I saw that one, but after reading reviews, a couple of people said their cats could slip through the bars.

I know there is already at least one thread on here about cat gates, but I am looking for one that is a tension mount gate (so I don't have to put holes in the walls) that has a door that opens and shuts.   All the one's that I've seen online are too wide between the bars, and I know my one cat...

Do cats purr when they are in pain or uncomfortable, or only when they are happy and content?

The bath wasn't as bad as I thought.  We went inside a shower stall with glass door (no curtain).  She tried to climb the walls twice but then seemed to settle down and let me do what I wanted.  I was careful not to spray the water on her, but hold the shower nozzle close to her body when...

Thank you for all this info.  I will seriously reconsider de-clawing her.  I don't want to do anything to harm her.  I am going to go try and give her a bath right now for the first time, so wish me luck.  I will do some more reading on the subject and speak with my vet about the procedure.  I...

I read the article and was not aware.  Thank you for that.  I will discuss this with my vet.  Also, I have not had a chance to look at the Trimming a Cat's Nails link.  Is it possible for one person to be able to trim a cat's nails?  I can do my dog's on my own, but have never even tried to trim...

Well, she thinks my feet under the sheet at night is for her to attack, and when I move my legs, she attacks my feet.  I have been scratched that way.  Also, when I hold her in my arms then put her back down on the ground, when she leaves my arms, her claws scratch my arms.  Also, even though I...

I am taking my feral, who has now been living indoors with my dogs and myself for the past 3 weeks to be de-clawed of her front paws.  I can't stand being scratched up anymore.  Now, don't get me wrong....the scratching has come from her playing with me ONLY, not from being aggressive.  It is...

I have taken a feral into my home along with a 170 pound mastiff and 37 pound Basneji.  She is thriving and happy.  It has been 3 weeks now since she has been in my home full time.  It took about 3 months total to get to this point, from getting her to trust me, feeding her outside, moving to...

Thanks everyone for all of your helpful suggestions.  I decided to start keeping Marvin in my laundry room at night and then let her out in the mornings, keeping two child gates one on top of the other in the doorway from the family room leading into the laundry room last week.  The dogs were...

I found one and ordered it, but may be returning it, as I have brought Marvin inside this past week, and introducing her to my two dogs has gone a lot more smoothly than I would have ever imagined.  I think I'm going to be able to turn her into an indoor cat after all!!  Thanks for your reply...

Sorry I haven't replied, but have been busy helping her (and it is officially a female) to heal.  I did not need to trap her.  I returned the trap that I bought.  I made such progress over the last week of her letting me pet her and so I bought a carrier instead and tied the door open so that it...

Hello everyone!  I'm looking for a cat door.  I'm a first-time buyer and have come to see that there are many, many cat doors on the market.  Can anyone recommend a good one please? I Do NOT want one were the cat has to wear a special collar for the door to open or has to be micro chipped.  I...

I ordered a Tomahawk  humane trap and it has arrived.  I haven't taken it out of the box, because I was able to get a good sized carrier and have tied the door open, so that it doesn't close.  I have been putting the bowl of food in the back of the carrier, and she walks in and eats, then walks...

I take Marvin in to be spayed/neutered this Saturday, 9/20.  I have a carrier that I tied the door open, so it won't close and have been feeding her in there.   She goes into the carrier and eats and then walks out when she's done.  Little does she know next Saturday morning, the door will...

Just ordered a 30 inch. Tomahawk humane cat trap.  I read that you should line the trap bottom with newspaper so that they don't tear or bloody their paws or claws.  I also read that you should set the cage right by where you feed them, not set, so that they can get investigate and get used to...

I've been looking on line for cat traps.  Are they all wire cages, or are there some that look more like carriers.  I guess I had a picture in my mind that a cat trap was a carrier with a trap door.  Please bear with me as I am new to all that is cat!!

Wow!  Thanks so much for that.  I will go order one right now so it ships as soon as possible.  Thank you again!

Hello.  I've been reading on line about how to domesticate a feral cat and that it can be done.  I'd like to domesticate the feral that is in my avatar pic, but I have two dogs.  One is a 173 pound mastiff and the other is a 37 pound Basenji/Rat Terrier mix.  My Mastiff is good with other dogs...

Thanks for the advice.  Anyone know the best place to purchase such a cat trap that is not the most expensive place?  Would WalMart carry them or would I need to go to a pet store such as Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus?
