Re: Ground Rules


Brilliant Matron, good to hear the little man is settling.....I found when I only had the one Siamese, he bonded with me more so than the two I have now....
Sure him and Belle will become good friends....

so true Elvis hates being left alone when he came to live with me when i moved before i went to bed and he came running upstairs crying the house down thinking id left him manged to settle him & shut the door after about a hour!

i was also going to suggust a hormone plug in thingy, Feliway! they really worked on Elvis & i have one here for Taylor and his settled in literally within a hour! i think these are reallyyyyyy good!
& also a snuggle thingy for him!

Re: Ground Rules


Good thinking with the felliway EIB . . . it calmed my nervous old boy down a treat . . . don't know why I didn't think of suggesting it!!

well 1 is ok for one room, so say the living room if that is where he spends most of his time & then where ever he sleeps? they last quite a while as well & they are even cheaper on Ebay!

Taylor is settled so im going to leave it on for a few more days then save the rest for the Fosters that i get

Re: Ground Rules


Just to bear in mind that the feliway can take about 30 days before you see improvement if you are going to. Just didn't want you to expect an overnight 'cure' Definitely worth giving it a go though
