I just remembered I was going to get a Feliway diffuser for the move. They are a bit pricier than I was expecting, for that price it better be as good as it's reputed to be. I got a diffuser and a travel spray, plus she will have Gabapentin for the moving day itself.

You can find good prices online I found when I was using them a bit. Or get the spray and use it in key spots.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got it from Budget Pet Products. I was just expecting in the $20-$40 range, seeing the diffuser at the first place I looked selling for over $100 was a bit of a shock! I ended up paying about $120 for a diffuser and a spray bottle.

They say to spray it in the travel carrier, but I'm not sure how much she needs it there - now that Mr Woof's carrier has been taken away she's back to napping in her own again.

We were using the 'Friends' derivative, and yes the initial cost of the diffuser was exxy. I could find refills for around $50.

Ugh. Accidentally napped, and woke up quite late for Melbcatโ€™s meds.

Cat tmiSheโ€™s still been crying and desperately ran away after using the litterbox today so I think her uti is still causing pain. When it should be settling? Sheโ€™s constipated too.

Already been to the vet on Tuesday to try and find out what the pain is but now I think itโ€™s that.

Iโ€™ve given the extra pain relief on top of her usual and might have to just give it more routinely instead of waiting for the need. Making my alarms louder so I actually hear them.

I need to find where that Cystapro stuff is - itโ€™s bright red and tastes terrible but maybe right now it could give some relief. Iโ€™ve given her a hot water bottle to lie on while I look.

I also mixed a little Osmolax into her wet food with extra water plus pumpkin baby food and might keep that up until things improve.

Edit: That is so weird. I canโ€™t find the Cystapro capsules. I did stop using it but donโ€™t remember throwing them away
