Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I have a very good vet and I have asked him to check it out for me. The problem with this cat (I have 6 cats) is that he has developed a nasty habit of spraying -- not too bad yet, but I don't want it to get beyond help. No cystitis and no recurrence of the stones he had several years ago. Dr. C (Bill) put him on 10 mg of amtriptyline for 14 days. I am not too sure I want him on that for very long. That is why I asked Bill to check out the l-theanine, which is actually what is in green tea and is a water soluble amino acid in green tea and is an immune booster too. A friend of mine's dog is now on l-theanine and it has calmed her down considerably.

I also have cat with stomatitis which is a very debilitating immune problem. Bill has been treating him for about 6 years and I can say, pretty successfully (knock wood, of course!). He is on cyclosporine which is compounded by a pharmacy here in Austin and they put quite a bit of Salmon flavor in it. Gabe still doesn't like it but he puts up with me giving it to him! But he is a sweetheart anyway.
Bill also is the vet that saved the life of a dog of mine who was stupidly chasing chickens and got himself shot in the head. Bill operated (at 6 in the morning) and saved his life, even tho he did lose an eye. So I have a lot of confidence in my vet.
But, do you know of any other stress-reliever for cats? I am open to any and all suggestions -- but will have Bill check them out, of course!! I would appreciate any suggestions you might have -- and thanks again!
I had a roommate who had a young kitten that was "in heat" before she could get her "fixed" and I remember distinctly that the vet put the poor little thing on Valium because she would be up "meowing" all night and keeping us all awake. I think the poor kitten was prescribed a high dose though because after "pilling" her, she would just sit there stoned... huge pupils... she walked around running into walls like she was drunk... she did not seem very happy about it... so, perhaps a very low dose of Valium (diazepam) could be tolerated?
