I hope one day you come home and find everyone sleeping together in a square of sunlight by their favorite window.{{{Hoover}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-422001 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:20:58 +0000 corzak 422001@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ha Ha, I think Hoover thoroughly enjoys being naughty!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-421922 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:00:43 +0000 2bpurring 421922@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just wonderful that he is home with you!!

Hope you kitties play together soon!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-421896 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:08:32 +0000 Jadete in TN 421896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, its been a few days and things are settling down. Everyone is getting along, but I do hear a growl every once in a while. I put a brand new collar on Hoover and it only took him 5 days to get it off. I guess he likes running around "nekked". I call him "Nekked Boy". </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-421884 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:34:48 +0000 AV 421884@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>hmmmm.....that does seem expensive for wipies, considering you get 500 baby wipes for about $5.00........ I do, however, swear by the "plug ins"..... I really credit them with "calming" Cuddles down - we've not had and "incidents" since I started using those!........ </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-421881 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:28:37 +0000 Lily 421881@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I never found Feliway to be the least bit useful. It is expensive too. I wouldn't recommend it but, am I right in thinking that some of you have had success with it?</p> <p>As far as wiping Hoover with mama's scent, that isn't a bad idea but I wonder if it wouldn't work to rub him down with the other cat's scent? I mean, if they sleep regularly on a towel or some such and Hoover smelled like them, that might work even better. Particularly, if they remember who it is who takes them to the vet and got them nipped in the bud .... I'm just sayin'. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-421864 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:10:09 +0000 eleniki 421864@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I do not know how I missed this news!!! Hoover is home????!!!!!!! Jeez, you go away for a few days and miss the most important stuff!! I am THRILLED for you Jadete! After all you've been through - you must be a happy happy girl! And Feral, congratulations on another victory for the lucky trap! I was actually wondering about Hoover, and searched back through the threads to check the news before posting an enquiry about him! YAAAAAYY!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-419253 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:26:26 +0000 Siobhan 419253@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This may sound gross...but if you have stinky laundry (bra or panties) I'd rub that all over Hoover so he has your smell on him. </p> <p>Less expensive than Feliway wipes....if the dirty laundry doesn't work, then maybe try Feliway, either wipes or a house diffuser. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-419245 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:13:03 +0000 corzak 419245@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great news that Hoover's not too much worse for the wear after his 5 weeks "out on the town"! I'm sure things will get back to normal soon. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-419111 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:20:12 +0000 SoxsMom 419111@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank God he was okay! Hoover I am afraid you lost your pecking order with your siblings. It will be okay, but you have 5 weeks to make up for, so if I were you mister I would cuddle with Mom and say "Sorry!" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-419064 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:02:13 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 419064@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad Hoover is ok, and passed his vet visit. Wishing you and him a peaceful night. Watch the door!! Love Mama Lynn </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-419001 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:14:33 +0000 kittymom 419001@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jadete, wonderful news that Hoover passed inspection at the vet's!! I agree with the others here, it's his smell that is bothering the kitties; once he gets his "good old Hoover" smell back, all will be well and back to normal (pre-outside-adventures) in your house. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418971 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:10:02 +0000 feral 418971@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jadete...so glad the vet gave Hoover the thumbs up. It's amazing how just 5 wks.(it was long for you,but not long enuf for Hoover) can completely change the way a cat thinks. I really think that cats are born feral &#38; just learn,or are forced to adjust to indoors &#38; humans. When I say forced,I mean that if you put any indoor-born kitty outside,they automatically adjust to outdoors. It takes alot longer the other way around.</p> <p>I'm sure tho that Hoover will eventually be destracted enuf w/play inside to accept it again. They always think it's greener on the other side. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418941 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:06:48 +0000 Akashas Mommy 418941@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Im glad hoover is home and safe and sound with no serious issues. Just be patient Jadete you'll be fine </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418933 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:52:04 +0000 Jadete in TN 418933@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV - I just checked the Drs Foster Smith website. They have Feliway wipes on sale - you only get 5 wipes to a pack - reg $9.99 on sale for $7.49. I don't think it would be worth it do you? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418923 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:42:00 +0000 mollycat71 418923@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>((((Hoover)))) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418922 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:41:55 +0000 GreatDane 418922@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Speaking of Feliway wipes.... XBF brought me my mail the other day and I had a package I didn't recall ordering. I opened it - it was from a pet company - and I got a box of feliway wipes. The envelope was addressed to me, but I never ordered this and there was no invoice in the envelope. Weird, huh? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418917 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:39:40 +0000 katthays 418917@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>YEAH Hoover!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418916 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:37:01 +0000 AV 418916@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>.... I was interested about wipes.... on another thread (brain freeze here) ....someone talked about Feliway wipes..... that would be great!..... like GD said, wipe them all, then they will all smell the same!.....</p> <p>.... If I can find them, maybe the Feliway wipes would help Cuddles and Abby.... even after 4 yrs, Cuddles can't get within 2 feet of Abby without hissing..... do ya think she's jealous?.......DIVA! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418914 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:35:41 +0000 cricketsmama 418914@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad he is okay. I am sure once the outside and the vet smells disappear things will be back to normal. It's nice that he comes to Momma for some love. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418909 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:31:15 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 418909@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I would wipe him with something of yours that you have worn and has your smell on it. Glad he is none the worse for wear---seems YOU took the brunt of it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418908 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:30:02 +0000 rainingwolf 418908@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Hoover-feeling ostracized? Bet he will soon be accepted again, as soon as the nasty vet smell is gone and all those strange outside aromas. Has Truman begun to come around? You said they were both in the cat tree the other day? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418906 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:28:57 +0000 GreatDane 418906@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So glad he's alright!</p> <p>I was going to mention the smell, like PM just did. Maybe get some kitty bath wipes and wipe all the cats down so they smell alike. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418905 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:28:23 +0000 Karenopa 418905@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Happy to hear that Hoover's outdoor excursion didn't get him into any serious trouble. Time for mom to sit down with a glass of wine and relax. Whew! What an ordeal, eh? I'm sure the cats will all settle down but maybe a good dose of feliway could be helpful in calming all them down some. =) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418904 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:27:00 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 418904@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Once he smells thoroughly of you again the others will go back to being nice. They are hissy mostly because he smells different. Of course, he smells of the vet too now ..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418903 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:26:53 +0000 Kilroy 418903@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww, hang in there, Hoover (and mamma). We're so glad you're home, you silly boy. I'm glad he checked out OK at the vet, Jadete. I think the rest of it's just going to take time.</p> <p>{{{Hoover}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19268#post-418897 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:23:56 +0000 Jadete in TN 418897@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We just got back from the Vet, and he is doing fine. She gave him the once-over, put some flea med on him and de-wormed him. Also gave him some antibiotics for his scratches. She said he is in really good shape for being gone 5 weeks! As soon as I let him out of the carrier, ZOOM back upstairs and under the bed. BTW, the other cats aren't treating him too nice, still growling and hissing. So he comes to me for petting and reassurance (a good thing!) Hopefully in the next few days things will settle down. </p>
