Thank you!

I can't express how happy I am to have found this site. Everyone is so friendly, supportive, and helpful, and there's so much great advice and experience here! Thanks for putting together such a great community!! And hello from Southwest Missouri

That's so awesome . Cats really are amazing creatures .

I am wondering if maybe this kind of behavior might be more common in outdoor cats than indoor cats, because none of the indoor cats I've ever had (and my mother raised Siamese cats when I was growing up) would consider such a thing. They would get really twitchy if any other cats came near...

Thanks. I know I'm trying. The thing that's really getting under my skin right now is this: On Saturday my husband first brought the kitten in to the vet's office. There are 3 vets who work in that office. The first vet who saw the kitten said he was just constipated, probably because he wasn't...

I'm just curious about some behavior I've noticed in a group of strays that have been caring for on our property. I've noticed that the adult females will nurse each others' kittens. Like, swapping kittens from mother to mother. I have seen at least one of the adult females who did not have...

We had to have the little guy put down . He just wasn't in any shape to handle surgery and still make it, and she said there was no chance of him getting better. She agreed with me that he had probably swallowed a string or something similar, that had wound up in his insides. I feel horribly...

They have not yet been wormed, because as I said, we're not quite positive of their ages. We *think* they're about 5-6 weeks old, but their mother disappeared for some time so we aren't exactly sure when they were born. The other kittens from the litter seem in perfect health, their gums are a...

Also, I should probably clarify something. None of these stray kittens ever go back out to the wild after we catch them. Once we catch them, we tame/socialize them (it's remarkably easy for me to tame down feral kittens, I have no idea why) and find them homes locally. We've been trying for some...

We are heading up to the vet as soon as someone gets home with a car :s. My husband is a substitute teacher, and doesn't get home until after 3:30pm. The woman I talked to on the phone at the vet's office suggested a mild laxative they can give us over the counter, but now I'm even more...

update: a little while ago, the little guy threw up. the vomit actually smelled like poo. I thought maybe he had actually pooed but he had it on his face/chin,so I realized what had happened. I found this pretty distressing, however, the knotted areas in his abdomen do not seem to be as rigid as...

We have used both powdered and canned. In fact we had some premixed that came in a box (like a juice box) that had electrolytes in it that they seemed to like quite a bit. We mostly use the powdered because then we don't have to worry about open containers in the fridge that may not stay good...

I posted this in the pregnant cat/kitten care forum also, but then realized it might go better here: Let me start off by saying that we have a large number of stray cats that hang around our property (people have a bad habit of dumping animals near our house) that we try to take care of, on top...

Let me start off by saying that we have a large number of stray cats that hang around our property (people have a bad habit of dumping animals near our house) that we try to take care of, on top of the household pets we have, so I will probably be posting here a lot. One of the stray mothers...
