Why not just feed Mr. Gray? Can't you just offer him food along with the others? He's not trying to be an "infiltrator". He's just hungry. You said he's getting thinner too. He's coming there because he's hungry and needs food.

Try giving a stroke and then a treat. Do it a few times. Then put the brush away and do the same the next day. After a few days perhaps she'll start to associate brushing with good things happening. Then I'd just give one at the start and one when finished (if you get that far). Also try...

I've never heard of the Shedzilla, but based on the picture I just saw on Amazon it looks quite different than a Furminator. I use a "Furbuster" and it is the same as a Furminator, but I got it for a better price. The Shedzilla is probably good for mats and stuff, but it won't do what a...

Wonderful news all around!

Aww... Alex just has a different personality, but it doesn't mean he doesn't love and appreciate all you do for him! He's also a kitten and is just learning what to do and how to be. He'll probably become more affectionate as he gets older. My oldest was a rascal and totally unaffectionate for...

Try fluffy bathroom rugs! I tried a tracking mat once and found it almost useless. For years now I've used bathroom rugs. They catch a *lot* of the excess litter, are easy to shake out to keep clean, can be laundered whenever you want, come in lots of sizes and are easy to color coordinate with...

The chances of her having rabies is very, very slim. I've been bitten many times and a few were very deep puncture wounds. I also get bitten by squirrels occasionally and have never gotten rabies or even ended up with an infection. Just keep the wounds clean with Hibiclens (as someone else...

The Hibiclens is a great suggestion. My mom used it a few years back on a badly infected foot and it kept the wound clean and disinfected. I use it too if I get a bad scrape or cut. I've also used it for the occasional squirrel bite I get when feeding them. I've never ended up with an infection...

Ok. Thank you. You're right. I do have to let her proceed completely on her own schedule. Even though I sound anxious in my posts I don't try to push her outside her comfort zone. I really am very patient and consistent in our daily routine. This afternoon she took a nap on the bed and let me...

Based on what happened it sounds like Tommy has passed on by now, but I would probably keep putting food and water out for a while anyway in hopes that maybe by some chance he is ok. This probably isn't the right answer and others would say to accept that he's gone, but I'm like you where it...

Point taken.

That Monks is still spending 3/4 of her time under the sofa in my bedroom? It will be two weeks out of the crate this Monday. She'll come out from under the sofa to play (she love Da Bird), mutual groom with another cat, to be brushed by me, etc. She has gotten comfortable coming up on the bed...

I had great results with Cat's Pride Fresh & Light too. All three of my cats were more than happy with it. You can get $1 off coupons on Facebook too: https://www.facebook.com/catspride/app_145434698873794 They let you print 2 per month!

I believe his sudden affectionate behavior was because he knew he was sick, knew he could trust you and was physically close to you now. He probably always had affection for you, but being a feral didn't allow for him to show you. He lived his life in survival mode outdoors and only when taken...
