Ps. He is not scared of normal rotating fans and neither of the other two are even remotely nervous of the ceiling fan.

...we installed a ceiling fan. Cal stayed through guests, the drill, everything yesterday. Ate in the carrier again (open). We turned the fan on, he casually left the room a bit later and then when he went to come back in, he realized it was moving and is terrified of it. So now we are...

Nobel had deferred aggression at me once and it was from a neighbour's cat coming to our yard. I also had a hospital trip and antibiotics. We worked on his anxiety, and with the neighbours in keeping the cat out of our backyard and he never did this again.

Caspers Human covered it. I'll just add that even if she is pregnant again, her spay will be able to move forward.

Some cats work hyperthyroidism have normal T4 levels (what the blood work tests for). There are some other tests for hyperthyroidism. Thyroid Hormone Testing in Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals The behaviour changes really do point to medical and not behavioural. Big change in personality and...

You can try some music and some feliway, but making him a cozy hideaway and talking softly might be best. We've actually had some tornadoes here. Magnus is a bit nervous of storms. We try to tell him in advance if we know there will be one. We also go down to the basement and hang out there...

This works for me as well. To add, at first I could only do one or two toes per session with each of my cats.

Lactose free if you can!

How wonderful!

Thanks! I think the bigger one was really what we needed to be able to get him in. He's a large 🐈

Grass seed is a potential allergen, so that could be why.

If you suspect allergies, you would need to ask the vet for allergy medicine specific to cats, and likely to start with an elimination diet which starts with a hydrolyzed protein diet from the vet as a prescription . I put the instructions for talking to a vet here: Food Allergy - How to...

Hey, since the cat is already a nervous cat, i would not suggest scruffing. A hugh pitched EEEP should let her know that shes "hurt" you (or hurt you, whatever it is). How many people are where you live now? Play can help to build her confidence, but some tips and tricks will depend on...

Yes its important to be calm. Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that does not work. If you put his front feet in, he just stiffens so you cant put more of him in. We dont have a car to get him used to rides in general. Our neighbours, friends or family take us to the vet or theres one...

Well.with intros you can only go at the pace of the slowest cat. 🐱

This is good to know re gabapentin. Cal really does quite well at the appointment. Not Magnus well who is exploring the room and loving up to everyone...but Magnus is a rare cat lol.

It's hard but try to take each moment as it is. One step at a time. You have a safe home for cats. So nothing will traumatize her. Use gentle words. She might get scared, but you have a nervous cat, so you'll handle it. You're going to watch them both come out of their shells and it will...

@DeesCats @neely Yes, we are going to discuss gabapentin with the vet. The vet didnt bring it up after last visit as he calmed down in the office and hes very handlable. He has travel anxiety I think. He doesn't gravitate to any closed spaces. Even if hes scared of a maintence person, he goes...

Got a 24 by 16 inch carrier today with a top door. We have 2.5 weeks to get Cal comfortable in it and hopefully get him INTO it before the vet. We've been taking him with a harness and leash but the vet is on a busy road and I worry. Calcifer is strong as heck and I was used to Nobel's 17...

Ita a good idea to check in with a vet if this is new. Some medical issues cause constipation and poop stuck to the bum is frequently a sign of unheslthy poops!
