    Pregnant Deaf Feral Cat

    Thank you, I have done this. I don’t think I mentioned that I have had a deaf cat a while back. I am using hand signals once she sees me. And to call her I do stomp my feet so she knows I am in the garage and I don’t startle her. I am almost learning all over since it has been 20 some years...

    OMG do I feel where you are coming from. Once the deaf cat through herself down on the rug by my feet and I wanted so bad to just touch her below her neck, but then she jumped up. When I was married and raising my 4 kids we would get 1 maybe 2 come around at a time. So we started a challenge...

    Pregnant Deaf Feral Cat

    Wow, this is interesting! I have heard of a couple mute cats through the years, although I didn’t believe they honestly didn’t meow. I thought it was instinctual to cry when hungry or wanting their mom. So do you think they don’t have a voice box? It must be very rare because like I said, I...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    I honestly thought so also, but this vet has been so wonderful with all of the others. He said “first do no harm”, he didn’t want to stress the cat more. I am going to call Monday and tell him I just need the cat checked out. It has to be done. We will stress the cat but I haven’t met a cat...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    I have one, now just to get it on! She is not allowing me to touch her. This cat is being taken care of. I spend 2/4 hours a day working with this cat. She is in a home where she will be safe I promise.

    The Petsmart Cat!

    Oh I know about rescues because I network with them everyday. My area is so full of cats and dogs that they all know I won’t put this cat out and feel I got this. As for taking it somewhere and telling them what happened and telling them I can’t have cats, all of the rescues know me and our ac...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    I agree! Seems this is probably the case. I contacted the manager of the store and got same response. So I have emailed/snail mailed and called and left messages at the corporate office. As for shelters, our animal control in this area is worthless and I wouldn’t take a dead animal to them...

    I have set up a cat litter box and yes I have 2 little homes for her and the kittens. One is a box turned upside down with rugs and towels that she has laid on also with styrofoam siding on the roof and the sides for insulation. Box is 35”x35”x16”. And I have a wood one built on an end table...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    The dewormer was liquid, not a problem, just put it in her food . I am worried that the cat is in pain or is sick. She is still hissing and growling every time I go in to see her. She will do this on and off pretty much the whole 3/4 hours I am in there if I move. She will smell me through...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    I have called other vets and they all have said the same thing up here. I have done everything aside from putting her in my studio where I spend a lot of time, but this is the next step. I guess what I am not understanding is the fact that she isn’t bothered like a feral cat would be by being...

    The Petsmart Cat!

    I am beside myself with this one! I already have posted about the deaf, possibly pregnant, feral cat. But I also have a cat that someone left in the entry of petsmart in a carrier. Petsmart employees are not allowed to bring an animal left into their store. I could not just leave this cat...

    Pregnant Deaf Feral Cat

    I did put a cat box out last night, and she has constant dry food and also wet in the am and the evening. I will definitely need help if she does not have her babies in the garage. Oh yes, she will be spayed ASAP. I would have loved to been able to before she was pregnant, she was not having...

    Pregnant Deaf Feral Cat

    Hi, and thank you! We are becoming friends. I have tried the blinking and she does not respond at all, usually is distracted. I will try the yawning and all that you suggested. I have had a deaf cat but not feral, amazing how different they are. I also have worked with many feral cats and...

    Pregnant Deaf Feral Cat

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. I believe that at one point about 2 yrs ago this cat had a family, and I believe they left her when they moved. About 6 mos ago I started just leaving food out because I had noticed this cat getting very skinny. This last month I...
