    My cat, Conor

    I started posting here on the Cat Site about a year ago when the husband I took in a litter of feral kittens. The people over in the feral cat care section really helped us to socialize them and the past year has been just great. But, on Sunday, one of the cats - Conor - started to breath...

    Conor, the feral Irish cat

    Hello all. I haven't posted on here in a long time - things were very hectic and nearly all my internet based communication fell to the wayside. Briefly, to recap, my husband and I took in three feral kittens just over a year ago - Paddington, Steve and Conor. Things have been going very...

    The Irish feral kittens (now cats!): An update

    Hello all! Apologies for not updating in a while. Things have been very busy (internet down, vacation, school starting up again) but I just wanted to say that the Irish feral kittens we took in nearly 8 months ago are doing great. They are happy, healthy and energetic little things that make...

    Wet food problems...advice?

    Okay. So, I think we are going to have some trouble with the higher quality wet food we are going to get, so I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice. Here goes the tale... Since we got the kittens (took them in off the street), we have been free-feeding them high quality dry food and...

    Weird litter box behaviour....

    Okay, this is just weird. I clean out the litter boxes two times a day - in the morning and right before bed. We have three 8 month old kittens and they have always been very interested in my cleaning routine, but in the past two weeks, one of them has just become far too obsessed! My...

    Out of cat food...temporary solution?

    Okay, so I went to the pet shop today and they are out of the cat food I normally buy. Ah. I spoke to the guy who owns the place, as I was worried that meant that they were going to stop stocking it, but no - they are just waiting for the shipment to come in over from England (it is a small...

    You've come a long way, babies!

    Three months ago, the husband and I took in three feral kittens that were hanging around outside our house. We weren't sure if they were ever going to fully adjust to life in our house, but within a short period of time, they have adapted and are happy, healthy domestic cats. The husband...

    Advice wanted - kittens to cat food?

    Hello all. Just a quick question. I have had some differing advice (as always!) and wanted to get your take on it. We have three semi-feral kittens who have been living with us for just over two months. They are about 7 months old and have all been altered (the boys were just done last week...

    Semi-ferals in Ireland....then and now!

    So, about two months ago, my husband and I took in three feral kittens that had been living outside our house. They have come along leaps and bounds and we are so happy to have them living here (I have a thread in the caring for ferals section if you want the whole story!). Anyway, I was...

    Spaying feral kittens

    Hello all...I thought about posting this question in general health, but since my questions are related specifically to the nature of semi-ferals, I thought I would post it here! So, as I have mentioned in another thread on here, the first of our three semi-feral kittens is going in for her...

    Irish kittens - link to photo album

    Hello all! I am a relative newbie (in all senses - new to the site and new kitten owner). My husband and I took in three semi-ferals a few weeks ago, and I wanted to post some photos of them. Their names are Paddington, Conor and Niamh (named long ago when we first started seeing them - we...

    Feral kittens in Ireland - rescued last night

    I have spent the morning reading through this thread (and many other feral kitten threads) and just wanted to put my situation out there for advice (and encouragement!). I know a lot of this is touched on in other threads, and I am really, really grateful for everything on here, but I am...
