Thanks! My husband and I have taken in many strays, but always one at a time. This is the first time we've rescued an entire family! I'm glad they are fitting in with our other three cats. They all fight periodically, but it seems to be "normal" with a large cat family. As long as they aren't...

Thought I'd post an update for those who might be dealing with this same issue. It has taken several months, but Polly and Gracie are doing much better. Polly (the mom) sometimes chases Gracie, but it usually ends with a hiss from Gracie and nothing more. It used to be that Polly couldn't seem...

So sorry for your loss. Whether or not to get another cat depends on your cat but also on you! One time I felt I adopted too soon and the cats didn't get along. they got into huge fights.That was very distressing and I was not in an emotional capacity to handle it. Earlier with a different cat...

One of my ten month old kittens liked to chew and eat all sorts of bad things. I really have to watch what I leave out. The weirdest thing he has chewed on is tin foil! Who would want to chew on that?

Thanks for the reply! We do have two cat trees but we have a big house and were thinking of getting another. I think that is a good plan - only interfere if it gets bad. Yelling is just scaring everyone. Last night I heard hissing and found them under the couch together. I hope they will figure...

Earlier this year I took in a mother cat and her three kittens. When I got each kitten fixed, I separated them from the mom and bonded with them. Then I got the mother spayed and reintroduced everyone. They are all getting along except for some reason the mom has singled out one of the female...

Definitely keep the stray separate from your kitties until cleared by the vet. Also wash your hands after interacting with the stray before touching your cats. If I'm planning to rehome a stray, I don't introduce it to my cats at all. They may not get along and it's not worth the effort if I'm...

For anyone still interested, we've successfully brought the kitties into the house. They've been in my laundry room for a couple of weeks. I'm treating them for lung worm and round worm (ugh). The kitties have come around pretty quickly. I can pet them and even pick one up (for a second). Mama...

We opened our garage and all the cats - including the orange tom - started taking refuge in there. It seemed that the mama and the tom had some sort of understanding. Anyway, one night when all the kittens and their mama were in the garage, we closed the doors. We've been working with them every...

I completely agree about Dean Koonz! My favorite genre is science fiction. I'm currently reading "The Passage" which is a different take on vampires. So far it's captivating. The author is really good. I'd like to suggest a cute cat book - The Cat Who Went to Paris. It's true stories about a...

Me, too! I love this!!

Kittens are WAY harder to catch than I ever would have imagined. Mama cat did return and we tried to capture her and the kittens - long story short, we failed and now she's gone again. Orange cat has been returning and we've been feeding him. We will consider trap, neuter and release with him...
