Fuga was mounting and trying to mate Java 20 times a day. I went in and I
spoke to the vet about what options were available. She told me that we
needed to separate Fuga and Java and slowly re-introduce them. We kept

them
separate for about 4 days. Java started getting depressed and thought

that
she was being punished so we stopped.

Basically we kept rotating the room she was in and would keep her away

from
fuga, so sometimes she was locked in the office and sometimes she had

access
to the whole apartment.

Eventually fuga's behaviour stopped and anytime it started we isolated him
for about 15 min to 1 hour. Now he only goes after Java about once a
week..

My vet told us that as soon as a problem behaviour arises you have to do
something about it quickly.. otherwise it become more difficult to break.
Good luck.. I will keep my fingers crossed that Muggles settles down
quickly. I hope he's not suffering too much from megacolon.


Yeah, I think that this is what we'll have to do. It's no big deal really,
because Kid stays with us most of the day as it is, and when we sleep the
boy cats go to the catroom anyway (where they're perfectly happy beacuse
they always get fed when they're in there) - and she runs around the place
like a madwoman. So the "other times" aren't all that much time at all. I
really don't think he's trying to hump her again like he used to. Dunno.

Doesn't look like he has a chronic megacolon. We weaned him off the
Lactulose when he started getting regular "movements", and he's been
absolutely fine. Hopefully that'll continue. I figure he must have eaten
something he shouldn't have that bunged him up big time. But the pipes clear
just fine nowadays and he's having a blast causing mayhem for Kid.
