Hi, My cat Monty is 7 and three years ago he had the P-u surgery for blockage due to struvite crystals. I had him on the vet recommended food (can't remember what it was now) but Monty quickly got tired of it and refused to eat it. He is now eating the regular commercial food either Purina One...

One of my cats is going to eat himself into an early grave if I don't stop his eating behavior right now! "Harley" is approx. 2 years old, a neutered male, who was a feral up until last year when I rescued him and brought him home to my other 2 cats. My other two cats are normal weight. I leave...

First of all I have 3 socialized ferals but the first two were caught as kittens. The last one I have is a 2 year old who's name is Harley. He's been home with me since Oct. '06. He's very friendly to me and my DH and has turned out to be a lap cat, except I think he still yearns for the great...

I've been doing some container gardening on my terrace. One of my cats, Zena wanted to go out and smell the flowers and found the day lily to her liking, thinking it looked like cat grass. I caught her taking a chomp out of it and got her away from it. I brought her back into the house where she...

Hello. I live in Chicago. There is a house nearby (rather run down) the residents have a cat, he's a male, not neutered and I doubt he has any vaccinations. They are letting this cat out a lot now (its warm weather now) I've seen him stalk birds and he almost got hit by a car the other day...

Harley's ears are full of brown/black icky wax I've diagnosed as ear mites. I've used 3 treatments of an OTC product called Four Paws ear mite remedy but still the black/brown stuff keeps coming up and he's scratching and shaking his head every day. I also have 2 other cats and the oldest girl...

I posted a while back with behavior problems. I'm not sure it's improving...maybe. My cat Monty (neutered male 5 yrs) and the new cat (Harley- approx. 2 yrs neutered male still don't get along. It's mainly Monty who comes in Harley's room and stalks Harley - who backs off into a corner. Monty...

Hi, I posted recently on what I thought was a gum problem in my cat Harley. It is actually on his bottom lip. (I wish I could take a picture of it and post it here) There is a sore on his bottom lip that looks like a little bump. He's had this for a few days now. He does not have sores anywhere...

I recently noticed Harley has a little swelling - sort of like a boil on his lower gum. It does not look like pus is in there...just a swelling like I get at times - I get ginvingitis but it goes away after flossing and swishing Listerine. Naturally I can't use any such thing on a cat. He is not...

I've had Harley for almost 3 months. In the 3 months he's progressed beautifully from a hissing spitting feral to one where I can pet now with my bare hands and today I looked into his mouth and at his teeth. I noticed his gums are rather pale and I'm wondering if he's anemic. He does seem to...

This morning while petting my 12 yr old cat Zena I felt a scar forming from a bite injury - its between her shoulders. Zena is strictly indoor which means my cat Monty attacked her and bit her..(he plays very rough - stalks her and pounces on her like prey) I had a couple of cat bites myself...

Ok, in an effort to introduce my newbie Harley to resident Monty we bought a tall pet gate thats 44" and put it in the doorway in Harley's room. Monty (the aggressor) was sitting on the other side and I hoped Harley would just come and sniff Monty and get themselves used to each other. For some...

Ok, to make a long story short. When I was feeding Harley outside I bought an outside shelter from IndyFeral.org and somehow had it in my mind to put it outside somewhere near my condo...then I found out the area is beeing monitored by cameras...theres more...but to make the story short I have...

Here's my problem...I'm trying to integrate my feral (he's semi feral at this stage) into the household with 2 other resident cats. One of the resident cats is an alpha male who has torn the carpeting to shreds trying to get into the room where the feral is staying. Harley (my feral) is ready...

My little feral guy Harley (trapped/neutered/vaccinated 1 mo. ago) has made some progress - eating in my presence, using the litter box, playing with me. He lays down and rolls over and swats the feather toys BUT he won't come out of my closet. He comes out at night when we're sleeping and the...

How do I insert an picture of my cat? I have pictures in the 'my documents' section of my computer. When I go to the insert image icon there is a http:// and I have no idea how to find my picture. Sorry I'm so stupid.

It's been 2 weeks past trapping, neutering, etc. He's in my spare bedroom. I think I'm starting to see some progress. Yesterday I fed him and he moved the paper bowl as he was eating and it got an inch away from my legs but he still kept on eating! After eating he just walked around and...

I'll try to make a long story short...about 2 weeks ago I trapped a homeless stray (possibly feral) had him neutered, shots, tested for FIV, FEL, etc., and brought him into my home- in my spare bedroom where I'm trying to socialize him. He's very hissy to me and I don't pick him up or pet him...

As you know I've trapped a feral cat last week who is now hiding in my closet. He's eating, using the litter box, but only coming out of the closet at night (we can hear him from our bedroom) He's fixed, shots, etc. Now we have 2 other cats and I need to eventually introduce the cats to each...

Ok, as an update to my captured feral. He went to the vet today, got neutered, de-flea/ear mite, rabies, distemper shot. Now the animal tech told me I have to bring him back in 2 week for a second distemper shot. I don't think I will be able to do this! I will try to socialize him, but it may...
