Is there a list that we can look at before we make our purchases? It would be nice to have that option, especially if more than one vendor sells the same product, just sayin'

List of what? Where?
Anyone can search Amazon to find various resellers of specific products. The Tripawds Gear blog and the Tripawds Amazon blog both include numerous reviews of products from many different manufacturers, and more submissions are always welcome!

Yes, that what ì am talking about. The affiliate links and knowing who supports the Tripawds community. Thanks Holly, I will check it out!

Wow, Huckleberry was truly blessed to find you. It was amazing to read through the posts and see his transition with you. Well done! Feral kitties are not easy to work with. I am so happy for you and your family and fur family. My best to all of you.
Hiya!
Have been thinking about you. Huckleberry is starting to get a little easier 
I have surprised him by picking him up a couple of times (briefly!!!) so that I can snuggle with him. His first reaction is WHAT?!? Then when I let him down on the bed he runs over and head butts me lol. I have a feeling that when he has free run then he will REALLY challenge us! Oscar was leading the pack today, he showed Huckleberry how to look out the window. I am going to see if I can post it. It's dark but it's adorable!
Big hugs,
Jackie, David, and Huckleberry

Great video Jackie! Huckleberry, you are such a smart boy! You are going to be sooooo much fun to get to know!
Hugs and cuddles ❤️❤️❤️

Remember...“live in the moment!“
That is so great! Huckleberry really hit the jackpot and to have fur siblings that he gets along with showing him the ropes, awesome!
Here's the other that David took. He said they were like this all day long. No stress, no alpha kitty game, just plain ole playing! One thing concerns me though. Toward the end of this (it's not long) Huckles jumps again and starts grooming.. am I the only one that sees it? I am wondering if he needs to go back on the gaba for a while. I hate to go back but he grooms so aggressively, and out of nowhere. Like tonight, I was petting him, he was on top of his crate. He started falling asleep knitting in the air and then all of a sudden he licks his back, front leg, back leg. Nibbles a bit at all of them and then tries to go back to that peaceful airknitting to sleep.
The way they are getting along though... it does my good

I see it Jackie. I would have David watch and write how often its happening. If he is grooming aggressively that can be a indicator. I don't know what to tell you to do. I am not seeing him 24-7 is he still grabbing you when you go near the area? How often is it happening ? Is he getting aggressive with the other kitties? Growling or ? Something startled him and then he went to lick. Can David video him for you while your away ? Might help you to know more? Your the only one who can make that call. If you have concerns listen to you gut? What did the Vet say when you called and got the Gaba prescribed?
That's what I thought I would hear. No aggression with the others but sometimes he gets a little rough. I can rub his little "bump". Sometimes it is quivering when I lay my hand on it but with a little massage he relaxes like it feels good. He does it off and on throughout the day. That was a video David took earlier today. The vet really didn't say anything. Remember, 3 days of medication was sufficient.
If he is doing the grooming thing and I go too close he will grab my hand with his paws and act like he is going to bite but then he generally doesn't. He is trying so hard to behave. I think he scares Oscar when he gets that way. Oscar heads for the door and that's it. We still don't let them visit unsupervised, and that's why.
Here's another look, not a perfect example but I think you can see more. He does this a lot.
I finally got the gaba in on Saturday, I have been working with the supplement for about a week so I have not opened the gaba yet.

I dont see anything concerning there? He is just giving himself a good cleaning, like he just ate. What I see anyway, The boys groom the same way lick lick nibble lick sorta thing. Like I mentioned earlier how often does he jump like that or look at the area and run? Seem uncomfortable , Have the little attacks he was having? That is what I would go by and how often it's happening. If he is comfortable or not. Have David record everyday for you if possible and take a look.

He is a fast little guy thats what I do see! Waiting to hear what Petra says;) on the grooming ! I thought you meant grooming his bump or what are we calling it? I call Purrkins a beep. His hangs they left a lot of skin on Purrkins. You have to use your imagination a little 
Will do. He's not hurting himself, matter of fact his fur is finally starting to grow in thicker and softer. He was badly infested with fleas and parasites before I took him in. He doesn't growl or hiss, he just gets a little snarky and stops often in the middle of doing things and starts aggressive grooming. Once he's done he goes back to whatever he was doing. Thanks for the input. With so many variables its sometimes hard to figure out what's going on. I don't see that jump unless it's videoed. Thank you again, your help is appreciated!
