This is a "playing it forward" for a kind person on this board who shared this website and a coupon code with me a few years ago...
EntirelyPets.com, which sells Feliway at cheaper prices than any other vendor I've found (if there are cheaper ones out there, please feel free to post & let us...
Yeah, I had one who did that and it was a clear commentary for canned food she had decided (on that day) was unfit for feline consumption and was simply NOT going to eat. I always found it really annoying that she would draw such a clear connection between that high price premium food I was...
My vet said to stay away from the stuff in gravy, I *think* (it has been several years now, so I'm going on iffy memory) because of the chemicals needed to keep all the different components suspended/integrated.
One of mine really likes to lick rather than chew, so I add a bit of hot water to...
Folks might want to check with their shelter, too. My girls came pre-chipped from the shelter and they sent home a form with me to fill out. The form said a fee had to be submitted, but the shelter sent separate instructions indicating the fee was paid and to be careful not to pay twice. I...
I've wondered the same and I think I've used both and I don't know that I've been able to tell any difference in cat behavior. I definitely like one price better tnan the other. I wish I knew what any supposed difference was.
LDG & JTbo - love the idea of the cardboard & bait path. I didn't think walking on the wires looked very cat friendly, but my trapper expert has trapped over 2000 cats and she set it up, but I'll try that - there is way too much sniffing around and not going in for my taste. Thank you!
I'm new to the world of TNR. I've got a lovely lady from the local rescue league helping with the hard stuff (transporting, as I really can't have a ticked off feral peeing all over the back of my car), but I do understand the sense of victory when one is caught and you know there's one less...
ASPCA has an animal poison control number - pretty sure I've got it on a magnet on my fridge. There's a fee for consultation, but at least it is on an as-needed basis, rather than paying for a Home Again service that one hopefully doesn't need. The ASPCA service is 24/7/365.
Here's a link...
I, too, appreciate the feedback here. I just started feeding & sheltering some (?) stray(s) - I'm not really sure how many are dining, though only one seems to have taken up residence in the shelter I put out for cold weather.
My plan is to contact a local TNR group and have them help me out...
Interesting. Mine started rejecting Wellness a few months ago, too, after eating it peaceably for a long time. I thought they'd just gotten sick of it and needed a break, but maybe not.
Could you put out just a little kibble that has been misted & sprinkled with the powder and let your kitty eat it all before giving more?
I had to give it on dry food to mine and it worked out fine with misting the kibble and letting it stick. She got more kibble later after she ate most all...
I'll second the Feliway diffuser suggestion. I have 3 running now to help keep peace between my 2 girls. I got the kitties at the same time and they had been fostered together (with other cats in that home as well) and their foster mom said they got along fine, but, whew, they didn't do well...
The Animal Rescue Site Store usually has window decals, too, though I couldn't find them at the moment. The main store page, though, is here:
https://shop.theanimalrescuesite.com....do?siteId=310
And purchases help support shelter animals, so it is a good cause!
I'm a Wellness fan. My last cat would only pick at food (especially canned, though she was also rather picky about kibble) until I found Wellness -- she would also vomit her food pretty often. Once we started Wellness, the vomiting all but ended and there was never any effort to get her to eat...
I go to an accredited clinic -- they are a wellness clinic as well as having an emergency element to them. I do like some of the vets there better than others, but I've not had a bad experience per se with any of them in terms of their caring/bedside manner -- first vets I've ever had who...
I had a long talk with my vet about disease spread after I started volunteering at my local animal shelter. I was concerned about clothing, shoes, etc. bringing disease home to my girls. My vet was for many years a shelter vet and she said she encountered ALL kinds of diseases there and never...
I meow at mine *all* the time. I have one big talker & we'll go back & forth sometimes dozens of times -- and not even always when wer're in the same room. It amuses my niece & nephew endlessly to see Aunt Crazy talking *with* the cat. My super verbal one has been from the start; my other one...
