Help

Jen, please email me at without the LITTER addition.
I've been trying unsuccessfully to email you privately with some suggestions
and blasted Windows XP keeps reinserting the LITTER everytime I remove it
and so the mail keeps returning.

I'm wondering if anyone can help. Muggles has turned mean.

(snippety)

Jen.


I'm sorry I have no suggestion, Jen - I have only ever dealt with one
cat at a time, so I don't have a clue what to do. We are sending
purrs, though, to Muggles, though since Mike is a mean cat too, I am
just hoping they don't make the situation worse with a multiplication
of the meanness. :-)

It's just a thought, but maybe there should be a bit of sympathy for fuga,
could be
like when a person is ill it sometimes changes their personality, oft-times
for the worse,
he may realise what he's doing is wrong, but still be unable to help himself
perhaps it
will be a long road of loving patience I hope you succeed for everyones
sake good luck
it took four and a half months of gentle love to train my ferral kitten to
the litter tray
it was a long time but it happened [thank god] no smacking and no yelling
but he got
there Ihope fugi does, your doing all you can jp

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.
