. She
didn't even bring her over - a friend of hers did. So Charlotte was clearly
tame enough for the friend to get into a carrier (which is more than I could
do at this point). Charlotte didn't go ballistic until she saw
In the area of eye contact, I learned this on feral_cats: the slow
blink. Like narrowed eyes, this is a sign of friendship if you can do
it with some subtlety. Blink very slowly, make very brief eye contact,
blink again and this time look slightly away from her, blink again and
make brief eye
Poor Charlotte. Her exmommy should have insisted on Claritin

Poor thing, her name is Caroline. I was thinking of Charlottes web...
She had two cats, but found a home for the other. So Caroline is in a
strange place, without her kitty friend.

I wouldn't take it too personally. She probably knew the friend already,
where you are a total stranger. Up til now, her entire life experience with
strangers has likely been limited to vets and vet techs, none of which do
anything even remotely nice to her (in her opinion). She probably knows she
HI Michelle,
You could be right. I went to the archives and I see your name a lot
regarding lymphomas. I have one more FELV pos cat. The thing with Tiny is
that he did not have any symptoms that alarmed me. I know the vet had
examined both cats a few weeks before this. Junior had a URI at

Kitty Katt knew me most of her life. She had decided to live with my parents
after a few months of living feral. Unfortunately I was the one who took her
to the vet's, cut her nails etc. But she knew me and liked me
Hello, I noticed today that Tsunade has a strange bald spot on her back, in
between her shoulders. i suppose she could have scratched it or rubbed up
against something. Any thoughts on this, should I be worried?? She does not
have fleas, I doubt it would be mites, it is cold 30-60 degrees F
Oh.h.h. yeaa - sounds very familiar. I'd give her some time to
herself for a few days, and see how she reacts to a little tasty
canned food after that. I've had the NICEST cats start out quite
aggressive, because they didn't like the new and different
surroundings, don't like
It's my belief that one single vaccination provides immunity for life.
However, I am in the minority there. That being said, none of my cats have
contracted any contagious viruses or diseases either.
The interferon certainly would not hurt the eye, but I'm not sure if it
would help either. I've
Have you ever used any top-spot flea drops on her at that location? Has
she had any vaccines, shots, or microchips at that location? It's probably
nothing, but ofcourse, once you rule out a reaction to either a chemical or
trauma from a cut, poke or abrasion, that leaves the possibility of
