LDG, What are pill pockets? I guess I need to start googling. Thanks so much for your time in reading my post and caring!

UPDATE for those interested (this is quite a story to tell): - I have the small cat carrier within the larger dog cage, door open always, in my bedroom (with food inside) - using your great idea in my hope to recapture "kitten" so we can get him to the vet. - Kitten still stays mainly in the...

From Hissy, earlier: To give you encouragement, I scared up my old thread on Cyclone here is the link http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...hlight=Cyclone HISSY, I only now read your post about the day you captured Cyclone - and I went back and read your more recent posts and realized he is...

Ellsworth, This is a great idea! Let me think about how I might go about this -it gives me great hope! I know there must be a way I haven't thought of. Thank you so much! I'll definitely let you know if I have any success - next week, after I return. (But I may go and buy another cage...

Hello everyone - you all are such generous souls with all of your caring advice. Status report: The cat I took in that is still hanging out in my bathroom leaps from the carrier where I'm feeding him into another hiding place whenever I come in. I've had him in the (medium-sized) bathroom for...

Yesterday, I purchased a larger cat carrier and ordered the Feliway to be overnighted. (It was $45 in the Petsupermarket, but only $21 online through the link I found on your website!). We had put another older cat carrier in his favorite hiding place in the bottom of the small linen closet...

Thank you so much for your helpful posts. I have been thinking a lot about this in the last 24 hours. At this point I think I should either (a) let this wonderful but traumatized cat go by opening the bathroom window (back into my backyard, and just feeding him there - not the best possible...

Thank you both for your advice - I couldn't wait to get home and check the postings. Somehow I knew you would say to get him to the vet ASAP - yikes. Hissy, in your comment - Why do I need the feliway spray? What effect does it have? Wow, this towel capture technique sounds plausible - but...

Hello - I'm new here and have backed myself (and a new feral) into quite a corner. I can't believe I've done this, but here's my situation. (Before I start, we have another huge cat, age 5, and a blind dog, age 13.) I had been feeding a beautiful black cat about a year old or less, (skinny but...
