Hi Sukina.  Over the last 9 months I have been dealing with a very large clan of feral kittens, all of whom, initially, fled from humans.  I have not tried the Tellington Touch method, but from the TT video it looks like it is something you use on an animal that is already happy to sit stil and...

My feral kittens are 11 months old, and I still have to make sure to close, cover, or protect anything I do not want them to get into.  Nevertheless they still find amazing ways to get themselves into trouble. In case it may give you some ideas, here is one thing that I did a couple of months...

I agree with Lesliecat about the idea of a separate room, and with Callista about the idea of hiding spots. Of the three ferals (11 mos.) who come in and sleep on my bed with me at night, one (a female) is still quite skittish.  To keep her from getting upset, I have had to set up a couple of...

Having been occupied with caring for or burying cats almost continuously since last Tuesday, I am running behind in everything and this will have to be a quick reply before I go off to bed, with more to come tomorrow.  I thank you all very much for your help and your consoling messages regarding...

This may be a stupid question, but how are Barney's hearing and peripheral vision?  I have noticed that sometimes when I overtake and pass elderly people on the sidewalk they will give a startled jump when I suddenly appear in their vision, because their peripheral vision doesn't work with...

Just a quick reply; I will try to post something longer this evening.  Luigi died at 2:04 AM, less than three hours after my last post.  I have just gotten back from burying him.  He entered into his agony a little before midnight, if I recall correctly.  While resting on that low shelf in the...

Yes, I have been telling this woman for months that she could save much money for herself -- and endless suffering for me and the cats -- if she would pay to have the females spayed.  Right now it is not critical, since Grigia died after being hit by a car in late September and -- I forgot to...

He will probably be dead within an hour or two.  After I placed him on the bedroom floor he continued to move around his front parts restlessly.  Twice I have placed a pan of hot water in front of his head to give him vapor to ease the noise from his stuffed-up nose, but after a few seconds he...

An update on Luigi.  I am fairly convinced that he is dying.  I went off to do some prayers for 20 minutes, and when I went back into the kitchen he was still OK, resting under the table.  But he had urinated a little and when I lifted him up to wipe him and change the cloths under him he...

Thank you very much for your replies.  To get vet care I would have to go out and borrow € 100 from friends for that.  But I already owe my landlord € 800 in back rent and have promosed to pay it to him as soon as I have the money in hand.  So if I had that money in hand and did not give it to...

Help!  Over the last 15 minutes Luigi has begun breathing with more difficulty, as though he were asthmatic.  He has his neck extended, and is moving his head forward and back with every breath more than before.  But he still drinks honey-water readily, though afterwards he has heightened...

Dear all, I live in a tiny, isolated village in the mountains of southern Italy. Below my apartment balcony, across the lane from me, is the backyard of one house, which is connected to four other backyards or gardens.  It is all fenced, so dogs cannot get in, but cats can.  Several years ago...
