    Five adult cats...now, plus one stray/feral kitten. Need advice, support etc...

    I wish I could edit my last post. Heidi ate some stuff!  Treats first off...then she licked half a jar of Gerber Turkey baby food off my finger just a bit ago. Washed it down with some KMR milk (gotta get that taurine!).  Anxiety and panic have morphed into mild worry and tentative, cautious...

    Still not eating, but I'm having more success with the wiping the baby food on her.  I managed to get almost her whole dose of medicine down her this morning as well.  She has been a teensy bit more active today and even played with me a bit this morning, but she still just mostly wants to...

    It would seem I've spoken too soon.  Heidi wouldn't eat her breakfast yesterday.  I attributed it to excitement at being able to spend all morning downstairs exploring and being adorable. Then, she wouldn't eat lunch, then dinner.  She was doing everything else...drinking water, going No 1 and...

    An update! At the moment, Heidi is sleeping soundly, if a bit uncomfortably in my lap...purring away.  She was spayed/chipped Monday so the stitches are making it awkward for her to find a good position to sleep. :)  I was told she did wonderfully during her day at the vet and everyone cooed...

    Just wanted to give y'all an update...I'll try my hardest to make it quick. A switch flipped a couple of days ago during our feeding/petting session.  I managed to get a finger under her chin and start scratching.  She immediately leaned into my hand, closed her eyes and promptly fell over. ...

    I just learned about this a few days ago...(from this site! :) )  and it has worked wonders!  She really wants to explore (read:play in) the rest of the house now though.  And let me tell you...mere words cannot express how badly I want to oblige her.  Removing and crawling through the baby...

    Update on Miss Heidi-hidey ho! She is progressing SO well!  Still not able to pet her, but I'm letting her determine when she is ready for that.  We are working slowly on getting her at less afraid of my hands, as that seems to be most terrifying thing about me to her.  She is growing...

    Hello one and all! Two weeks ago, after 4 long hours in the Georgia heat, I rescued a tiny 8 week old grey tortie from the wheel well of a parked car at the Mart of Wal.  She hissed, she spat, she made many...many holes in my hand with teeth and claws but I finally got her in a carrier.  Off to...
