Pics or it didn't happen

I know! Can you believe her previous owners ditched her at the animal shelter? The caretaker at the animal shelter was talking about a Feliway for one of the other cats. Nika is good though! She was just relaxing on a chair :) She has some toys, but for now she's just carefully exploring the living room and taking it easy.

If that's all it takes to have a committee against your species sign me up for CCH, Comité Contre les Humanité :D And until such a group exists I'll join the itty bitty kitty committee[^] :D

I was surprised at the difference it made to Dij. He eats better, is more comfortable around his own house, and generally happier. Apparently it just mimics the pheromones they normally rub onto everything, so they think the whole house is their territory and relax. Supposed to be good for "new places" as well, but I haven't tried that. Looking at your floor, I do hope you have a scratching post! :laugh:

I misread the third word of that name... :-O

I might still try one of those Feliways then! :)

That's PVC, pretty strong stuff! I actually ordered a scratching post, and it's supposed to be delivered, but it isn't. So I'll have a call about that today...

I am so happy for Nika to find a better home. I really hope your curtains don't fall easily :) You made really good choice of adopting a cat from a shelter and not buying one. You made my day. About her shyness. Don't worry in no time she will be the tiny, cute, furry ruler of your home:)

What, were you afraid the internet at large wouldn't be able to handle one more cat picture?

Feliway works on some cats but the real power of it is relaxing the human through the power a placebo. If you think it is working, then you are more calm and relaxed, the cat can read your behavior and will be more calm and relaxed. Not saying it is total voodoo, just not magical either. Ref: The wife was a vet-tech for a number of years. If you can keep the human calm, it rubs off on the cat. Also, if you just picked her up, give her some time to get comfortable in her surroundings. She will have to make the space hers, claim some territory and so on. One of our boys was a rescue, came from a hoarder situation and is still skittish after a few years. He is doing better but has days where he will run for cover when a big truck rolls past the house. The same truck that rolled past the day before and he sat at the window watching it.

I prefer to misread the third word of that name. :-\

She was still expensive enough! :laugh: I could've gotten kittens for free. Of course Nika is sterilized, vaccinated and all that, so it's worth it :)

There's always the drop that spills the bucket. I'd hate to be that drop :) I know some people here really hate Facebook, so... ;)

Apparently (according to other threads) some people hate cats even more.

You could... uhhh... maybe perhaps... use your CP file upload space for that... if you wanted.

Sander Rossel

Yeah, but only the stupid people ;p

Thought about that. But I already uploaded them to Facebook anyway :)
