    Questions Regarding an Overgrown Nail

     clip my cats nails every two week and haven't had a problem. Yesterday when I went to clip them I found that he as 1 overgrown nail. It looks as if it hasn't been clipped in months!! It did NOT get into the pad, but close! His nails are light colored and it looks like the quick is all the way...

    No, you didn't scare me away! It's just so hard emotionally to not be able to just scoop him up and take him to a vet! I don't work and have VERY limited income. The vet my daughter uses is not a fan of ferals. I don't know why but he won't see them or (after we explained) order meds. I have...

    Question...or two! Pompom seems to have his eyes closed most of the time. He does have some dark colored discharge. Even if it's not totally sunny, he will sit there with them shut. I talk to him the whole time I stand out there and tonight he meowed a lot. He opens his eyes and looks at me...

    Thanks. I think I might do it closer to the ground. I know I sound like a worry wart but it bothers me that when we leave, he won't be taken care of. It is a long way off, but time flies! We are leaving next summer. The neighbors that know about him aren't interested in feeding/caring for him...

    I am friendly with the neighbor and she would approach me before she ever tried to do something herself. It seems they have only soiled the room that has windows facing our house. Plus her screened-in porch. She has shut them out of the room and they haven't gone on the porch. A fence wouldn't...

    Well, I think Pompom may be causing issues with my neighbors cats! She has 2  indoor only cats and they have recently began peeing/spraying after seeing Pompom in their yard. It seems to be that side of the house that he feels safe/comfortable in. That's where his log pile is. we are at the end...

    I give him his food and step away about 10 ft. There is a fence so I just lean against it and he will go to the dish to eat. Slowly I have been able to move to about 4-5 ft from the bowl. Any closer and he will retreat to the top of the logs. I am not rushing it. It talk to him from the moment I...

    MsAimee, his eyes are a beautiful blue when they are open! He has had  dark 'eye goop' under one eye about 80% of the time. He doesn't usually keep both eyes closed like in the photos. I will check him again when I go out to feed him this morning. I know a year is a long time, but it will go by...

    OK when I went out to give him his evening food, he seems like he is having a problems with his eye(s). One side has 'eye goop' but he prefers keeping both closed. I took a couple more pics but the coloring is a bit off. He is more cream colored but looks white in the photos. His face is not...

    These are not great pics but the best ones I have right now. I will take more. He lives in  the wood pile. I feed him on the tree stump. We don't live on a base. And we have lots of trees and other wild animals that come around at night. If he was abandoned, it had to be when he was very...

    Thanks for the replies! Since I have begun feeding/watering him, he has come out in the open a bit more. He used to just stay in his wood pile. Now he ventures out a bit and though I will change his feeding place, he can be seen just about anywhere. He was around for quite a while before our...

    We have gorgeous feral cat that is living in a log pile in our yard. When we first saw him about 2-3 months ago, he looked BAD. Scraggly, skinny, he could barely walk. We began feeding him and he looks a LOT better now! He is scared of humans. I am concerned about the winter weather and have...

    Worried About Cat's Health During a Long Car Trip...Advice Please

    Some great ideas, thanks, but Semper if a weird cat! He will not eat treats, or wet food or even 'human' food (chicken, tuna, etc). He doesn't play either. He is outside all day, wanders in and out, and then comes in after dinner for the night. It's tough because he has nothing that he thinks...
