British companion cats have an identity crisis after a grooming session ….

FaceTime Consult In London — Identity Crisis
(Scent Glands, Sense of Smell, Post grooming Angst)
On one of my visits to London, I arranged a follow-up FaceTime consult for Gusty and Terry whom I had treated a few months earlier.

Alicia and Barry, their guardians, told me their guys had resumed their usual relationship, but Gusty now and again urinated in and about. They realized it was probably exacerbated by his former condition but wondered if there was something that they could do to change Gusty’s behavior. One of my recommendations was to place the litter box in the tub. There are some cats that prefer this location.

Identity Crisis
They were concerned about Terry’s loss of recognition. Although the two cats are well matched whenever Gusty was groomed and clipped Terry would become startled and keep his distance from Gusty. He also became disoriented after he was groomed.

Sense of Smell
A cat is very dependent on his sense of smell — especially when it comes to identification. Moisture and saliva contribute to this scent. Your cat’s scent glands are located in the mouth and on the sides of the head, the pads of the front paws, and the tail. The glands contain one-of-a-kind pheromones unique to her/him.

My prescription — Scent gland wipes before and after grooming —

  1. Take a moistened cloth, and gently wipe Gusty’s scent glands on the two sides of his head and his mouth before he is groomed.
  2. After Gusty is groomed, slightly moisten the cloth with water and wipe Terry’s mouth and sides of his head with the cloth. This will reacquaint Terry with Gusty’s familiar scent.
  3. Next, repeat Gusty’s scent gland wipe, and re-wipe Terry’s scent glands with Gusty’s present scent. Now Terry will be acquainted with Gusty’s post grooming scent and won’t be startled or confused.
  4. Conclude the exchange with a towel rub-down of Gusty that includes the start of his tail and pads of his front paws (for the other scent pads here), and follow this with a rub-down of Terry with the towel to transfer Gusty’s scent.


Distant Reiki
I sent them a distant Reiki treatment for continuous physical and emotional balance in their successful transformation.

I received the following email the next day:
Thank you again so much for yesterday. Gusty went into the cat litter properly even before we put it in the bath. He was so relaxed all day. (Success!)
I have played your link of therapeutic music, loads of times and they both seem to really love it. When I put it on this morning, Gusty didn’t leave the phone till it finished. (Music Therapy — The Wilbourn Way)
We’ll keep you updated with any changes and here are some pictures from yesterday.
Gusty and Terry are back on track and very happy in the garden at the moment. We’ll be in touch re Terry’s identity lapse after their next grooming.
