I will of course be keeping him inside for three weeks to start and will not let him out unless he wants to. We are of course taking Edie with us, she just prefers to be an inside cat for the most part so I am not so worried about her. Anyway thanks for the input. I appreciate all of the advice!
Thanks everybody. I guess there was a misunderstanding. The new house we are moving to is still in a quite remote area. We live in a small town with no stoplights, only stop signs. He is accustomed to living in the redwood forest and our new home is not as wooded but is at the end of a quiet cul...
Hi all,
I have two cats aged 4 and 5. The 5 year old, Edie is a stray-turned house princess. My 4 year old, Humphrey on the other hand was adopted at 5 weeks and has always loved the outdoors. He wakes up at 6 am to go outside and comes home at sundown to eat, snuggle, and rest up for his next...
Betsygee,
Thank you for the helpful article! It has been about two months since the mother has come to live with us. Humphrey actually went missing for eleven whole days and came back skin and bones and really really needy. Now all he wants to do is be outside or sleep in my arms or in a safe...
I've told the story here before but my 1 year old male cat that I've had since he was 6 weeks old was seperated from his mom unfortunately too early. Fast forward a year later, I've adopted his mom who is only 2 years old. They do not remember each other at all and spent a lot of time in the...
MsAimee, thank you so much! All I've heard is horror stories and the possibility that they may never get along...I was starting to panic. The positive stories are so helpful
Wow ShadowsRescue and StefanZ thank you so much for your responses. I have found them extremely helpful. I made the transport with her just yesterday and she was a champ! She stayed calm but a little afraid the entire way and is adjusting to her room extremely well.
Now my biggest concern is...
Hi everybody! I have some questions and concerns regarding a semi-stray kitty. She is actually the(probably 2 year old) mother of my 1 year old cat. She was originally a completely feral cat living on a construction site and was finally captured by my neighbor when she was pregnant with 9...
Thank you! It's great to find such an awesome community that doesn't mind my endless questions and stories! I think my friends and boyfriend are quite sick of me going on and on :p
I feel a bit silly now, because I've already posted a question with what seemed like a five-page introduction, but I'll make it short. I have just adopted an 8-week old beautiful baby boy kitten named Nahual, Noe for short. He is sweet, cuddly, playful, crazy, and so spunky cute! I got him when...
Hi everybody!
This is my very first post as I have just rescued an 8-week old kitten. Noe was one of six kittens born to a pregnant stray that my neighbors took in. He was only six weeks(fully weaned and potty-trained) when he had to be separated from his mother. Because of that I am constantly...
