Wonderful and heartwarming stories!! Thanks to everyone for what you have done.
Here is my story... I was feeding a stray/feral the summer of 2018, trying to come up with a TNR plan. Then she brought her kitten for dinner one day. Brought them inside and never looked back! They are now pretty...
First off - well done to trap the mama and babies! And thank you for spaying her! Many on this forum have had great luck using Gapabentin to sedate less than tame cats... is that an option?
Good morning, it's almost July! Since it has been a while since I posted to this thread I wanted to add an update. Last week was 8 months since our 2 girls came inside. What a ride! This morning both kitties came up to the bedroom to let me know that their breakfast was late! Miss Kitty is a...
Hi! Thank you for rescuing! Please get the brother! I trapped a feral mother and her kitten last fall. They are becoming great house cats but the fact that they had each other was so beneficial!
So this is happening... Tortellini, the wild hissing feral kitten who came in with her loving mama Miss Kitty, is asking for pets! I just wanted to post this to show it IS possible and so worth all the worries, doubts and anxiety!!
And Miss Kitty, lounging...
Hi! @shadowsrescue - I am so happy that Cisco is doing so well, and that you will get to see your son & the kittens! What fun!
@Avery - I hope the LI diet does the trick for your Ruby. Working on food is next on my list. T is super finicky, it is a constant struggle getting food in her. I...
Thanks @Avery! I do feel like a contortionist trying to look at this cat! I hope Ruby is healing and you get to the bottom of her issues. And @shadowsrescue - how is Cisco? I am so glad to have found this forum, I know that I can voice my concerns/worries and people will understand! I'm also...
Hi @shadowsrescue! Thanks for checking! Last night I let the cats stay out. I was back and forth on what to do all evening. Finally I was thinking that hopefully she won't do something that hurts her. MK can get worked up, but it is never aggressive, so I assume T would just go away. I did...
2 weeks of confinement! I can't imagine. But it is the same with my DH... the cats are afraid of him too and behave much better for him. They walk all over me! I agree with you that T knows her body, but I am afraid that MK will be too rough in their playtime. She's 10 lbs and T is barely 6...
So last night didn't go as planned. I hoped to leave them out, and sleep in the family room to keep an eye on them. They started playing, jumping and running up and down the stairs, i thought it was too much for T. So we all 3 slept in their room again last night. Once in they settled down and...
Hi @Avery! Yes, we had another good night! I slept in their room again. I did get the pain meds in some food, I think she got at least some of it. But, she certainly doesn't act like she's in too much pain. I put the tall cat trees on their sides, flat on the floor, and both cats are looking...
Hi @shadowsrescue! I think it went pretty well. I stayed with the cats in their room. T ate a little bit before bed and used the litterbox. They both stayed pretty calm, T used the "steps" I put below their window perches and didn't jump too much. I let them out this morning because both...
We are home. The reunion was low key, some nose & butt sniffing. (I'll take it, at least there was no aggression!) T hasn't eaten yet, I had all her favorites out, but she isn't interested. She did a couple tours of the house (up and downstairs before I could block them off). Now she is in...
