Reply #50: Sounds like he is a survivor!:)

and owes a lot to you for rescuing him!

My smallest cat is the hardest to get into the carrier, doesn't like to be held at all, and I couldn't imagine wrestling with a 25lb furry eel. It's hard enough carrying their passive cat litter up all these stairs, lol.

There's also this stuff called "rescue remedy" that's for people and animals, an herbal concoction that comes in a spray or dropper, about $10. I've sprayed it on my hand then wiped it on my littler cat's mouth area before, then she was compelled to lick it off. Kind of works, but maybe that intro violation adds to the anxiety and I should wait a little while before trying to imprison her. Those little guys sure can be tricky to try to help, but at least he took his antibiotics, it sounds like. Being confined involuntarily is scary though, I know, poor fella.
