as far as Jack the cat I have tried multiple remedies to get him around that stressful corner. He is on antidepressants, he is on anti anxiety meds, he has been given accupuncture, and cat massage and so on. This far nothing has worked, and he remained a stressed out mess. He was quickly headed towards another flare of this awful disease when I spoke to yet another vet. This vet reccomended a feline hormone spray that can be purchased commercially called Feliway. Skeptical and upset that even more of my money is chasing down the drain, now I need to buy him his own cat spray? Purchased the stuff online and even used over night shipping. LOADS of money for that trip. I sprayed a simple new toy with the stuff. (so it wouldnt have any old smells on it) and let it dry and then laid it in his bed. 3 minutes later...he was sound asleep and purring! WTF is in this stuff?! He was calm the rest of the afternoon, and even slept thru the night! He has stretched, and played with toys long since forgotten. Im simply amazed! feliway.com if you want to know about this product.

Im telling you this is a new cat! its like someone snuck in my house and told him the secret to life. He is still nervous and worried that I am about to medicate him (he HATES that) but he is sunning himself, napping, and playing with his sister!

Why did I not know about this stuff?! It can be gotten much more cheaply on Amazon.com or fostersandsmith website has free shipping if you go over $49. AMAZING!

There is a cute short video at Feliway.com to show how the stuff works. Simply wild!
