Hi, It is great that you are helping this poor kitty. I think it is a good sign that they avoid each other rather than looking for a fight. From what I have read that would show that they will maybe come to tolerate each other by finding their own spaces. So probably not best friends but...

Thank you for the advice about it taking two months for the hormones. There is no real biting, and no real screaming anymore. It amounts to some running and jumping, tag, door footsy, some spitting, rolling, and light to heavy bats with a paw. My younger cat and he have worked together with...

I talked to my vet about his urine starting to smell strongly and the more agressive attitude, and we had him altered two weeks agos on the 7th. I think he is showing more control and maturity. We will have to see if it will be enough to get along respectfully with my older cat. He is...

I live in a rural area with lots of coyotes and foxes, and they present a real danger. All cats, even dumb ones, seem to realize from the smell that this is no dog. They can be sleeping on the couch and suddenly panic and even hide. The smell of coyotes and foxes is quite distinctive. So if...

I guess you have to be clear about whether you want him to be cared for, but semiferal,or that you want to bring him in and socialize him. It is tricky when they become a house cat but no longer would care to live in a barn or colony. Jackson was tiny, but he has trouble moving completely into...

Hi, my kitten, Jackson reacted badly to his first set of vaccinations and was off of his food for several days. When he was tiny and underwieght he loved his cat milk! It is the stuff from Whiskas. I am only giving it to him once a day right now, but I know when I had rescued a near frozen...

I would like to thank you all for the great advice and suggestions I have been getting for Jackson. It came at a time that I really needed some help and support. The adult cats and Jackson have been together more in the house because the weather is encouraging them to come in. I use the the...

Hi, I think you should use your instincts about what doesn't feel right here, because it is all about trust. When I trapped Jackson, he was under a pound,and hid under the blankets for a couple of days. Food, specifically cat milk, caused him to indentify that with me. I started having my...

We have been taking Jackson outside to help with his confidence, and build some life skills because even though I found him outside he was terified to go out, and so that at some points in the day he will be with my adult cats in a less confined area. He usually can get closer to them, and...

Jackson's story started in early July when I spotted something very tiny and dark running around outside of my acreage home after dark. I have previously taken in two feral adults, and feed and shelter the unfortunate cats who live in our rural area. I was able to trap him in a squirrrel trap...
