If he's anything like the strays I've known he probably has several hideouts. They seem to rotate--each having their own preference, of course! A calico I rescued seemed to stick to a few spots and then pick new ones every 3 months or so. I always wondered if it was boredom or a smart...

Great news! He's rebounding even faster than I would have guessed! A setback with the scary door but he's not giving up.

My sense is she might be in pain or discomfort when she's up and about. Cats have strange ways of showing it and can't express themselves like we do. She is definitely stressed even if she is peaceful & loving at night. I wonder if she is still having effects from the surgery & treatment...

If you have a garage or storage that looks anything like mine, you'll be able to find something that will work!! LOL Even a stick, small piece of wood, rock, broom handle, or plastic bottle filled with water; whatever you can find that will do the job and be easy for you to use! My first...

I think it is too early to judge. Don't count him out. His need for food and survival instinct might just overcome his hesitation although he will no doubt be suspicious. You have proven that you are a food source and have been nice to him. If he won't agree to the prior arrangement, try...

I agree with others, there is something wrong or something she is not happy about. I went through similar situation but the poops were softer. My kitty left deposits near the boxes as if sending a message. She turned out to have food allergies which the vet suggested. She's always had...

What a nice followup!! Lucky kitty and lucky you! Cats truly want safety and security. I've rescued 12 cats. 3 feral, 5 semi-feral, 4 strays. They kept showing up in twos and threes! Not one of them would trade their indoor life for the outdoors. I'm obsessed about trying to keep them...

I understand about the happy smoke blowing! I remember reading about the Secret Sauce but ruled it out for some reason. Maybe because I was already on the dental surgery path but not sure. I did remember something about feeding Charlie. I think the long term effects of the stomatitis and...

MackieMac & Valhalla - I'm sorry to hear about your kitties. Beware of ingredients in baby food. Most contain onion powder. Onions are not supposed to be fed to cats. My first vet was always recommending baby food but fortunately I'm a label reader and discovered the onion powder. I...

I have experience with 2 cats having stomatitis in past 5 years. We went through ups and downs and wasted time on inadequate treatments. The best treatment is complete extraction of all teeth. Yes, it sounds drastic but it is most effective and recommended by the veterinary dentistry...
