LOL -- that's what we call our two male kittens as well... I keep telling my wife we should've gotten females.

^ I have a female and even though she's a senior now she can still be a little furry monster who tears through the house attacking any unsuspecting dust-bunny or bug or piece of string or anything that moves. She's also been known to scratch and bite her humans if they catch her in a bad mood. The males that I've had have been the gentler and cuddlier of the two sexes. Of course I always get either sex 'fixed' which calms them down a bit.

Well - the fluff ball turned 3. Little party for them with treats...even the kitty was part of it.

Good times...yes, good times.

Maybe give this a shot?

It's done a pretty radical turnaround on Boo. He's normally a grumblebunny (with the occasional growl), but the collar has done *amazing* things. Now? We're at the "purr purr purr" stage and flipping over to get his belly pet.

Might be worth a couple bucks to see if it helps-- it took about a week for it to take effect.

^ TBH, I don't think I'd be able to get that on her.

They make plug-in aromizers for this too. Not sure they did anything major for our girls, but we keep one running. I hear mixed results (some get super results, some not so much, probably like catnip). They are a regular go-to in the feral-rescue community around here.

Thanks, will look into it.
