I wish I could give better news to somebody who obviously loves cats and has opened heart and home to the unwanted of this world. Whilemy experience liesin other areas, I have close friends who have worked with ferals for many years, and in this situation..............thisis as good as itis...

Old cats can be led a 'dogs life' by a young kitten, but 7 is not old! I suspect that having been bullied by the previous female,and then had his life turned upside down by what he regards as a large and scary interloper, the addition of another cat who appears to "attack" (though only playing)...

You don'tsay if the cats are allowed to sleep with you? does he just want Mum? Lil

There is also,I suspect, an "alpha cat" situation which has arisen suddenly now because your youngest boy has reached his prime and needs to assert his dominance over the territory and the older cat. Unless the oder boy is prepared to roll over and allow the younger to take "top spot" then the...

Even vets are arguing this one!There has just been an uproar at the RCVS as a group of vets have signed up to a document stating that maufacturers are fleecing the public..........vaccs are not required annually. official line from the College, in response,isthat everything should get shots...

Do monitor him closely..........make sure he is still passing stools. If he is not, or stops eating altogether,then you need to take him to the vet straight away as he may have a condition which requires immediate medical intervention. Hopefully, he is on the mend already Lil

Hi I've also hand reared a multitude and have seen flaky skin a few times with kittens that have finally been brought in having been low on fluids for a while. As you are noticing, it does clear. Severe flea infestation causes a massive problem to tinies also, as the blood loss can be greater...

Hi this must be worrying for you. Cats do not "bleed" during a cycle in the same way that we do so this is certainly not reason for the blood. Given the problems you are having checking their skin, it could be a wound butI would expect you to have found matted blood on the fur and an obvious...

Hi! thought you had adopted, not been the recipient of a dumpee! I still occasionally find something on my doorstep, and I stopped being an official rescue a while ago.Once people get to know you....!!!!!!! Pee smell may take up to three weeks to clear.Themale behaviourmay take a lot longer...

He has also only just been neutered, his hormones are still raging and at this time of year his whole body is urging him to get out there and do his bit to expand the feline population. You can't comprehend why he doesn't understand the "shut-up" command. He has absolutely no idea why you won't...

I think it could be a risky bet, adding a third cat into the equation.......another in house cat may just persuade her to move out entirely! Since the relationship with the new owners is fairly good, how about suggesting to them that they block the new cat flap and keep her indoors for a while...

Sorry, I am in the UK but don't believe it is a POM in the US, so I would try PetSmart or similar. Otherwise, over the counter from the vet clinic. It is worth repeating though that the best way forward is to get some external support so that these cats can be fully vet checked,and maybe taken...

I think taking two cats, that are known not to interact yet, away together could be a recipe for disaster. Sounds to me like you have the whole situation fairly well worked out fortakingher in to the restricted environment - and long term, most cats will settle.You just need to convince the...

You don't mention how long he has had the problem.eyes can react in this way to an irritation,or scratch (just as people do).Howeveritcan also be a symptom of a more general infection. If it hasn't cleared quickly I would get in checked Lil

Certainly it is worth investing in bottled water for her...cats don't drink many bottles in a week. I would ask your vet to test for which antibiotic the infection will respond to.........not cheap,but better than continued repeat visits as the infection keeps kicking back. Lil

Please try contacting MeezerPleasers http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/meezerpleasers.html I am not certain, but believe that they have helped with a previous case of first cross dumpees.If not they may be able to advise of some support for you. I absolutely agree with Hissy that vets advice is...

Ask him if it could be a polyp? (the questions don't cost......just the visit!). I stress this is only a possibility, but can be the cause of repeat infections. Lil

Looks as though being left in that box was the best thing that could have happened to them! Wish all such cases could find people like you. lil

Hi! Lovely babies and, at last, another big picture poster! Glad you have come out of hiding Lil

Cute cats! and congratulations on making picture links.....I still can't make mine small enough! Lil
