Another thing I forgot, I don't know if this would be a problem. Winston is 11 and really doesn't want to play much anymore and the vet thinks Daisy is around 2 and very much playful. At first it seems like she wanted to play with him. But he is growling and hissing a lot, the last time she...

So a bit of an update, we are having a hard time socializing Daisy with Winston. We were so worried Winston was going to freak out and Daisy is the problem. We slowly tried introducing them but I am not sure if we are doing something wrong. Winston hisses big time at Daisy and she tries...

Attachment 15317 I finally got a picture of Daisy, she actually was still long enough. Every other picture I took was blurry because she was moving. I am not sure if I attached this correctly

Well the great news is Daisy doesn't have any diseases! I was so happy at the vet I cried, my husbands eyes even got a little misty! She does have a hole in her one tooth. I had noticed she was eating delicately on the one side. So when she goes in to get spayed and micro-chipped he will...

ok, we will wait until she gets a clear report. That is what I thought, just to be safe. Thats everyone for the help and the good thoughts!

I am pretty sure I will be able to keep Daisy in the carrier this Sat morning, she is eating more comfortably in there now. She is such a sweet girl, if only she would cooperate! Now I have another question - If my husband removes the litter box from Daisy's room after we leave, is it safe to...

so we got a bigger carrier, twice the size of the first one. Daisy is such a 'stinker', she will grab a mouthful of food and back out to the entrance! Then she make a mess on the bottom of the carrier, but she does cleanup after herself. I am staying very quiet while she eats and I hope she...

Thanks for the good thoughts! I think we are going to get a larger cat carrier. She keeps her back foot out of the carrier, and she is probably listening for any movement from me. After all we did trap her to get her into the house, so she is probably very suspicious of enclosures. I have...

Well the vet is off for today, I am so upset! She has been eating out of the cat carrier for at least 3 weeks. Now tonight I go to shut the door, she was still eating, and she backed out of the carrier! I can't believe it, she moved so fast. I was going to try and pick her up and shove her...

She is not getting spayed today, just checking her to see if she is healthy and getting all the blood tests. They said if everything was ok, we could get her in next week to get spayed and micro-chipped. I figured I wouldn't introduce them until she was spayed and all the vet 'smells' are off...

Winston, is our resident male cat. We named him after Winston Cup racing(NOT cigarettes!) because when he was a kitten he used to fly around our house and we were watching a race on a Sunday. Anyway he definitely knows she is in the house because he hears her crying. She has been in heat...

I will try to make this as brief as possible, but its not simple. (I know it never is!) Back in August a stray female with 2 kittens about 5 months old started hanging around our house, we started feeding them hard food. We have a lot of grasses and huge hydrangeas they could sleep under. At...
