There is hope for resolution of kitty conflicts. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/decoding-your-pet/201502/resolving-social-conflict-between-familiar-cats<br /><br />This year a new phase of this study is assessing a similar, but different, test article and this study includes two diffusers for 3 months.<br /><br />Quarrelling kitties. Some don’t get along with housemate cats. Theresa DePorter is a veterinary behaviorist searching for solutions for feline aggression by conducting a clinical trial on “Improvement of Aggression between Housemate Cats” using pheromone formulations. Please see the study flyer or on the behavior page at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services (www.ovrs.com). Enrollment meetings will be held at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services in SE Michigan between January and April 2015. This study is limited to 70 households. Three months treatment. No drugs, no placebo. New pheromone blend, new diffuser. <br /><br />Please share. We need more research for kitties!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067358713432746150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-70464368089557806622014-07-14T12:51:04.018-04:002014-07-14T12:51:04.018-04:00Semiochemical messages of fear or peace?

What if we could speak cat? What if we could write a “cat message” in cat language and send it to the cats and change their behavior?<br /><br />Cats communicate fear and distress signals and leave these messages in the environment which likely perpetuates the feline hostilities. Cats naturally are socially independent and lack the inherent skills to reconcile once hostilities have tainted feline friendships.<br /><br />Since March, 2014 over 100 households have participated in a clinical trial on “Improvement of Aggression Between Housemate Cats” which will assess the effectiveness of a pheromone message being utilized to promote amicable interactions. The enrollment phase will close on July 29th. <br /><br />The final enrollment opportunities: <br />July 22nd Ann Arbor Animal Hospital – Ann Arbor, MI 2pm or 6pm <br />July 29th Oakland Veterinary Referral Services - Bloomfield Hills, MI 2pm or 6pm <br /><br />Volunteers only attend one meeting and they must be prequalified. Interested volunteers should contacting Theresa DePorter by email TheresaDVM@aol.com or call Oakland Veterinary Referral Services at 248-334-6877. Please share the study flyer (www.OVRS.com).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.chicagonow.com/steve-dales-pet-world/2014/06/jimmy-carter-of-cats-makes-peace/<br /><br />http://wgnradio.com/2014/06/29/dr-theresa-deporter-the-jimmy-carter-of-the-cat-world/<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067358713432746150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-9376814350218896442014-04-22T10:49:25.309-04:002014-04-22T10:49:25.309-04:00Thank you for all the kind words!

I am very fortunate that all of my cats get along with each other. Sometimes there are as many as five inside at one time when one of my formerly ferals comes inside to play, he has never been aggressive with the indoor cats. They are all well behaved when I bring home fosters too. Egads, am I that lucky or are the cats keeping secrets. MOL!
