Days Gone Stürzt Ab Pc

Brought back from days gone by, the Eradicator pedal has risen again! 9 years ago, I made a preamp guitar pedal for a friend. Every once in a while we would put out small batches of the original. Everything was hand cut, and hand wired, very labor intensive, but for a very enjoyable product. A few months back, we decided to revisit the original, and find a way to make it better, and more accessible.
A true Satellite tube guitar preamp in foot pedal form. Internally, there is a 12AX7 tube, cascading each gain stage into tubal goodness. The pedal operates on a 9v wall wart (minimum 500mA), but delivers close to 300 volts of DC for the plates of the tube, just like inside of our amplifiers.
Sonically, the gain goes from country cleans, to metal gain. The tone control is a high pass filter, giving similar variations as a tube guitar amplifier does. The output can be made to give a small boost, to a heavy hitting punch.
Squirt and Trouble are brothers, littermates who were brought into my life 9 years ago by their feral mama, who somehow decided that my backyard looked like a safe place to set up camp. They were about 10 weeks old when I caught my first glimpse of them.
Eventually, I adopted and socialized the boys (mama kitty disappeared before I had a chance to catch her). Trouble was a big, confident kitten, with a jet black coat that literally shines blue in the sunlight. Squirt was the runt of the litter, a quiet and gentle gray tabby with beautiful stripes. They were sweet, funny, and inseparable.
For the next few days, Squirt avoided Trouble like the plague. The problem was, Trouble wanted his brother for comfort, so he insisted on following Squirt everywhere. This led to a few hissing and growling matches between them, which I thought would eventually subside.
In our case, I believe that Squirt, who is quieter and more shy, became so afraid of Trouble that he began slinking around acting fearful and submissive, which may have somehow actually provoked Trouble to attack him. Cat behavior is complex, and can definitely be difficult to understand!
First, safely separate the 2 cats immediately. Although you will probably be alarmed, do not yell at the cats or raise your voice. The cat who seems to be the aggressor should be herded into a separate room to give him time to settle down.
Cats are complex and territorial, and sometimes their behavior can be a bit perplexing. But when we make an effort to see the world through their eyes, it can help us understand what drives them, what they fear, and what we can do to help them overcome some of the challenges of living in our world.
I had never heard of this before either, at least not as an actual syndrome! I had seen the typical suspicious sniffing and avoidance before in my previous cats who had gone to the vet and come home, but never anything like this. It was crazy-scary, and hopefully something I hope to never have to witness again!
Thank you so much for sharing your success story, and for offering to help anyone going through a particularly difficult reintegration process. For people who have never been through this before, it can be extremely overwhelming, but knowing patience and consistency can finally pay off can give people the encouragement they need to keep trying! Thank you!! ?
I have the same problem now, how did the problem resolve? I took one of my boys to the Vet (without knowing about this syndrome, I only had 1 cat before) and now the other one hisses and growls at him, meanwhile the cat that came back from the vet does not know what is happening. We kept them separated the first night and will separate them again tonight, on my way back I will also buy one of the Feliway Friends scents that supposedly helps. They were exactly like your cats, slept together, washed each other and did everything together, I am heartbroken seeing Freddie go to his brother Bob to get comfort only to get greeted by hissing, growling and paws in the air.
This happened to me for a year. The best solution? Take them both to a cattery for a few days to a week in the same suite. They are away from their home territory and will be scared. This is the only thing that worked for my two
I swap them every 8 hours or so. Pandora, the girl, sleeps w us so she stays in our room from 10pm till around noon. Then panda, the boy, is put onto our room. We have two windows they can lay in plus toys. My two older boys come in and play with them during their time in the bedroom. It is rough but I am willing to put in the work. I love them both so much.
Hi Amna, I had never heard of it before either, so I definitely know how you feel! Time and consistency will be your best strategy. There will be good days and not-so-good days, but the better days should start outnumbering the more stressful ones as time goes on. Good luck!!
