Me, too!! YAY!!!

I’ll recommend your mother try the Feliway, as I mentioned in [this specific post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10469842&postcount=23).

Our kitty, Emma, came to us a complete basket case, terrified of everything, from being chased and beaten up and smacked around by 2 other cats, a dog and a new baby in her old home. She’d get petrified every time a stray or neighbor’s outdoor cat came in our yard, and would wail and holler and pee on the floor, poor thing. ☹ We installed a Feliway diffuser and she’s been like a different cat. And not one single incident of peeing outside her box.

I hope everything works out for everybody, and it’s great to know we have backups for both girls in case it doesn’t.

😛 I used to keep a ball of “cat” yarn for my yarn baby…it was so ugly, that there was no way I would mistake it for something that I…you know…might want to make something with.

Anyway, I’m glad that your folks have succombed to the kitteh magic and that other things are looking up for you.

This…this is great news! So happy to hear it. 😃

(Though I am annoyed that it didn’t show up in my email. My notifications are getting pretty hit and miss lately!)

Awww, happy ending. I’m so happy for you - I’m glad you’ll be able to see your babies regularly. Life is good.
