Thread: Lili's fate is sealed... :-)

We only once tried to keep them separated for a while & that was when we had the two babes together but they wanted to get out of their room & the other cats all sat outside the door wanting to know who was in there & were getting more uptight by the minute so went back to our usual approach & just let them get on with it,although we were nearby if things went badly wrong we also just carried on as normal,I think very often the troubles start when the "old hands" pick up on parents getting uptight. Night time was when we did sleep them separate to allow all their own space for a few nights but with Ruby put up a pen in the cats bedroom with tray & food in & popped her in there for a while but that was only because with so many big cats I was a bit worried that they might get rough with her,it wasn't long before she was given her own feeding station with the rest. I can't say we have had it all plain sailing especially as the numbers increased but have had nothing to make us think it wouldn't work & would never not had any of them & I think if they were asked they would say they are a happy bunch with their furry mates......
There is an adaptor you can plug in called feliway which gives off pheromones that imitate mums & some people have succcess with it but the one time I tried it as daughter was returning home with her two cats one of ours went hyper & bit me,pulled the plug opened everywhere up to disperse it & all went back to being calm so doesn't always work the way it is meant too....!!!!! x
