    Socializing Ferals -- Please share your story

    I have 4 cats, 2 were feral kittens that were abandoned (or something happened to her) by their mother (a feral cat)at 2 1/2 weeks old. The feral kittens are 4 years old now and are very social. They like people and even little kids. They also do tricks and have given many performances for up to...

    URGENT - Please Protest the Removal of a Managed Cat Colony in Maui

    We are having the similar problem here in Houston at a Condominium Complex. There is a manged feral cat colony that is being cared for i.e. vacinated, spayed, neutered and released into the colony. The complex itself has launched an initiative to trap the felines, neuter them and then release...

    I don't want to put him to sleep!

    Hi Pokey About your question, can you mix the Cat Attract with another litter... Eventually I did that in some of the boxes. I left 2 of the boxes just Cat Attract and mixed the others. It seems that all the boxes are used but the Cat Attract box seems to get the most use. Maybe do a box of Cat...

    I don't want to put him to sleep!

    I'm repeating what has already been said but....one of my cats started peeing outside the litter box (on carpet, the cat beds, clothes, shoes, a box of cat toys, bean bag chairs x 2 etc.). Well he had a UTI with some crystals. It turns out he had swallowed a 9" red ribbon. He ended up chucking...

    Information on Siamese?

    There is a topnotch organization in Virginia: www.siameserescue.org Siamese Rescue, they have many pure bred Siamese cats and kittens that need good homes. I got my Siamese from them; actually from the Houston Siamese Rescue branch, and she is a gem. She was 7 months when I got her.

    New Natural Balance Recall (not Menu related)

    I just googled "rice protien concentrate" and the scarey thing is it shows up listed in the ingredients of several very well known dog and cat foods not just Natural Balance. It also shows up in human foods and health drinks. So???? It appears we are at the mercy of the rice protien...

    Poor Pengy thread is gone

    Carol/Petunia, where have you found the Pengy thread? Or is it another trhread started after the original? I can only find posts saying they are sorry the Pengy thread is gone. If you can advise me as to how you are getting there that would be great as I would love to read it.

    Should I cover up her hiding hole?

    Thanks for the encouragement. It's been right around 7 weeks now. She has definitely become more comfortable around me. If I stay in the bathroom preparing her food or cleaning the litterbox she will come out in the room. Also if I stand in the doorway with the door open she will come out. We...

    Feral injured, what to do?

    I think it is great what you are doing for these little fur souls. They may not even be alive after the winters without you. I love the play set and I can see why the other cat wants to move in. It sounds like Ace and William have a bond and they may not be amenable to a third. Probably the...

    Another pet food manufacturer bought the wheat gluten and they make wet & dry food!

    One of my cats is veru allergic to wheat gluten so I have to feed her wheat free and wheat gluten free products. I do know that Wysong Vitalty Dry food (some of the other Wysong products list wheat or wheat gluten)doesn't use wheat gluten, at least it's not on the list of ingredients. Also, I...

    Another pet food manufacturer bought the wheat gluten and they make wet & dry food!

    I read that PETA reported that dogs and cats were becoming ill from dry food too and that the FDA discounted PETA's concerns. Now I read that the FDA says that dry food possibly has been contaminated but we don't get anymore info than that. I have also read from The Catsite postings that...

    Should I cover up her hiding hole?

    Lyric has been with us for 6 1/2 weeks now. She has never shown any indication that she was wanting to leave her room...until this morning. We've gotten to the point where I can stand in the door way with the door open and Lyric will come out and even lie down in the middle of the floor...as...
