I haven't been sick lately (knock on wood!) but our part time groomer was dx'd with H1N1! So be careful!

Thank you! Cuddles has been an indoor cat all her life. Coco, the big dog, has never bothered her, I guess maybe becuz this was Cuddles home long before Coco came around. But Coco sure does want to get ahold of Ben! Ben & DJ have started playing pretty well together when he's indoors. I...

A couple of pics of Ben - 1 with my 16 year old cat Cuddles & the other with my small dog DJ

Thanks KatKisses! When neighbor called that 1 day when I was at work I did just mention to him that I had considered keeping Ben to live at the store, he really didn't respond to that. But it's already SOOO cold here! Dipping into the low 30s & maybe even 20s at nite We've even had snow...

Thank you so much for all the replies! I still feel pretty torn about the whole thing. On the 1 hand I'm so scared of something bad happening if Ben lives outdoors even just during the days. We live on a residential, yet pretty busy street. While I've never seen him in the street, another...

I do understand that. And money really is not the issue with me either - the health & welfare of the cat is what matters most to me too. I know that these particular neighbors will not invest any money in this kitten & if the cat is going to be kept outdoors, it does need yearly vaccines, as...

Well, I didn't go into details I guess, I'm sorry. The thing is, when neighbor called me at work, he explained that he can NOT keep Ben in his house thru winter as he is VERY allergic to pets - they have NEVER had a pet. He said He could keep Ben in his garage thru the winter. He's afraid that...

Ben is not feral, but is a stray that showed up in my yard in early spring as a tiny kitty weighing 1 lb at first vet visit. Now he's growing into a very healthy, beautiful cat who's UTD with immunizations & is neutered. He's not able to live in our house, as I have a large dog that I'm afraid...

Thank you for the links, I'll show hubby!

Ah! Yes, that helped a lot, thank you VERY much! I've bookmarked all those pages you linked to so I can show hubby when he gets home.

And do you then cut holes & use PVC pipe for the cat to get in, as suggested in an earlier reply. 10" PVC pipe?

Hi, it's been a very long time since I've been on. I've been caring for a stray that showed up in our yard early this spring as a very tiny little kitty. He's now growing into a healthy looking, very beautiful cat! He's UTD on vaccinations & I just had him neutered last week. I would love to...
