    Mushi. He is a 'friendly feral' born in my outdoor space. Five years ago, just before a serious snow storm was predicted to happen, we (my husband and I) trapped Mushi's mother and two siblings. The family were living under a table and would certainly have perished when the storm came. I took...

    Cat Litter problem/question

    Do not litter with perfume, no matter how cheap it is. It has a lot of chemicals added to it. The vet said my cat had some signs problems on his lungs related to irritations in the radiographs they took. It was only two weeks on the "arm and hammer double duty" and the coughing started right...

    Good news! she actually came up the stairs to use her litter pan and she went underneath my bed which I think means she wants to hear and see what's going on up here! a good sign! after a while under the bed, she went back down to her little corner at the bottom of the stairway and slept. Then...

    well, at least your girl is eating, albeit tiny amounts. this is a blessing. I spent most of the day trying to interest Miss Sunday in all different kinds of food. No luck.
