Cole has been with us for three years. We are trying to move in the next year or so. It will not be far but still a few miles away. My two other cats are indoor cats and don't go outside. So no issue. But Cole could be a trick. He lets me pick him up and pet him but will still run when I...
She had a tree I made her but decided to make a cat walk to another higher setting point she can watch the world go by. A bit blurry as I forgot to turn the flash on,
So I live at the end of a sub road. I have noticed lately that there are 4 small kittens can not be much older than 6 or 7 weeks maybe 8. They are running in the road and sitting there at night. I have tried to stop the car and approach them but they run away. Always to the same home. They...
I have a feral cat I have been working with for over a year. He lets me pet him and hangs around the house and lives in a shelter I built him. The other cat I adopted and she was feral but is now a good lap cat Brindle. Brindle lives on the screened porch. I put in a swinging cat door for her...
I know I went over this and I thought I had it taken care of. But cole has a tick on his head and he was still several days from the 1 month frontline treatment time. So I went to treat him and he came over to eat I reached down and pet him on the head and then tried to put the front line on. He...
How long does it take for a semi feral cat to forgive you for taking him to the vet? I got him a check up, de-wormed, and all the shot and a 3 year rabies. I may not take him in for a few years now. I put him in a small dog cage, so it would be open when I put him in and then put a cover over...
I had posted here a bit ago that I built cole my feral, less feral every day a cat house out of a tote in a tote with insulation. He was not using it and some here gave me some ideas, put a second entrance in it so he will not feel trapped, I did, also Straw instead of a blanket. I did. Its been...
Well its been a year since I started feeding cole. It started off he would run away when I put out food. Today I sat on the back porch and threw out treats and got him to come up on the porch and he let me pet him and rubbed up against my leg tail up and purred. Its been a long time but he is...
Brindle the stray cat I inherited with the house lives on my porch. I built here a cat stand. She had not gone on it for a while but I caught her checking it out. The reflection is the door glass.
I have a feral cat I took in. We trapped him and had him fixed and have been working for the past year to get him to become used to us. He now with the help of some treats will let us pet him. Today I noticed what looked like a coffee bean on him and knew what it was the second I saw it. I went...
My out door cat Brindle has a strange behavior I don't understand. She will sit at the door to the porch, its enclosed and she has a cat door. She will want attention. I got out sit down and she will rub up against my leg. I put my hand out and pet and she will sometimes swat my hand claws out...
Brindle my out door cat I treat with Frontline. I get it from on line and they sent me stuff made by the company for over seas sales. The Frontline comp. I called said to send it back to them and they will replace it with US sales replacement. I got several very small ticks on my skin when...
I have three cats. One indoor that never goes out, one outside cat that will sit in our lap when we are outside and one feral cat that will not let us get closer then 2 feet.
I was sitting on the porch today drinking a cup of coffee and brindle jumped into my lap. As I was petting her I felt...
So I built what I hope is a coon proof cat feeder. I took a cheap 50 dollar flat pack, painted it with oil based paint, added cedar shingles to make is last longer, put in an automatic feeder and added a block panel to stop them from getting to the feeder.
My out door cat Brindle jumped in my lap and as I was petting her I thought it was a piece of debris and it was a dog tick. I killed it and put Frontline for cats on her. I had some for when I take my indoor cat to kenneled. It says ticks 2 weeks. But Frontline Plus says it last a month for...
Well I started to take in the cat food at night. My out door cat and the feral cat food. This worked for a month but now I am catching the offending coons in the day time. I will have to live trap them and move them out in the country farther. Maybe I can collapse the colony. The thing is I put...
I needed to make a feral cat house for the black feral living under my shed. I bought two tubs one smaller than the other and fitted it inside with a half inch of foam under it. Sprayed foam and chips of half inch bead broad broken up. Fitted a 6 inch coupling with a bit of down tilt to keep...
When I moved here about 4 months ago the owner asked if I would adopt the out door cat Brindle. She is a beautiful little Tortuous shell. I agreed and she lives on the porch. They would leave the door to the porch open a bit all the time. I put in a cat door and closed the door. Brindle took to...
