    How do I work with a mysterious new cat?

    Thank you for replying. I can only put the flea stuff on if I can get to him, and to get to him I'd have to don my gardening gloves and pull a scratching and biting kitty out from the only place he's recently found safe. I won't do that. That sounded very assertive, didn't it? In truth, I'm...

    Sorry to burst in on your forum like this; I can see you have a thriving community and I hope you can help. Originally, we owned one cat. Over time that expanded to a second, as a cat appeared in our garden, shivering in the slight shelter of our summer house. Over time, she was coaxed in...
