I couldn't agree more that male cats should all be neutered, I was thinking more about random Toms wandering into people's gardens - the Toms not belonging to any mother cats/kittens owners.
There are many accounts on this thread of Toms killing kittens. While I don't have personal experience of...
Hmmm, yes, I'm biased, I've got six black babies!!!
Feral cats shouldn't be overly afraid of storms, they are natural phenomena. Cars back-firing is an urban thing & if the cats weren't urban to start with... but if they were rural would they be put in that situation... Sorry, just not got time...
I don't believe it was the mother, especially if you saw ginger fur there that didn't 'belong'.
If I may describe the behaviour of Lions who live in packs called 'Prides'. A pack of brothers guard the 'pride', the lionesses & cubs. The male lions get old, other younger male lions who roam...
Something else to consider I think, I forgot to mention it before, is that in the animal world, standing square-on, showing your teeth with pulled back lips & a direct stare is a THREAT, a WARNING. Anoffside posture with closed mouth & looking away is better. Also, I have found reading to...
You don't seem to be making 'mistakes' the way I see it, just doing your best at the moment, it's difficult I know & I have a large house & have had big dogs at the same time...
Please keep me posted, that would be lovely, I wish Walli & Joey a great 'family' freindship, they WILL achieve it in...

Ah, Joey is 11 months old! Regardless of his being neutered, he is at the age between a kitten & being fully grown, in musculature too, to hold his own in defending territory & competing for females. In a world colony, he would be 'play-fighting' very roughly with other young males. He won't...
There's a few 'cultural/national/things I'm unsure of the meaning of, "catio"?, something like 'patio/terrace', a particular type of thing? Screen doors? I think I have an idea from films. Baby gates? The only ones I've ever seen aren't cat-proof, if to stop a baby, cats can get through or over...
How lovely you are to have taken in Fluffy, is that handsome tabby in the pic the gentleman in the story?
I was brought up with 'farm cats', outside feral/semi-feral ones as well as 'house-cats' & have had cats all my adult life, preferring to take in cats from 'bad homes' or 'feral cat'...
