Savannah kitten behavior

AWE. Poor little ones. What was Early Neurological Stimulation exactly. So how did you remedy that or reverse it.

 

[Patti]

It's a series of stimulation exercises to do on newborns. You can read more about it here: http://breedingbetterdogs.com/pdfFiles/articles/early_neurological_stimulation_en.pdf

I am going to read that! So how did everything pan out with kittens, were you able to get there you wanted emotionally

 

[Patti]

No, not with all of them. I still have two cats here after a year that are just now finally starting to not only accept but appreciate human interaction

 

[Snookie]

awe, thats difficult to hear because you did this with the best of intentions. I think cats even though they are independent strong personalities, touch and love is so important as its acceptance of love by their humans, and they give it back as well. So what do you do to help these little guys along, so they begin to have faith and trust.

Patti, have you ever heard of or used Bach Pet rescue drops by chance. This is something that a friend recommended for use with Athena. I think you put it in water, and it helps ease their anxiety. If not, is there anything you can recommend.

I have yet to find a homeopathic/naturopathic remedy that works. Sure wished there was when I was having terrible territorial aggression issues with one of my SVs. I tried several of the Bach products over the years with a couple of cats as well as calming collars and Feliway. None of them worked on any of my cats but a lot of people have reported success using them.

Yea Ive read that some people have had success with feliway, some not so much. I never heard of the Bach rescue drops till last night. I guess its a try and see how to goes situation.
