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 | :laugh:

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...

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.

Do not escape reality : improve reality !

I am a proud member of the CCC (not the crossword, but the Comité Contre les Chats = the group against cats).

Cats are evil. Don't trust them. Smile | :)

If that's all it takes to have a committee against your species sign me up for CCH, Comité Contre les Humanité Big Grin | :-D

And until such a group exists I'll join the itty bitty kitty committee[^] Big Grin | :-D

So what? I'm evil as well.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I am so happy for Nika to find a better home. I really hope your curtains don't fall easily Smile | :)

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 Smile | :)

She was still expensive enough! Laugh | :laugh:

Of course Nika is sterilized, vaccinated and all that, so it's worth it Smile | :)

I looked at all the 'OTD's and 'WSO''s on the page and decided we didn't need anymore acronyms today. Big Grin | :-D

9am GMT on codeproject is a bit like the coffee-time puzzle pages you get in the paper nowadays.
