Thanks! I'll get my son to come down and have her get used to him. She always seems to be asleep when he's here to we'll have to do it on his two days off.
For some reason, I don't like the idea of trapping her in one room. I think that would traumatize her more. She has the run of the house and has her favorite places to sleep. Thank you though. I think all cats have different needs. I've only had two in my life. This one and one that was...
This sounds good. I am going to have to talk my husband into letting my son and his girlfriend have the cat for those two weeks if he wants to go. They love animals. The problem is they live in a downtown apartment we own and we have a NO PETS clause in our rental agreements. But they live...
My son lives up the street and he'd feed her. He'd stay here too but he has a girlfriend and m y husband doesn't particularity like the idea of them both sleeping in our bed. Our other bedroom has a small bed. (we live in a small Carmel cottage that is historic and called a "fairy tale...
Thank you for that advice. I'm really stressing on leaving him when he is used to being inside most of the day. I did buy him a large cat house but she will only go in there for treats. Dang it. I'll give your idea a try. I do feed her outside every other Tuesday when out house keeper comes...
She seemed feral when she first came around. It took months before she (sorry, HE) trusted us some. Then more time for him to come inside to eat. He'd eat and run. Then he tamed down and got into our laps and purred. Walked all around the house and found favorite places. Does not know how...
I know most of you told me to trap her but I just hated the idea. So, finally I got a Have a Heart trap and we got her into it. My husband rushed off to the SPCA with her wailing all the way. They took the sheet off the trap and it was an ORANGE cat! Ours is gray. My husband was so shocked...
I left a message for a vet to call me back. If you had any idea how much money I've spent on the carrier, cat house, etc., etc., you would not believe it. Now I have to get a bigger carrier! Yikes.
I've got the carrier so I have to get her to get IN it. She won't. I won't trap her. But if she finally gets into this carrier, I'll get her to the vet. I think she's been vetted because there are two pets (cats with collars) that came around her when she first showed up. They are males and...
We've been feeding a stray cat for about four months. She is now coming to eat when I call her. I moved the food dish closer and closer to the house and now she will come into the foyer to eat. She explored a little a couple of times, but won't stay inside. I closed the door on her the other...
