Twizzler Grace

Twizzler is a calm and mellow girl with a VERY HEALTHY appetite. She is always the first one with her face in the food bowl! Other than her large tummy, the rest of her is quite small, she just looks like she is ready to give birth at any moment. She loves to sleep on top of the pillow right above your head and has the loudest of all purrs,! At first it kept me awake, but now it just lulls me to sleep and I have a hard time sleeping in complete silence. Twizzi also has some anxiety issues that we have never been able to figure out. She likes to pull out the fur on her large tummy and on her back legs. You would never know she was anxious as she is always the calmest of cats and we have never actually seen her pull it out, but she is bare naked in places and the vet says she pulls it out. She had several tests years ago, but all came back normal. We are now in the process of buying a pheromone diffuser plug-in and see if that helps. They are not cheap, so let me know if any of you have actually used one and if it helped.

She's so pretty! Isabella is very calm and mellow too. Sorry to hear that Twizzi suffers from anxiety but hopefully the plug-in works!

Twizzler Grace is a beauty and reminds us a lot of our Chevelle. Chevelle also has a large tummy and sleeps on my pillow at night.

We have used a feliway diffuser for our former feral, Rambler, to help him adjust to indoor life. I know it calmed him from wanting to escape and get back outside. I don't have any experience in using for for feline psychogenic alopecia, or anxiety induced hair pulling. We also used Bach's Rescue Rememdy to help with Rambler's anxiety. We purchased the diffuser off of ebay, which was cheaper than the pet store.
Good Luck!!

What a gorgeous girl.

We used Rescue Remedy with our adult foster Evie, and for Fui while we had her. It helped them both to relax. We looked at Feliway, but due to the expense tried the Rescue Remedy first. It ended up working well enough for us not to need the diffuser. Good luck!:)

Twizzler is so pretty! We used to have a Siamese cat named Cricket who liked to pull the hair out from his chest. He left clumps of fur all over the place! He finally outgrew it, and never did it again.

Hi guys! We are so sorry you are naner-less! Our mom couldn't find any naners around our area, the closest was 50 miles away! You can look here:http://www.duckyworld.com/stores_new.htm for a store nearest you!
Or do like our mom did an order it from petfooddirect.com.

We also saw nip sardines, cigars, hearts, rainbows, fish, etc! We can't wait to get more!

We hope you guys get one soon!

XOXO
