I have an emergency! I have posted this at other forums last night and still dont have any replies.I know from shooping around the people here have the most experience with cats. So here is my question... I took my kitten (Lilly 6 months) to be fixed on November 3rd. I took her to a low cost...

My mom adopted a 13 year old Siamese/himalaya mix cat last year. (The original owner passed away) When this cat came to her it could easily have weighed 25 pounds. She was a huge cat! (Yes she goes to the vet for regular check-ups, and is free of any parasites or illness) This is what my mom...

I am stareing this aditional thread because I really want input on this subject. I am sure alot of you know but I will breifly tell the situation. My cat just had kittens, four of them, last sunday. I posted them on pet finder for adoption at the end of january. I wanted to post them early so...

Ok I guess I have another question, actually two. 1. Is it possible that becuase my kittens are fathered by a feral cat they could be slightly...i dont know how to say it...feral themselves I guess? The reson I ask is becuase they hiss, quite a bit, in their sleep, when you touch them, I...

I am sending you a hug Hissy! As you may know I have a daughter that age, I would be so incredibly scared! I will keep your family in my prayers!

Kittens will be kittens! Hopefully they will grow out of it some day. My cats were never intended to go outside. However as soon as they were about 6 months I guess they really wanted to go out all the time! I thought it was very strange becuase they didnt even know what outside was. Well the...

Hi julia! Cats generally are not that hard to care for in my experience. As long as you keep them healthy and love them. There are some easy chores (litter box, feeding, dangleing the ocasional string) but nothing to hard. I really hope you can become comfortable with your cat. I have such a...

I still dont have a camera yet, so I cant post pictures! I feel so left out. I just want to give credit to my babys, Minnie is almost an all black cat, just a smear of white on her toe and on her tummy. Lilly however is totally and completely black. The other day a salesman came to the door...

Thank you so much for your help everyone. I am trying so hard to catch the kitten to be able to take him to get fixed. I am making progress. Today, I saw him in the yard and went out with some food. I sat right by the food pan and wouldnt move. I was very quietly talking to him. He growled...

I do not have any medical advice to offer you, I wish I did. I just wanted to send you a big hug! Ii is so hard to lose someone we love. You just feel helpless! You sound like you loved your kitty very much, and I am sure she knows you love her. She had a long and happy life. I wish I could say...

I saw the little feral kitten agian. He seems to be all alone alot. I wonder if something happened to mom. I have been trying to get him comfortable with me, but it seems to be impossible. I think the kids being around me make him nervous. I did give him some food tonight, so he should be more...

I am very confused! I called the vet this morning to find out how much the first shots would be for my kittens. The vet said I should get rid of the kittens at 6 weeks and did not need to get them first shots. This was my vet that my cats go to. She also said I could get them temporary shots at...

no thats all, the last one was born at 10:30 last night. She has been up and eating this morning. This is her first litter so we have all been on pins and needles! This is also the last babies of any kind that will be born in our imediate family (until grandkids way in the future!) so we are...

I have been visiting TCS for about a week now. I not only have learned so many things about the cats in the woods behind my house. I also have learned alot of great things about my own cats. I know I ramble on sometimes (one of my personality flaws) so I will try to keep this short. I just...

I have been doing more research than ever on feral cat colonys in the last week. I had no idea what a widespread problem this really is! I just read samoa's story today. I cried for that poor cat. I wish somehow I could get the cats(that live in my woods) to understand how much I just want to...

I just talked to my Mike (my husband) about adopting Panther. He really liked him to, but doesnt think its a good time to bring a new cat into the house with Minnie about to have the kittens. I guess he is right, even though I hosted thoughts of going and getting Panther without telling him! I...

I have a question, my cats, Minnie and Jerry, have a blanket that has been theirs since they were babys. They love to curl up in it and nurse away. They dig with their paws and everything. It never bothers me. I think it is kinda cute. The other day my cousin told me it is a sighn of...

I checked out a great book from the library yesturday! It is called "A Feline Afair, by Elaine Wenner Gilbertson." It somewhat intended for purebred cat owners. However I found it very informative all around. There is a section an breeding and birthing of kittens that is so great. It walks...

When I got Minnie and Jerry at 3 weeks old ( their mother had been killed) I got them from a situation much like you described. My husband works with a guy who lives on a farm and has alot of neglected animals. They all live in conditions like you describe. Before I had decided I wanted a...
