Thank you, StefanZ...you came through for me again.... I read up on DE and on Borax too...DE seems to be a lots less toxic than Borax, but I have no idea where I will find human/food grade in my hometown. I already searched online and came up with nothing. I will visit a few possible stores and...

Are there ANY natural flea prevention/solutions out there? What did we do before Advantage or Frontline? I brought a feral kitten into my home two months ago, at 9 weeks old.  On the advice of my vet, she was treated with Advantage...and got REALLY sick. Fleas all gone - and almost her too. I...

You are to be admired for what you do, Ritz. Your "restaurant" is no doubt the best in the city to your colony.  We have a big feral problem in my city - as do all cities, everywhere - but other than Mama, I have never seen another feral cat around here. How she ended up in my yard, I have no...

I see your point StefanZ - but the way he salesclerk said what he said, left me with no room to believe that he would help an obviously feral cat, even in the dead of winter. I thought him very narrow minded for someone who works in a pet store. You are right about why he pointed out that they...

No head butts yet...purring started Saturday night. She snuggles up close while I'm watching TV, purring like crazy. She doesn't climb on my lap very often, just lies close to me on the couch, while I stroke her. She's such a good kitty....

Thank you. I checked the link you provided - "a guillotine like cutter" and "10 amputations" were all I needed to read....My kitty will keep her claws. 

"Converted cat person"...I love it....beats "The crazy cat lady" - which is what everyone is now calling me... My sister and my son are the cat people in my family, my sister has three, my son two - all rescues. And here's another point I need advice on - declaw or not? My sisters cats have...

Thank you for your words of encouragement, Feralvr..... I've been SO upset about Mama and her crying - although it is now far less than it was a couple of days ago.  I can only HOPE that Mama will come around and start to trust me eventually - hope springs eternal, right? - I can't quite...

I'm going to give it my best effort, but shes VERY scared - still slinks up to the food on her belly - and I've been feeding her twice a day for the past few months. I tried sitting outside after putting down food, quietly reading about 10 feet away from where she eats, but no go...she's waited...

Well...it's been a while since I posted...here's an update. I had to deal with a family emergency and was unable to attempt to trap either Mama cat or her kitten until last Tuesday. I was SO worried, because the kitten was getting older and would be harder to socialize - IF I could catch it. I...

Thank you for your sound advice, StefanZ. I think Mama has moved the kitten again...she has not gone into the corner where the kitten was, since Friday morning. We had a really bad thunderstorm here Thusday night, she went over the fence on Friday morning and hasn't gone back to that area since...

Thank you for your answers and encouragement.... I am willing to take the in kitten now, that's why I already have KMR on hand (would need to get bottles, if not weaned). I'm just afraid that I won't be successful catching the kitten and Mama will get angry and move it again - somewhere where I...
