We have taken in a cat that is expecting kittens. We don't know much about her, but is obviously pregnant, it would seem that someone saw we have a barn, and dropped her off. Anyhow, I want to build her a "pen" so that the kittens will be safe, because we have a small dog. I was going to...

So many of my ideas have not been liked so far, I  thought I would try yet another. Fact 1 there are too many stray cats to indiscriminately breed kittens Fact 2  I love kittens and want to raise kittens Idea 30017 I could build a nice room in the basement, with tile floors, a scratching...

is Jynx, my adorable barn cat, that as you can see is already sleeping on the bed, and we don't have a bed in the barn.

There may be an interesting turn of events.................... As I was bringing her in the house, because I thought she looked cold in the barn, and was playing with her, I noticed that when I rubbed under her her nipples felt predominate.  I turned her over and rubbed her belly and the hair is...

This cat doesn't need a forever home, or a home where she will be adored.  She has already found one.  You don't want a cat like this, and work this hard to find one and not keep it and adore her.  Are you suggesting that a breeding cat can't be a happy cat? Then all the registered, ethical...

If you want to know a secret................ I have learned that I don't want to be a breeder either.   That is not to say that I will never raise kittens, because I will.  A litter now and then to replenish the barn cats sometimes.  If I breed them I will either find them a home, or I will keep...

Thank-you for the articles.  You are absolutely right......The people on here helped me define my goals.  I have cancelled the Pure Siamese kittens. I want the Siamese colour without the Siamese attitude AND I want some selection for ratting. I picked up a really nice 1 year old seal point...

The kittens just being born around here now.  I will probably find some at a later date.  I have a line on a year old female that is Siamese colour, that I am going to go see.    From there what I do, will be a secret, and trial and error................ There are  a lot of people out there that...

Ok, there is some pretty good learning going on here.  I have no deposit on the kittens, I have only suggested that I was taking them.  Matter of fact the first litter was only born yesterday, and the other litters he is having don't arrive for a month. I knew that to start with kittens meant...

kitten is being advertised for a free home.  I know that she is not Siamese, but she is a "pointe cat" right?  Maybe lilac or something like that?

To me a cats main defense against a coyote would be to "RUN" not attack, so maybe it would be up to us to provide the cats with, Trees, shelves high posts that they can climb quickly to get out of the reach of the coyotes.  On the other hand tigers would kill the coyotes too........ maybe they...

http://www.canadianveterinarians.net/resources/document-detail.aspx?document=a-code-of-practice-for-canadian-cattery-operations I found this document about the requirements for cat care in Canadian Catteries.  It is problably the minimum requirements, but maybe it will be a starting point for...

Well, As far as breeding registered cats, I would love to do that, but there is a problem.  You can only breed registered cats from Registered cats, and registered cat breeders won't sell them to someone like me that wants to breed them  with no interest in showing them............... ...

One thing we have going for us around here is that in NB it is now illegal to have a cat declawed.  I mention that  because I noticed your signature and thought I would mention it.  I didn't even know that before I contacted a vets office to find out about kitten care..... not that I would ever...

~I understand that as part of the follow-up program, the SPCAAR can phone or visit me to see how the pet is progressing. At any time an SPCAAR representative may examine the adopted animal and living conditions and return the adopted animal to the SPCAAR if the representative feels the...

My problem isn't so much what purebred breeders charge, as it is the control that they maintain.  To me, it seems that breeders don't sell you a cat, they rent them.  I am not saying that to be mean, it is entirely up to them how they do it, just like what I do is up to me, but   I can't think...

~~" More than 60,000 cats were euthanized in Canadian shelters in 2011, according to a new report released by the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies" well, that is a good point too.  There is no point of playing "what If", we have to live in the world that we actually live in.  What is...

If I understand genetics correctly, it seems that animals that have babies in litters, groups, clutches, ect do so because of the abundance of other animals that prey on them.  Then there is the natural selection, where they have to survive the predators, disease, and climates and instincts of...
