Sorry to hear of Paloma's problems - I don't have any experience of Birmans, but would wonder whether when she went out she came across another cat either in "person" or who had left their scent marks in your garden. Sounds as if she is trying to mark her territory to keep other cats away (or to attract a male if she has not been spayed). Either would seem to at least explain her behaviour. |

Thanks, everyone! She is still spraying and nervy (keeps running away from us, but will come to us at her own rate!!), though she's happy to spend the night on our bed!!! When she first went out, she ran indoors and has only been out a few times for a few minutes. The vet says to keep her indoors for a while. Thanks, Scilla |

Just an update. I caught Paloma spraying yesterday. She is very nervous and it all started when she first went out into the garden, after moving in with us. This was about a month after joining us. The website quoted is very helpful, and I am hopeful that eventually she will stop!! Thanks, everyone. Scilla ![]() ![]() |

Hi, Everyone, 'Mind of their own' comes to mind!!! The vet has given Paloma some capsules to sprinkle on her food for stress. They knock her out and she is a bit zombie-like, but she has twice attempted to spray. I say attempted because I distracted her on both occasions! She is gradually going out into the back garden on her own for five-minute wanders and is beginning to come back on her own, so fingers crossed that this will fade away!!!!!!! I'll keep in touch. Many thanks - Sclla and Paloma! |

Hi, everyone, Thanks for help! Paloma is spraying about once a week now!! (Against the same wall in the living room!!) She has calmed down a bit but I hope she won't be permanently on the Felliway - she'll become a drug addict!!! Scilla. |
