Mama my be able to care for herself! She has hunted before but here in Michigan in winter there's not much for her! The rest of the bunch are her young from this summer! They've been fed by me since they were only weeks old and she dumped them here! They have no idea how to hunt and have nothing...

Thanks Folks! The common theme here seems to be don't feed them! I'll sure stop! Makes life so much easier for me! I guess starving andfreezing to death is better than getting gassed or injected at a shelteranyway! At least they'll get to die near home!Thanks so much for all the great advice! I...

Yes exactly! The toms seem to be the problem! The females are very timidand cause no problems at all! I wish I could get the whole bunch fixed butthat will never happen! Thanks so much for the advice though! I appreciate it!

I will try the lemon juice thing and see if that helps or at leastkeep them from spraying all over the porch! Thanks very much!!

No their not! Their completely wild! Even though I've fed them for a long time now their stillscared of me and everyone else! The mother dropped off 2 kittens recently and one of themnow lets me touch it when I feed them. This is becoming a real problem! No body seems to want them around and now...

Seems the cats I've been feeding are spraying all over the front and back porch!I've had many heart attacks, back and lung problems and lost my job and home years ago!I had to move in with my sister! She's extremely upset about this spraying problem and ifI don't do something quickly, I'm gonna...

Thanks all for the replies! They are getting kinda plump and their coats are very clean and shiny!Seems now they are spraying all over the front and back porch! They seem to be urinating allover the chairs out there! With my handicap I've lost my home and job and had to move in with my sister...

Thanks! I appreciate it!!!!

 Not sure what to do anymore! The cats I'm feeding have gotten pretty fussy and leave almost everything I put out for them anymore! I do have a feeder filled with dry food 24/7 so they can eat that anytime they like!! I have literally no income and can't afford fussy wild cats! The plan at...

Thanks! I looked into it when I first found this site and while researching how to care for them! There's nothing close here that I could find!I guess I'm down to 3 cats now! One was run over last night and 2 females have disappeared for the last 5 or 6 days! It's hard to put so muchinto saving...

At times this past summer a couple of the ferals I feed had the same symptoms!I had no idea what to do either! But after a day or two it cleared up and they seemfine now! One big ole tom was sneezing and looked like he had a horrible cold!There's vet here but their so expensive! Anyway a day...

Thanks! I just can't not help them!

Thanks very much! At the moment the little ones don't know there's food in front and rarely travelmore than a few feet from their hole! I'm afraid they'll starve before finding it! I was up most of thenight worrying about them! It was 16 degrees here last night with a wind chill at 5 degrees...

Thanks so much for responding! I wish I was sure they would be happier in a house!The rest of the kittens family LOVE their freedom and wildness! I just went to the grocerystore (a real chore) and one of the adults I've been feeding is smashed in the middleof the road! I'm a little depressed at...

I'm doing my best to care for 6 wild cats, 2 of which are very little kittens!Mom drooped them off here cause she knew I would feed them and theirstaying under the deck in the backyard. They only come out a very short distancefrom the hole under the deck. SO I have 2 feeding places, one in front...
