Dear furry and human friends,today I want to tell you about Luzie. She is not really content. She prefers to sleep outside, ok that is normal for Luzie...the former stray cat. When she comes in she hisses in all directions if there are other cats or not. She only comes in for food and sometimes she sleeps near me on the sofa when I´m blogging.
We had been at the vet for a check if she is ill. But she is not ill. The vet says she is stressed .
Last week I found this necklace and thought that will be the solution for her problems. The name means anti fustration . Feeling well necklace translated in english. The necklace was very expensive. It has a sweet but obtrusive smell . Luzie let me put it on her neck and wear it......it seems she like it...but than...
...she wore it for 3 days and got a bad cough. The cough sounds asthmatic. We removed the necklace and the cough dissapeared immediately...I should better throw my money through the window next time but I thought the experience was it worth. Possibly it works or not.
Luzie became another cat when we brought her babies to there new foreverhomes. It is 4 years ago. Since this time she let no other cat stay near her. We thought it was a good idea to have a new baby cat and kept Luna ....but they never became friends.Maybe Luzie would love to be a only one cat in the family....
We don´t want to see her stressed every day ...we want to help her.....maybe it is a solution to find a new family...maybe we let her like she is....being herself..... this is Luzie-our cat
*Happy Tuesday*

Das hört sich nach einer blöden Zwickmühle an. Ihr möchtet das Beste für Luzie und denkt darüber nach, ob das Beste für sie wäre, woanders zu leben. Ich denke es ist wirklich wichtig, zu klären, ob sie nicht doch krank ist. Vielleicht ein Blutbild machen lassen? Und dann könnte es sein, dass die Katzenbesucher, also die Katzen die nicht wirklich bei euch wohnen, sie sehr stressen. Ich habe demletzt ein Buch von Vicky Halls gelesen, da kam ein solcher Fall vor. Natürlich weiß ich nicht, wie das bei Euch ist, ich wollte es nur erwähnen. Es gibt auch diese Feliwayprodukte, als Diffuser und als Spray und mit Bachblüten haben manche auch gute Erfahrung gemacht. Ich hoffe, Luzie fühlt sich bald wieder wohl, so dass Ihr euch keine Sorgen mehr machen müsst. Das ist das Schlimmste, wenn man nicht weiß WAS falsch läuft und deswegen auch nicht weiß, was man ändern kann. Ich denke an Euch!
Viele Grüße!
Poor Luzie! She does look a little depressed. Looks like Britta told you about the cat diffuser. That may work and you wouldn't have a collar to worry about.
We'll purr for her!
Poor Luzie is probably allergic to the collar.
We're sorry to hear that Luzie is stressed out. Too bad the collar gave her a cough! We agree about the diffusers!
Hmmm Luzie what's giving you stress? Are you not in the mood lately? Well, maybe there are also cats days, I can see that in Muning, feeling tired and stressed, maybe because of his age. Oh well, I hope Luzie will get be fine soon.
We have two cats like Luzie, Indigo and Amber...and maybe Munchkin too. Is it a coincidence they are female? Hmmm...
Anyway, the solution to Indigo's stress was to let her live upstairs sharing bedrooms with the 3 kids. None of the rest of the gang bothers her up there.
Amber just let it be known that she prefers to be *left alone* by cats and humans!
Munchkin is getting acclimated but asserts herself by hissing and striking out at the others if they come to close. She likes to be petted and to sleep with my hubby & me.
I think each of the three would prefer to be an only cat but ... they've adjusted. :)
Sorry it didn't work out with Luzie's necklace--sounds like a good idea!
that was nice of you to try and find a stress reducer.
Now I know to stay clear of stinky cat necklaces.
Aw, poor Luzie. Our Smokey went through a time like that, he hissed and bit and we thought we might have to give him up as well. We made it through and now just try and keep him from other cats as much as possible and give him little treats for attention. Sorry the collar didn't work, you are such a good cat mom to try and help. :)
Oh poor Luzie! We hope she cheers up soon! We don't like seeing sad kitties. It would be wonderful if she starts to warm up to effuryone else.
I hope Luzie feel better soon =/
We are sorry to hear that Luzie is not happy. Have you tried a Feliway Diffuser, or even giving her some Bach Flower "Rescue Remedy"?
We hope you can find a good solution!
Luzie might be stressed by a new
cat in her outdoors territory since she is outdoors a lot. She may feel threatened by another cat, quite possibly a unneutered male hence the hissing,hiding behavior and not wanting to be by other cats. You
are a great Katzen Mom for worrying.
I hope Luzie feels better soon! :)
Poor Luzie! We hope she becomes a happy cat soon. We hope our mama never gets that necklace for us. We don't like to cough.
We send extra hugs and purrs to Luzie.
From your friends at Boo-Bahs Little Sunshines
poor Luzie. Hope she feels less stressed soon
That's too bad that Luzie is sad. But she is probalby most comfortable with what is most familiar. You are sweet to let her be herself. That's all any of us can be.
mew,
Katie
(Glogirly's cat)
I think maybe Luzie just wants to be herself. I hope the diffuser works and that harmony is restored.. Hugs GJ xx
Liebe Stefanie, Du bist wirklich tierlieb. Du würdest Luzie woanders hingeben, weil sie Stress bei Euch hat. Das nennt man selbstlos und eben Tierliebe.
Ich würde aber auch noch mal evtl. den Tierarzt wechseln und eine Untersuchung machen lassen. Ich hoffe, dass die Lage sich wieder bessert und auch Luzie wieder glücklich bei Euch lebt. Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich Dir/Euch ein glückliches Händchen beim Umgang mit diesem Problem.
Liebe Grüße
Birgit
I think it's the best thing to do, just let her be. A stressed cat ? that sounds so silly. My Lisa hisses at everybody too, it's a kind of sport I guess. Anyway, all females are hissers (if this word exists) only Arthur is cool !

