[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 336141, member: 6705"] Cats just don't adjust well to change. Mine have moved so many times (Possum and Weasel anyway) that while they don't like it, they just deal. However - my take on the situation. [B]AFTER[/B] you have taken care of that bite. (FWIW, my cats have bitten me many times. They rarely break the skin, but when they do... Scrub out with antibacterial soap, put on antibiotic ointment and bandage. Repeat a few hours later then after that lose the bandage.) Velociraptor kitty needs something familiar. Cousin is it - which is why you cannot get kitty out. "MY MAMA!" is what you're hearing/seeing/feeling. Half a can of tuna (don't drain it), mix the sedative in it. Slide it under the TV stand or bed, wherever the cat is hiding. [I]Then ignore the cat[/I]. This will take a while. Do your thing. After a couple of hours, check the tuna. If the cat has eaten it, check the cat! Wear gloves and reach in to the hidey hole. You should be good. ...And if this doesn't work? Call Animal Control. Giving a tranq to a CALM cat is almost impossible. [/QUOTE]
