    Should I bring a new kitten into my house?

    Well I've gotten all the cats 'round here TNR'd and found new homes for three of the cats I trapped that were tame enough, and a litter of four kittens. And GOSH and golly, right now I miss those kittens. I wanted to keep one but told myself not too because, well, I knew I'd just fallen in love...

    Pictures needed!! Feral cats.

    As a project for the 4-H fair coming up in a few weeks I am making a poster display on Feral Cats. I have the text, etc. that I need for it, but I need photos. I've taken a few of the ferals I care for, but I would like a couple other photos as well. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of...

    Weird problem when trapping...

    Well, there is one orange cat around here, a female who I already had spayed, etc. She is extremely feral, lunges from the trap, etc. I supply cat food, but on the nights I put out my trap I take it away. The last three times I have set up my trap, the same orange female has been in it. I've...

    What does your cat's name mean?

    My cat's name is Raven. Meaning of Raven- Blackbird(never woulda' guessed:P) Fits her because, of course, she is black. Also, her meow is very high pitched and honestly can sound like a birds tweet. And then I am looking after three strays. Jonathan-God Has Given-Not sure if it fits or not. He...

    Stray cat always meowing, disturbing my sleep. HELP!

    I have three stray cats that I am giving all neccesary shots, spay/nueter to then I am going to find homes for them. They are all pretty gentle natured, but the female NEVER stops meowing. If I am in the room she will meow, meow, meow until I stop whatever I am doing and pet her. If I am not in...

    The worst thing I have ever done to a cat

    The worst things I've done to Raven are: Sat on her. Yes I know it sounds wacky, but I honestly didn't see her. She loves to sleep curled in a little ball on the black chair in front of the computer, and since she is a pure black cat she blends in well. I was leaving for a local fair where my...

    Who puts clothes their cat?

    You see/hear of tons of dogs that wear cute outfits, but I've never seen a dressed up their cat besides my own. Raven has a halloween shirt, a winter sweater and I plan to buy her more clothes in the future; she just looks so cute! Does anyone else dress up their cat(s)? Do your cats hate it...

    Caring for my Feral/Stray cats...Am I doing this properly?

    Well, I now have FOUR stray/feral kitties in my possession...I am little bit stunned that I have so many already. Three of them are black and white littermates that I believe were dumped here as young kittens. I have seen them hanging around my property a lot, hunting rabbits, digging through...

    Caring for my Feral/Stray cats...Am I doing this properly?

    Thank you for the carrier suggestion! And here I was wondering how I was going to fit the dog kennels in my car... I admit to confusion on the socilization issue. Half the stuff I read says if you get a kitten over 6 weeks they are impossible to tame, the other half says any age can be tamed...

    Well, I have decided to start caring for the feral/stray cats that live on/near my property.I've watched for two years as first it was just one...then two...then six...then finally right now I think that within a 2 mile radius there are 15-20 cats, about six of which live directly on my...

    Orphaned kitten update(piccy!)

    I wish I could keep all of them! But unfortunatly with a horse, two dogs, two goats, a cat, a cockatiel, the amphibians and arachnids in my brothers room and several fish tanks, combined with a low income at the moment, and me just starting school, I can only keep one. I knew this when I first...

    Orphan kittens

    Its great that you're taking care of them! They are both absolutely adorable, isn't it great(although exausting) to be a kitten "meowmy"? I'm raising four orphans right now, three from the same litter I've raised since they were a few hours old, the other since she was four weeks. Now the litter...

    Orphaned kitten update(piccy!)

    Well, I posted here a few weeks ago about 3 kittens I had rescued at birth because their mother refused to care for them. They are now a little over four weeks old, and doing GREAT! Also(how's this for a coincidence?) about two weeks ago I was taking a walk and heard a kitten crying in the...
