Wanted: well-behaved cats

[msmemory_archive]

The project for the next eight days is to keep the cats quiet. Mostly, really, it's to keep Jez from being harrassed/chased by Jedi, and keep her from trying to lick or chew her stitches. Heh. Good thing jducoeur is working from home these days!

Yeeeeaaaahhhhhh..... Good luck with that.

A couple of years ago Nishka had a benign tumor removed from her front paw. She came home from the vet with instructions to "not let her run or jump, because she could pop the stitches. I ran all over the house making little "steps" up onto the furniture. Which she looked at, sniffed at, and then jumped up and down *next to.*

On the bright side, I haven't had a cat fuss at their stitches since about 1976. When we had Nishka spayed, there were no stitches - they superglued her back together. Neat!

Oy, cats and stitches.
There is a product called "Feliway", available from large pet stores and your vet, which is a plug-in dispenser of artificial cat pheromones, the dispersal of which is said to calm cats down. It seems to work with my guys. Expensive, though.
Good luck!

A cat-loving co-worker of mine has had *excellent* success with Feliway.

well-behaved cats

Isn't that an oxymoron? *grin*

Is it That Time for the kittens, or did I miss an injury or illness?

Good luck!

They both had their Little Op on Tuesday morning :) The vet pronounces them otherwise healthy.
