awww thank you for asking...these were taken last October when he was having his dinner on my patio...he's a little lion huh??

I wrote about a week ago about finally catching a feral cat and getting him neutered...I decided with a lot of support from you all here...that I might see if I can try to get him to bond with me as I didn't want to send him back out in the cold and wet... He has been in my spare bedroom and...

I loved the boost...again, I'm amazed at how far ferals have come with the caring and loving members here. I did a lot searching the net for info and am sure you all have heard the nay-sayers...you can't tame after age three months, or three years and so on...very different ranges depending on...

Hi Keith~ I adored your story about your feral little girl. My draw was honestly dropping...especially when the vet could give her her shots etc...oh my gosh you have given me tons of hope. I'm expecting such results with mine as I am going to let him take the lead but it gives me hope...

Hi Laurie~ More great tips...THANK YOU! I really like your suggestion of giving it two weeks and then go from there...small goals and baby steps... I did spend time in his room today and read some of my book and read aloud and have some friends tracking down some harp music for me. I do...

These guidelines are so very helpful too, Hissy, a million thank yous and it's so amazing to have such support from you all PLUS the valuable insights from people who KNOW what they are talking about through real experience. I have a great big square coffee table in that spare room with a...

You have inspired me Momofmany as has Opilot...thank you. I will follow your sound advice. It sounds like you have done so much for ferals...I sooo appreciate your support. Cyndi~

Thank you for all your suggestions opilot. I do have a shelter for him because I have been feeding him for about a year now (it might have been you that gave me the links on how to construct one...I live on the Oregon Coast and while we don't get many below freezing temps it is very wet and...

Thank you for all your great suggestions. I did give him some tuna (it was the smellest thing I had since he would touch the boiled chicken and the chicken broth someone has sweetly suggested) and he did eat a little of that last night and that made me feel better. This morning he has eaten...

Hi~ I was finally able to trap my little feral friend and yesterday had him neutered. He also had treatments for fleas, earmites and worms; vaccinations including rabies and a antibotic shot. I have no idea his age but he is at least two years old so he's very BIG and very male. I put...

I think a new kitten would be great. It would match the energy of your new kitten where your 8 year old cat is kinda living at his own pace. I bet you will never regret doing it!!! Two kitten are so much fun to watch!! Good luck!

I don't have any grand knowledge for you but wanted to tell you that the love and kindness you have for your little fella reaches all these miles and touches my heart. Sending you both lotsa prayers and blessings....

Vanessa, I am soooo sorry to hear that your parents changed their minds. My mom wasn't an animal person either and my dad is a crazy cat person like me! LOL! You will find a way to help out animals I just know it until you get your own place. And you never know maybe with some subtle...

He (the opossum seems to be very docile and sweet) Yes, he is only around at night but sadly so is the feral cat. Which I have found out is typical feral behavior...hiding during the day and coming out at night to eat. So both are my night time visitors that I've never seen by the light of...

I know you weren't thinking in a mean manner at all.. this is a nursing mama and a foster cat and I don't want to stress her in the least especially with witholding food from her..she eats constantly. She was homeless and had to scour for food so food is one think I don't want her to fret...
