Just a short note to those who read and didn't leave comments... the cats are doing better, there are still some bumps but no fur has flown yet. I think it will be a few more weeks before things run smoothly, and I think Mitzi may have kitty PTSD if there is such a thing. She was found in a foreclosed home over this past winter (2011) and adopted out in February. After 4 months, her new owner went into hospice and her relatives returned her to the shelter. Kitty hell? She spent about a month in the shelter before I brought her home so I am hoping it is just a need for lots of TLC and no weird cat valium or anything.
She responds well to catnip... it kind of relaxes her but when it wears off she gets really aggrevated for a few minutes till she gets her bearings. I am trying to find cat friendly herbs besides catnip for her to smell and roll around in... not sure how that will work, but I am feeling optimistic. If this lets me I will put in an image, she is a very pretty kitty, gray and white but the flash on my camera made her look like she has a brown spot on the top of her head.
