I found a very friendly stray cat in a local park, completely unafraid of people and always looking for cuddles and pets. I left him there for about a week (thinking he may have already had an owner, seeing he is so friendly, and was just passing through) but after that, I thought I should try...
It sounds like you might have a tough time if Midget is pregnant again as well. I'd recommend having Coon spayed while pregnant--if she's mated with the bother cat, there is a big risk of congenital birth defects..also, the last thing you need is more kittens to (not) fix. They can go into heat...
I'm by no means an expert, but I felt five/six days was enough to gauge who was coming to eat, and when. Now, not every cat will appear every day, and I'm not sure there are any patterns to it. I used cheapo dry food mixed with warmed tuna (to carry the scent) and would have cats waiting for me...
Cats are strange, wonderful creatures, as I'm sure you already know! Zhu Zhu came back on her own after 3 1/2 months--fatter than when she left. I highly suspect someone took her in--she's a cute kitty and only has a microchip, no collar. Like in Japan, I think, nobody would check for that...
What a beautiful kitty! I do hope he comes home to you soon!
How rural is your area? Are there a lot of farmers around? Or houses with large tracts of land? He may be getting food that way --- especially if there are other cats around. And if he's not very friendly with people, then I'd guess...
Sharing the good news--my indoor-only kitty is back home after 3 1/2 months roaming the wild (okay, downtown Beijing). Pretty amazing, actually. I was sitting in bed reading when I heard a loud meowing outside my window. Didn't recognize the meow, but I thought I would check it out and give the...
Please calm down. I think the posters here just really want your family to stay together, that's why they are asking you questions about your lovely little kitty and her recent behavior--it's so much better to resolve the underlying issues and successfully keep the cat in the home rather than...
I'm missing my kitty in China--not quite the same country, but the same issues. Sadly, a lot of what will work in America won't work in where I am at--sure you have the same issues. Lots of strays where I live, so I'm not sure what the dynamic is when it comes to how far kitty will wander.
If...
A friend of mine sent out a panicked email, saying she needed to rehome her two cats because her husband cannot live with his allergies any longer. I've offered to temporarily take them both in, and relying on our mutual circle of friend advertise them and rehome them permanently. My question...
thanks for all the good wishes. I have a wildlife camera that I am rotating around the feeding stations, and a few possible sightings. Hopefully I can catch her one camera and start trapping. Any advice for how long I should keep a wildlife cam in a certain feeding area before moving on? There...
It is possible, and I am getting posters up as far and wide as I can (though street sweepers take them down quickly). I know there is a lot of food and shelter in the immediate area, but I am also concerned how far a curious kitty can roam in one month. Some websites suggest two miles!! Better...
Thanks...it has been three weeks now, and this is not getting any better. No legit sightings, nothing when I go out to call/look for her. I feel so awful and guilty over the whole thing. Not many people around here understand (just a cat right?) but I am glad to have support here. The pain is so...
Thanks for all the good wishes, I can't give up on her just yet The good thing is there are a lot of feeding stations where I live--so many fat ferals and women who overfeed them. I just haven't seen her show up at any of these feeding areas, and neither have these ladies...