Dear Luzie, have been a bit moody lately? Oh, I hope your parents will find out soon what is bothering you and then everything will be back in the right place...
purrs and love
Luna
Poor Luzie. Hope things get better.

Liebe Stefanie,
die arme Luzie! Wir hoffen doch sehr, daß es ihr bald wieder besser geht und wir werden ihr bald etwas schicken. Vielleicht hilft ihr das ja. Wir wünschen Euch von Herzen, daß sie bei Euch bleibt und es ihr bald wieder gut geht.
Liebe Grüße von Anja mit Nelly
Thank you, dear friends, for all your kind and helpful comment to Luzie.
We´ll try everything to let her feel better soon.
She had this afternoon a walk with me and the dog and I thought she enjoyed it !
I hope Luzie will be doing ok!!!
What a sweet story. My jane was a stray the first year of her life and although she can be affectionate, it's rare. She loves to roam outside too. Maybe some cats are just not cuddly. We're glad Luzie's cough cleared up!
oh dear friend,
Luzie is so cute,I think she is not a stressed cat.
I need to say that reading this post with mommy Léia by my side now, immediately we remembered about my sister Marina ( teenager ) she only want to be inside her room and so on...Mommy said she is thinking about her life! LOL
Let Luzie take her time as well!
Everything will be okay soon!
purrs and love
Luna
Aww, sounds like Luzie is depressed. It wouldn't surprise me that cats can experience that as well, especially after stressful or traumatic events. Hope she feels better.
Feliway works somewhat. But pricey though.
Aww! I hate to hear that Luzie is stressed. I think she was probably allergic to the collar too.
I know Sassie likes to be an only cat. She ignores Peeve and pretends he is not here.
I am sorry that Luzie is stressed out. Sometimes things just take a long time to get settled and comfy. Maybe soon that will happen. I am glad you took that mean collar off and her started feeling better.
OMG
stress oops........
And than for a ourdoorcat
i mean cats inside have more stress
i thought always !!!
I hope its going better now :-)
((HUGS)) from us
Kareltje & Anya
yes, Feliway works great!!!
We have it here and use it when there is stress.
Over the holidays and change in weather or routine. It is helpful.
I hope she gets happy soon.
I hope you are all well in Deutschland and having a good time getting the Christmas reparations started!
love and purr always
