    Spooky is missing!

    Our sweet little Spooky was last seen on Sat. 4/25 - which we estimate to have been his 1st birthday! He is a neutered male and doesn't wander from home, but we have no trace of him! He's solid black and our minds are going crazy thinking the worst. Our other three cats miss him so much (as...

    Pretend Spraying?

    Two of my males - Winky (2 1/2 yrs) and Spooky (10 mos) - seem to be "pretend spraying". They'll back up, wiggle the tail, etc - with no liquid. They were both neutered at about 6 mos. My third male - Sandy (Winky's bro) - does not display this behavior. However, there are several...

    Cats won't accept new kitten!

    About two months ago, a stray kitten decided his new home was our front porch. This is fine with the human family members, but our three former ferals (2 1/2 years, came to our yard with their mama at about 6 weeks old) don't like it one bit! There's no fighting, just intimidation with "the...

    Dark spot on eye?

    My cat, Winky, has a dark brown/red spot (blotch) on his left eye. I noticed this problem yesterday - at first I thought his pupil was dialated, but then noticed it was a dark spot on the eye (cornea?). Both pupils are the same size as they usually are. Has anyone experienced this problem...

    Is it Ear Mites?

    One of my three cats, Sandy, has recently started scratching his ears ALOT. In the last two days he has removed fur, and has tiny red sores on the outside. He has tiny, but visible, brown-ish spots on the outside as well, but the inside looks fairly clean. Does this sound familiar to anyone...

    Vaccinations - is annual necessary?

    My three cats are due for their annual vaccinations this month. But, I've read so many conflicting reports that "annual" may not be necessary? Any input would be greatly appreciated! If vaccines aren't really "necessary" this year, I'd like to save them the trauma of the whole experience...

    How to encourage neighbors to spay/neuter/feed their pets?!

    I live near an apartment complex which is currently a "kitty city". Neighbors have come and gone leaving cats behind. These cats, as well as current pets, have parented numerous litters. Many of these cats and kittens visit my porch looking for food (of course I can't not give them some!) I...

    Can't pick her up?!

    I have three 13-mo-old litter mates who were born feral. They came to my yard at approx. 6-8 weeks old. Since then, I've had great success taming them. They all come to me when called, all love to be pet, and my two neutered males love to be held and cuddled. However, my spayed female...

    Does my kitty need a therapist?!

    My neutered/vaccinated male, Sandy, has always been a nervous cat, but he's progressively gotten worse over the past few months. His story: Sandy, and his brother and sister, came to our yard with their Mama as ferals almost a year ago (he is now approx. 13 mos. old). They were all so wild...

    Semi-feral won't let me pick her up!

    I have three 10-month-old litter mates who started their lives as ferals. Since mid-June, 07, I've worked on taming them. I've had great success with my two males, Sandy and Winky, but only marginal success with my female, Faylene. She'll come when I call her, I can pet her, she enjoys begin...

    Hi TCS!

    Hi! In mid-June 2007, a feral Mama cat and her three tiny kittens appeared in our yard. We had recently lost our Moocher (who was owned by a neighbor two houses down but preferred to live on our porch) and were considering getting a new kitty (or one that would officially be ours). I guess the...

    Post-neuter behavior problem?

    My 9-month-old orange tabby Sandy was neutered four days ago. Since then his behavior has changed. He's fussy with his litter mates (one male/one female), but he's become very clingy to me. BUT, right now he's hiding in our boat and won't come out! He's in a tiny location that we can't...
