    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    wanted to send an exciting update!!  Last night she used her cat house for the first time and she is in it right now, this morning!!  The reason is the heating pad that we call her tuffet!  She loves it and I think lives on it.  Thank you so much for suggesting this great item - it has made a...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    Good point -there is only one exist.  we are using the design that makes use of a rubbermaid crate - I'm not sure we can cut a second opening in this one - would have to get something much bigger.  But I'll look again it is raining today and she is no where around - so maybe she has gone back...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    so far no go!! She will stay on the heating pad all day and night if it is next to the box, but put it in the box and she won't make that extra step. It is suppose to rain for the next three days - the pad is in the box and I'm going to control myself and leave it there!  But if she refuses by...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    Thought I'd send an update! She is going into her house - but only to eat.  She is not afraid of it, she happily goes in with her whole body to munch on food, but will not sleep in it. We are having 20 degree nights.  I did get her to go into the basement the other night but it is erratic. We...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    I was out early this morning walking the Dachshund and who do I see leisurely coming out of her house - Mamma Cat herself.  She wouldn't come into the basement last night and I was concerned because we had a hard frost overnight - guess it was enough to get her to use the house.  The heating pad...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    UPDATE!! well we weren't as lucky as we hoped.  She will go into the box to eat, but not to sleep. So she isn't afraid of it at least Last night was miserable - wet, cold, rainy.  She was hanging out near the basement door so I opened it up and put the food a few feet indoors.  I've been...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    Thank you - we can't stand seeing anything in need, we are a real soft touch - word must be out in the cat neighborhood.  We were adopted by a grey male this summer who was obviously an indoor cat.  He was neutered, kept trying to walk into the house with us etc.  He was very thin and obviously...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    I'll have to look at the size of the can - I don't think she is the only one eating all the food- she eats a bit then she comes back a couple of hours and eats some more.  The crows take some if I don't run them off but I'm not around all the time. And she may not be as fat as I think - she is...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    I wish we could - she is completely feral.  In nine years she has never let me put a finger on her.  We used a humane trap to catch her to spay her, I could do that again. She is eating very well, actually she is a bit fat :), and smart - very smart cat.  She uses her color to melt out of sight...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    Hi She is at least nine years old, I put out one can of cat food 2-3 times a day.  I feed her on our front porch, we've found raccoons head into the garage when we put the food out there (it is a detached garage, about 50 ft from the house).  There is a long time male that comes around (we...

    It's getting cold and I'm worried

    Hi We look after a female feral cat and have for many many years.  We trapped her a few years ago and had her tested (she is negative for FIV and F.Leuk) and had her spayed, then we let her back out.  We live in the middle of nowhere and she never moves far away from the house and garage.  We...
