I wanted to say a big thank you to all the advice I was given last year for my feral cat. It took some time and patience but as I write she is snoozing in my lap. She is still skitzy at times but on the whole she is loving, fur mowing free and the other cats have accepted her :)
Hi. I feel terrible but I just noticed my older cat is getting some mild hair matting around her lower back area. They are small. Is there a gentle way to remove them as I tried brushing her and it seems to pain her a bit..maybe detangler or conditioner during a bath?
We adopted a 3 year old feral stray. It took some time and patience and some more patience but she now comes up in the bed and is pretty snuggly. We just played and talked and fed and played with her and she came around. I agree with not forcing attention on her shes young and will adapt. Good...
Hi all. We are moving to a new home. It's a one bedroom open concept apt/house about 700 square feet. We are building cat shelves and other cat friendly items into our design. We brought a feral in a year ago..things are mostly settled. I am wondering how to introduce the cats to their new...
A quick update. Skinny kitty did not have ringworm and the vet put her on clavamox. What a difference! She's up to 9 lbs and not nearly scratching as much. We might have to give her a new name
My husband does not think it's cute. It doesn't bother me much. She used to be tiny..Like 4 pounds tiny..now she looks like she swallowed a soccer ball. I'm just worried.
I've had my sweet girl Scrunch since she was 2 weeks old. She's lovey, sweet, but recently my husband insisted I get her spayed. She is 5 now. So I caved and had her spayed 2 months ago. She is not the same cat. She meows constantly, paces the house, eats all the time...even her fur is...
I am curious if anyone has come across anti fungal resistance. Skinny is slightly better but still scratching herself bloody. I was going to attempt washing her (in full armour) in a fatty acid shampoo in hopes of calming her horrible itching. Any thoughts???
So a quick update. I took the advice and tried the baby food mixed with the medicine and it worked beautifully. No stress no horrible capture experience. I think she sees the bed as a safe zone as she is still unapproachable anywhere else. It's like having 2 cat's. .but its good enough for me.
Months...we are in a rural area and the vet took a bit to realize it was ringworm. They thought she was stress licking. It was after my hysterical shrieking fit about incompetence that they listened to me so it is super advanced. They dont do lime sulpher dips and my inlaws have forbid it as I...
To clarify she still runs from me and has that crouched tail wrapped ears flat stance. She will not take the pill pockets, hates wet food, and had zero interrst in treats. I have tried it all. Now I have the chicken flavored liquid...which she hates. My concern is that as I keep having to catch...
Hi all. I recently rescued a starving feral and have quasi socialized her..to me at least. She has terrible ringworm and I have to give her medicine every day. Shes too canny to take it in her food so its a liquid down the throat. My issue is that we do so well together but pill time is horrific...
