Thanks. We have tried rescue remedy (as well as other Bach Flower remedies – mixing and matching). We have consulted with a homeopathic vet about the stress. We’ve even taken him to an “animal communicator” (pet psychic!) in San Diego. My husband is still shaking his head…the funny thing is, she DID tell us things that she could not have guessed on her own. And that was interesting.
One complaint: there is no “view” in our new place. Our home in Virginia backed up to woods with lots of chipmunks, squirrels, rats and birds. All the cats sat by the French doors for hours to watch “cat TV”.
Here in Temecula, they can look at the pool. Not much going on in the palm trees. My husband put up bird feeders in the front and the back to give them something to watch. While this has made everyone a bit happier, it also attracts the cats to our property (free lunch, unfortunately).
I’ve also tried a pheromone plug-in called Feliway that is supposed to help. So far, that has not made an impact. We’ve tried almost every rug cleaner there is. The pet psychic also told us that our cat was complaining of a “funny” smell in the carpet. It is brand new carpet, so who knows.
Another vet has suggested that I try kitty antidepresant medication and kitty valium. The only thing I havent tried is acupuncture.
I wish my neighbors would simply keep their cats in at night. It would save me some money and keep things a bit calmer!
