    Poop problems!

    They're indoor/outdoor out here (they're all fixed, and we live in the country - more cats keep coming to adopt us!) - and there's been no spats at all for a while, they've even started snuggling. We did have him separated already - the 5 days in the large cage bit - and really the only thing I...

    Poop problems!

    Well, I'm still having no luck with the little guy. We were able to borrow a large cage and put it in our basement near the other litter boxes - this cage was big enough for a large litter box, a sleeping pad, and an eating area. We kept him in there for five days (with regular visitations)...

    Poop problems!

    Thanks very much! I forgot to mention that I do usually use Nature's Miracle, though it didn't occur to me to toss some into the washing machine when I washed the bathroom rug - I'll do that! I'll continue to monitor him over the next few weeks, and look for those other options you mentioned.

    Poop problems!

    We live in the country, and over the last year and a half, two cats have "adopted" us - they started wandering into our house and making themselves at home. We have five other cats, aside from the two walk-ins. All are spayed/neutered (the two walk-ins were neutered once they were comfortable...

    Litter training a stray...

    We've taken in a stray who spends more time in our house than out of it, and always goes outside to do his business (thanks to the cat door). We've finally got the money together to get him fixed, and he's going in tomorrow. A few times we've tried trapping him in a room for up to 24 hours to...

    Rural Cat issues

    My husband and I (and our seven cats) have lived in our rural house for over a year and a half. As our cats were primarily indoor cats (with an enclosed outside run) when we lived in the city, we took several months to acclimate them to the rural setting. They've all taken a shine to it, loving...

    Rural stray - winter coming

    Great news! He's almost as friendly as he was earlier this summer, and he's been hanging around inside longer before taking off. We're at the point where we're going to be able to move around him (carefully) without spooking him, to close the door - but we want to give him a few more days before...

    Rural stray - winter coming

    I think Truder answered for himself yesterday, too - we had propped the front door open, and within five minutes of us sitting quietly, he was inside and eating like crazy! Now to find a trap, because he's still too skittish for us to be able to close the door behind him

    Rural stray - winter coming

    My husband, our seven cats, and I moved into our rural house in January of last year. We first started seeing glimpses of Truder (short for intruder) about a year ago, and figured him for a neighbor's cat - we didn't have any close contact with him at this point. This spring, our cats decided...

    Hello from Saskatchewan!

    My name's Janice, and the cats are: Beavis, Podkayne, Ike, Mooper, Igele, Mr. Muffinstealer, and Mishka. They range in age from about four to nearly eight. The eight of us (plus my husband!) live in rural Saskatchewan, which means the kitties are able to enjoy the wonderful outdoors without...
