    Should I bring a new kitten into my house?

    Well I've gotten all the cats 'round here TNR'd and found new homes for three of the cats I trapped that were tame enough, and a litter of four kittens. And GOSH and golly, right now I miss those kittens. I wanted to keep one but told myself not too because, well, I knew I'd just fallen in love...

    Weird problem when trapping...

    Well, there is one orange cat around here, a female who I already had spayed, etc. She is extremely feral, lunges from the trap, etc. I supply cat food, but on the nights I put out my trap I take it away. The last three times I have set up my trap, the same orange female has been in it. I've...

    The worst thing I have ever done to a cat

    The worst things I've done to Raven are: Sat on her. Yes I know it sounds wacky, but I honestly didn't see her. She loves to sleep curled in a little ball on the black chair in front of the computer, and since she is a pure black cat she blends in well. I was leaving for a local fair where my...

    You see/hear of tons of dogs that wear cute outfits, but I've never seen a dressed up their cat besides my own. Raven has a halloween shirt, a winter sweater and I plan to buy her more clothes in the future; she just looks so cute! Does anyone else dress up their cat(s)? Do your cats hate it...

    Caring for my Feral/Stray cats...Am I doing this properly?

    Thank you for the carrier suggestion! And here I was wondering how I was going to fit the dog kennels in my car... I admit to confusion on the socilization issue. Half the stuff I read says if you get a kitten over 6 weeks they are impossible to tame, the other half says any age can be tamed...

    Orphaned kitten update(piccy!)

    I wish I could keep all of them! But unfortunatly with a horse, two dogs, two goats, a cat, a cockatiel, the amphibians and arachnids in my brothers room and several fish tanks, combined with a low income at the moment, and me just starting school, I can only keep one. I knew this when I first...

    Orphan kittens

    Its great that you're taking care of them! They are both absolutely adorable, isn't it great(although exausting) to be a kitten "meowmy"? I'm raising four orphans right now, three from the same litter I've raised since they were a few hours old, the other since she was four weeks. Now the litter...

    A few questions about how to trap a feral.

    I live in a rural area, next to woods, medium sized. I occaisionally see cats around, but I'm not sure if they are ferals, or simply cats that owners let outdoors(very common in the country). However there is one cat I am certain is feral, she is a HUGE solid orange with a white tip on her tail...

    TV time and cheap toys!

    Raven loves to sit on the couch with me and watch TV. She loves the shows about Big Cats. Just this evening we watched a show on leopards and cheetahs. She LOVED the cheetahs, whenever one came on screen her head would go up and her ears pricked. The show was an hour long, and she watched it the...
