My pint-size Calico has a private loft
I discovered an effective way to help a nervous cat maintain its mental
health while living in captivity with other cats. In theory, it's simple, you just provide it with a place only it can get to. In this case... Their Skyway includes a very narrow path, the narrow edge of a 2 x 4, going to one of three Skyway lofts. Also, there is a thin aluminum rod sticking up from the center of that 2 x 4 (1.5") edge pathway. The Calico moves past it with ease. The other cats don't even try. So that loft is all hers. It appears that she is using it to get some sound sleep. And if it's not too early to tell, seems it's doing her a world of good, mainly as a place to get away from the bully cat. But of course making that happen for each of several or more cats would be rocket science. |

Among all its other cat related uses, it can be used to help cope with a bully. Just apply it to the back of their neck and around their left leg above their paw, then up and around their neck to complete the circle. It's like putting their leg in a sling. Three-legged cats are not bullies. I usually do that at night when going to bed. It gives the other cats a nice long break from the bullying. Doesn't interfere with its eating or litter box use. The bully is a great cat to me, but it's persistently intolerably aggressive towards other cats. It would make a great pet for someone who has no other pets, or if they have a pitbull. A less restrictive method is to use some very sticky 3M heavy-duty packaging tape and just apply it to whatever part of their body, like along their back. It acts as a distraction and might keep them at bay for a while. During the daytime, that works as a temporary fix when things get out of hand. |
