She doesn't even like a collar. I'm looking into getting some cat shelves. I've also put a new calming collar on George since he seems to be the ringleader.

Most of the time she's out and around and doesn't get picked on. Its just those boys get that wild hair and go on a rampage sometimes and she gets the worst of it.Tigerpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720013238277687881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087497910997873971.post-16631319079774683842014-06-07T14:25:23.516-05:002014-06-07T14:25:23.516-05:00Would a "thunder shirt" work?

It might help Pixie be calmer and lesson the OCD since it would feel like (to her) like she was being held.

Get together with Trixie and plan a trick on them. Carrie, is there a creme or salve that will sooth her belly? I know you have been holding her and petting her and loving her so she knows you are there for her, the only other thing I can think of is asking the vet and see what she says. And I thought those boys were perfect! Hah! Boys will be boys. Or as we used to say many years ago in Latin class, "Pueri pueri erunt" or something like that.

The best thing to do for her is create spaces where she can comfortably hang out without being pestered. A lot of times this involves creating vertical space - shelves or platforms on walls, cat trees, putting cat beds up high. That is, if Pixie is the kind of cat who will gravitate to elevated surfaces (most cats are). This might work because two out of the three boys are probably a little vertically challenged and will be less likely to go after Pixie is she is on a tall surface. Think about paths and escape routes - you do not want your girl cornered by one of the other cats. Make her route to and from her safe spaces, safe. Jackson Galaxy talks a lot about this kind of thing on My Cat From Hell, his Animal Planet show.Sparklehttp://www.sparklecat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087497910997873971.post-86124386386078167162014-06-06T16:56:02.746-05:002014-06-06T16:56:02.746-05:00Poor Pixie!

Guess he has to stick with the others in chasing her. Wish I had a solution, but it sounds like you said "because they can." The cat I have now used to chase the older one that is no longer living. As soon as he walked in the door, he would start chasing him. And I always thought it was because he was younger and "could." Good luck! <br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
