I have had some wonderful ferals but they are not house cats as we normally think about them. They are very self sufficient and, when they decide to give you any sign of affection, much less kitten kisses or purrs, you know it is genuine. 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. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

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.

Re: Birds, also, feliway....and Rescue Remedy
Hey Laurie - I use rescue remedy too -- good stuff. For some of my kitties - it's like liquid valium. Others - it doesn't even phase them. It's amazing stuff though - I wouldn't ever want to be without it... http://www.preciouspets.org/newsletters/articles/bach.htm I can tell you truly though -- I never would have believed it worked if I hadn't seen the results for myself. elizabeth in alabama, phelix, lexie, shakiti, tori, antonio, tiffany, othello On 7/1/07, laurieskatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have had better luck with RR than with feliwayI have six cats.

Re: Birds, also, feliway....and Rescue Remedy
got it. I've heard that using on the ear works very well. My Phelix has terrible allergies and we use a transdermal benedry whipped up by the compounding pharmacist. It helps him a lot.

RR comes in a spray too. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
