Dcat is having to endure a lengthy convalescence following major orthopaedic surgery. He was coping really well to start with bit is getting increasingly fed up. He spent the first month in a cage, now he's confined to one small room and in about 3 weeks he'll be allowed the run of the house for another month before going outside. Last night I noticed a small sore patch on top of his paw (leg which had surgery) and today he's managed to lick more of the fur off. I'm assuming the obsessive licking is stress-related but am unsure how to help him best.
The feliway plugin has just run out so will replace that in the morning. Anything else? He's happy when one of us is sitting with him but I can't be a cat nursemaid for the entire day :(
