Related: About this forumThe kittens are getting braver and Majik is still peeved.
Both teenage kits have been exploring the house. Majik is not an up high cat, once in a while he'll sit on the window ledge but not often. Both kits, renamed Pixie & Dixie are climbing up the table, dressers, window ledges, me, and I think Pixie was eyeing the top of the fridge.
Feliway is plugged in, but there is still daily growling & hissing. I did see Majik & Pixie do a nose touch, so that is hopeful.

(60,010 posts)Just got out of teenage phase with our 2.
The leaner one literally bounces off walls.
Found a good kitty repellent. Spray can of Pure Citrus Orange, label says it is citrus oil.
I spray, very lightly, the hallway rug by the front door, stops them from crowding the door when someone opens it. Has to be done once a day or when needed, but does work.
They like to get onto my bedside table, so I rubbed some Vicks Vapor rub, the mentholated kind, onto the top nearest the bed. It worked too.

It is an 'analogue of feline facial pheromone' designed to prevent urine marking. 'Some kitty' urinated on my bedding, I strongly suspect it was Majik, letting me know he was upset about the kittens. (Yes I know it could be a bladder/kidney issue, but he checked out ok.). I put one plug in unit in the bedroom & one in the living room.
I cannot handle a cat peeling on my bed, if all the cats cannot get to a state of ignoring each other, I will have to think very hard about keeping the kittens. (I agreed to keep then for awhile as their family got set up in a new life in another state, they won't be back for them.)

(60,010 posts)I use Composure, which is very effective on dogs, esp. during thunderstorms and chills out cats, they come begging for it. I buy the dog size chews, then give the cats 1/2 chew when they get too wound up.
The cat formula and dog formula are identical, but more expensive to buy the smaller sized chews.
I get mine here, cheapest I can find on the web. ( I get no benefits either, just very impressed in the change on our too hyper retriever)
