I feel for you - and anyone else that is having problems with this! A lot of my cats (12 - all rescues) are just lovey-dovey until it's time for the flea treatment!  Then all of a sudden they turn into Sherlock Holmes somehow, figure out that my petting them seems to be on the back of the neck...

I am having a similar problem - I may need to start a new post.  My littlest kitty (Callie Zoe) is 1 1/2 years old - not a kitten but the littlest kitty in the house - and is around 5 lbs. All the other cats are larger than her (even her litter sister is about twice her size). The problem is...

Some of these postings have made me feel a little better (not much though). I just had 2 cats fixed yesterday at a low cost spay/neuter clinic in our area. I just had a good look at them this morning (hiding) and the clnic clipped their ears! I am mad about it because they didn't even ask. I've...

She is absolutely adorable - there's nothing like a kitten to bring out the maternal instincts in us! The smell of baby fur, their antics as they learn to play are so funny! We have five kittens and watching them together is hilarious! I found out there is a free spay neuter traveling bus...

How adorable! 

I'm absolutely thrilled about your new baby and the wonderful care you're giving her! We got one of our kitties (the one in my picture) when she was 3 weeks old - she got bottle fed, carried, her little hind-end washed and spoiled rotten because she was the only kittie at the time! She is a...

Oh, no - no spraying for natural instinct behavior! Plus, this kitten is way too small to be punishing for anything. There's lots of ways to deter bad behavior without spraying them with water!

It seems that a lot of people on here are just telling you to move on and find another cat - either they're taking that attitude to help you or I'm finding it hard to believe that they've bonded with their kitties! If I gave up any of mine only to find out I could have kept him/her, I too would...

Hi All - Thanks for all the good advice and well wishings!  I forgot to put in my thread that I am planning on having the toddlers spayed/ neutered. The bravest toddler is a boy and that is the one wanting to "play" with his youngest brother/sister. He is the one that comes up to me and lets me...

Hi Everyone - I've run into a situation where I'm not sure exactly what to do.  Three weeks ago, I trapped a pregnant semi-feral cat. She was huge! That was on July 2nd. I brought her to a vacant mobile home that we have (very cozy actually with central air, tv, all the amenities). She had been...

A vet may prescribe steroid eye drops for the runny eye. He/she may also suggest L-Lysine as an additive to their food - it's an amino acid (comes in a tube and you can mix it with their food) that boosts their immune system.  We rescued 3 kittens, 2 healthy and 1 with a very bad respiratory...

I don't like your "idea" of not feeding him - all kitties need help with food regardless of whether you think they should hang around your house or not! I cannot stand to see an animal go hungry - shame on you!

They are absolutely precious! I've started rescuing some cats around our house - it all started when a Momma Kitty moved her kittens down to us (she was living at an abandoned house - the people who owned the house would feed her once a day but it was just dry food and not much of it). She moved...

To "almostthere" about the cat urinating on the carpet but landlord accepts dogs - dog people always try to convince themselves that dogs are clean and cats are dirty. My experience is that the cats are the clean ones - mine always uses the litter box. However, I wash rugs, mop up pee and am...

I'd go ahead and get her to the vet for spaying and a check-up (shots, etc.). I'd also build (or buy) her an insulated shelter and place it close to where she usually sleeps so maybe she'll start using the shelter. All that being said, I'd definitely take her with you. Taking care of a cat, even...

To Clyn11 - you are an angel for rescuing these precious babies! I didn't hear a bell tinkle but you got your wings!

I had some good luck with canned mackerel - stinks to high heaven but they love it! I chopped it up pretty good for them and they think it's the food of the cat gods!

Hi All - Sorry it's been a while but I've been taking care of cats, kittens and puppy!  I feel like I no sooner get the last one fed than it's time to start all over again. Momma Kitty did get spayed last Wednesday and I picked her up late Wednesday afternoon.  I had gotten our empty mobile home...

Absolutely wonderful story - I love hearing that cats have found their forever home with patient, loving, 2-legged's! My cats (they are really our cats, mine and my husband's, but I'm the true cat lover/adorer/rescuer) have me wrapped around their paws and I wouldn't have it any other way!  They...

I like the shelters that Feral Villa has - a lot. I may wind up ordering one from them and working on the freezer idea on the side. I'll check the urban cat league site too! I had forgotten about the freeon but I can have that evacuated and the coils removed. I don't know how much insulation is...
