Hi, first of all I haven't had time to get back here for awhile, and once again thanks for all your replies. I'm not sure Larke, about Mama and kittens not remembering each other. My own brood (as verses the new brood from Little One-Eyed Black Kitty) is really connected to the five kittens she...

Thank you so much for writing--all of you! It made me feel better to know that in the wild the mother pushes them out of the nest eventually to make their own way in the world. And yes, I will have her spayed as soon as the kitties are gone from the nest. I actually had a fright tonight when she...

What happens when Mama suddenly has no kittens? Will she wander around crying for them? How distressed will she be and is there anything I can do at all, other than giving her lots of TLC???? What do I do with my guilt? I took in a one-eyed pregnant waif in January and her 6 kittens are now...

I'm curious, have been reading the threads about dry cat food and am happy to know wbout some brands other than Science Diet. Since the lady in Korea has limited choices, I wondered if you experienced cat people could explain to her and me why Science Diet doesn't much get mentioned. I am...

I hope you can help. I have a mama and her now 11-month old kittens as indoor/outdoor cats. One of them was having diarrhea last month--too much, so took her to the vet. The vet discovered her gumline was quite red, tested a fecal sample (no worms) and tested her for Feline Leukenia and...

Regarding Frontline Spray: I now use the spray because I just cannot afford the between-the-shoulders drops now that I have 6 cats to dose. My vet showed me how to spray them by ruffling their fur. No I do not like spraying them and No they don't like it. But once outside the spray dries fast...

Black under the chin? It could be feline acne. I had never heard of it until this summer when my indoor cat that is a biter looked like she had some dried food on her chin under her lower lip. Because she is such a terrible biter, I ignored it, but then noticed it was bigger, and finally...

Thanks to all who wrote in about the efficacy of those microwave disks. Yesterday I ordered two of them to start with. I plan to create pockets in an old comforter and lay them on something thick so the heat doesn't dissapear onto the floor. I too was concerned about the heat source being too...

Thank you so much for your reply. I do think I will start with 2 of the discs. I discovered that they are a lot cheaper at Revival Care than at Drs. Foster/Smith. Now that I have good advice, I look forward to exploring this forum and finding answers already online. And thanks for the...

Thank you so much! Between you and several other people who say the disks work, I will go ahead and order them. I replied to another person that straw is such a good insulator that I think these disks, placed in pockets in an old comforter, will stay warm pretty long. The space they are in is...

Hay is a wonderful insulator, so it was so good to hear that the microwave disks do work. They might start to lose their heat a little sooner. I had already purchased a thrift shop comfortor and my plan was to make at least 4 pockets in it to hold the disks. The floor has a rug plus towels...

Thanks so much and I will look into rice bags! Leann (I'm such a novice that when I wanted to edit, I inadvertently sent a second post on the same subject and now don't know how to delete it, so did write the webmaster!)

Hello fellow cat lovers! I am a new member, don't use the internet much except to read my favorite newspaper, and this is the first forum of any kind I have used. I hope to get help from those of you who have lots of experience raising cats, because I am a novice, especially at raising outdoor...

I hope those of you in either rural settings or urban settings who have outdoor cats in cold climates can help me. I live in a small rural town and last winter fed a lovable stray. Enjoyed her so much that I decided to adopt her even though it turned out she was pregnant. I have an indoor...
