Thank you everyone for the very warm welcome. I'd expect nothing less from fellow animal lovers! It's also great to read positive things about combined families... after reading so much negativity elsewhere regarding fur and non fur kids, it's great to read some good!

Until I figure our how to post picts here... feel free to visit my album on webshots.com I just started using Photobucket... but many of my photos are here: http://community.webshots.com/user/stattess

Thank you for the wonderful welcome! I will post picts soon. Purrs, Stacy

I was looking around for a place to post and get to know people who maybe would "understand" me and visited my saved links and realized I have not posted here in about a year! I'm Stacy, I have a boyfriend of 5 1/2 years, 4 cats, a dog, 1 fostered cat (been fostering her for about a year) and...

I found that one of my two plump ones slimmed down once I started taking the amount of carbs away (many dry foods are high in this) and increased the protein content instead. I used to free feed due to my schedule but in doing so you are unable to watch the intake. The amount of calories and...

She has a vet appointment today. The lard only worked a little... she squirms like crazy and it was everywhere in the box but on her :{ She went to the bathroom somewhere between 12 am and 4:28 am (time I went to bed and time she woke me screaming her head off). I spoke with a friend who is a...

Sounds like such fun. Kidding. I will do this tonight and will take him / her in if need be. Will give an update later. Stacy

She didn't poop or pee last night. I got her at about 8:30 pm. Not sure of what she has done before then. I tried stimulating but she / he is squirmy. Will see what is home when I get there. I guess what came through in my panic is wondering if the tar has gotten anywhere and plugged up...

I have to strongly agree with what seems to be the more common sentiment in regards to Science Diet. I had my boys who were all overweight on it many years back. Not knowing a thing about nutrition or a cats needs, I thought I was doing the best thing by feeding it (used RD and was encouraged to...

Question though in regards to your reply Erin: If the kitten is seemily fine except for the tar, and we are trying to get her into a certain animal hospital (doc) due to their work with our ferals and our group can he or she wait if I attempt to clean up? It will still be this week. Maybe...

Wasn't 100 % sure of where to post this: A couple who has been helping me trap my feral colony and feeding them on days that I cannot picked up a young cat last night. (I was busy getting Lacey and her babies back into their box and couldn't go feed) Since we are trapping, as some of you may...

Thanks. Got her back in last night. Was far easier than I though! Got home went in there and started talking to other feral in other crate and lo and behold at the sound of my voice and the smell of food... out comes Lacey. I petted her let her rub up against me, then grabbed her and put her in...

Yesterday wasn't my most brilliant day. To refresh all I have Lacey who is feral (but surprisingly lovable - most likely discarded and became feral) who gave birth to 7 babies on August 31st. 2 of the 7 survived. Lacey is very good unlike the other feral I am trying to domesticate in my...

The eye has (as of today) opened by itself. Thanks for the replies.

I do not have ointment but was doing the dab with warm water as per the first post in the thread. I have all sorts of other things (saline and other stuff) but was just doing what the first post said.

I hope this isn't a stupid question but what do I do in the case of a feral cat? One of the two babies has one eye stuck shut. Does not look pus, green or yellow. I did this entire thing through a squealing kitten, a very upset and squealing sibling, Mom locked out of the crate while I sat...

I successfully changed the bedding last night. Mom and babies are doing well.

I trapped her before she gave birth and she is in a large pen attached to a crate in my garage. My handling of them at this time will only be this evening to move them into a clean bed. Hopefully she will not try to kill me through the crate from the outside while I'm in... or attack me upon my...

Lacey (which is what I named the feral momma cat) has had her litter. I'm sad to say that I was on vacation when her time came (signif other parents 35th anniv). Perhaps I could have saved some of those that did not make it. The pet sitter called me with the news. She had 7 babies total. 5 of...

Thank you so much. I've used hay for the outside cats before in their outside houses. I also have Carefresh Pet Bedding. Either one better for her since she will be birthing soon? Of course I do have newspaper as well... but I thought I read something about the dyes? It makes sense what you are...