Marci I realize this message comes over 2 years after but I have two part bengals now separated for 4 days and I am heartbroken. They were best best buddies and brothers until one got a tail caught under a chair and the other chased him. A brawl ensured and 3 following. We now have them separated terrified to reintroduce. They seem to miss each other. Did you situation resolve?? We are so heartbroken over Cheetos and peanut
So we have 2 kittens and one had to have surgery and was in vet ER for one might and is on medicine for 5-7 days. We unfortunately the day we brought her home had to bring the other in for possible UTI. We did not get to immediately separate them and have been home for a day and growl and hiss when near each other. We just separated them and are beginning the slow process of getting the scents swapped and switching rooms for a period of time. Even though we did not immediately separate them will it be ok since now when they see each other they think to hiss? Any feedback is much appreciated
It will likely happen again from now on so before vet visits have them both lay on a few towels/blankets for a week or two so its covered in scent and rub the hell out of them when they get back and take em both together wherever possible
Thank you! This last week has stressed us out so much! I was using the sock to rub one then the other and she hissed at the sock but I guess little by little they will grow accustomed to it! Just wanted to make sure not doing any harm or setting them back. They used to not even be able to look at each other
I have two 15 year old cats. One went to the vet. When I brought Tarzan home, Frankie was howling, screeching growing and hissing. It is day 4. It is not as intense but still I can not have them together. Keeping them in two separate areas at all times. I wrap Frankie in a big towel to take him out to the court yard where he like to go to the bathroom. He is still hissing as I pass by Tarzan. My sister said I should get a cat calming collar for Frankie. I looked on amazon and they have like this. I wish the vet would have warned me. The assistant did tell me my cat was so scared he went to the bathroom both ways in his carrier which probably took away his normal smell. I saw Madonna smell under his tail and he growled and hissed and I got them separated. Very sad and a lot of work to keep the separation, still give attention to each and outdoor time separately.
After about 2 weeks we gradually left them. Sometimes just to sit outside to fool them and just make sure but it was about 2 weeks once we re introduced them. They kind of ignored each other which gave more time, every so often in passing a little hiss. I think you will be fine by February for sure!
This is the second time he has done this. The first time, he smelled his own ear on my finger after I scratched his ear, and he went ballistic hissing and literally ATTACKING me. Fast forward about 2 years to today, and I was cleaning up some few-day-old hairballs I found on the top of his cat tree, and when he smelled that on me, he attacked again.
Hi it took us a few months of diligence in swapping them into the separates spaces each day. We let them eat near the door by letting them smell at each other thru door. Eventually through, our u do have to let them come together when they are more settled and then they battle it out with a fight which can b a bit scary.
I would chime in as well that the hardest part is just giving it time and letting it happen gradually and naturally. We did the same thing of swapping rooms and keeping them apart. We tried taking a sock and rubbing one and then going into the other room and do the same so they could smell and maybe get adjusted without seeing the other. What seemed to help also is they love when we would open our window, they both would always run and get on the ledge and look out. We did that a few times when they were still hissing at each other and for a few seconds each time it was almost like they forgot they did not like each others smell and were ok and both would look out. This was on day 6 or 7 and gradually got better each time. Hopefully this is helpful as I remember going through this and looking for any advice we could find as it was heartbreaking and tiring
We see peanut as the afraid one, Cheetos as technically the aggressor even though I have a hard time saying that. He misses his brother and wants to be friends, I really think. Peanut hisses and is afraid but runs off and Cheetos sort of reacts surprised and defensive. It escalates from there. I have to try to be less afraid of hisses, just so hard after 4.5 years never hearing a single one even in small play fights anything! My female cat growing up would hiss, never my boys though.
Sara, This happened with ours about 2 years ago, they are sisters and one had to have major surgery to remove a ribbon she ate. As soon as we brought her back the one that was OK started hissing the moment her cage came in the front door. The whole aggression time lasted probably close to 8-10 days, my wife and I took turns having one sleep in one room and the other in another room so we could keep them separated at night. They ended up being completely back to normal after the time. The laser light as well was something we did because it distracted them from just looking at the other and hissing
