Hi Speakhandsforme!  :) Sorry for the late response!  Your idea is exactly what we are going to do...purchase a blacklight and thoroughly clean - with enzyme cleaner - the spots we find.  We'll see just what we are up against this weekend when the blacklight comes out! Thank you for taking the...

Hi Nettalynn! Wow, thank you so, so, so much for taking the time to write up such a detailed response!  You're awesome! I have PJB's "Think Like a Cat" but not the book you mentioned...I went ahead and ordered that (I am sure it will come in handy for many other situations!)  Fin is peacefully...

Hi Everyone! I have a problem and I am praying some of you fine folks can help me out!  Back in October I posted about a stray I had found in my neighborhood that had been abandoned by it's owners (foreclosure).  In any case, I took the stray - Finley - to the vet and had him checked out and...

Thank you Feralvr and Susan! I am quite smitten with him...and he is SUCH a handsome boy in person. He is so cuddly, too...I can carry him around like a baby. Someone at some point was very kind to him. Makes what happened to him so sad to me. He is a warm boy with a full belly now!

Jcat - thank you!! I have an extra bag of potting soil leftover from this years planting, so I am try one box of that and one of the cat attract to see which he prefers. Fingers crossed!

Feralvr - Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I ran right out and grabbed the product you mentioned. Let's hope Fin is a fast learner and catches on quickly I am so thankful for your help!! bszaronos - thank you for the tip!

Hi all! If this isn't in the correct location, sorry! In any case, I have moved Finely, the stray I have taken in, into our garage where I am keeping him locked in at night. The issue we are having now is he seems a bit confused by the litter box. I think he has been a stray for quite some...

I can't help you on the feeding question, but I wanted to comment on just how stinkin' cute he is , and what a wonderful thing this is that you are doing! So happy things went well at the vet!

Oh yay! So happy to hear that he is doing better. I'll keep sending those healing vibes!

Feralvr - You are spot on! I feel so lucky that this little guy found me. I am going to have him retested because in the few days since we have sheltered him in the garage he has come back with a scratch to the face and we have a few strays in the neighborhood. I am just sick with worry...

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for the advice! It makes me feel a whole lot better. Of the four cats I have, 3 are rescues and when I got them they were tested for FeLV and that was that...this is my first vet in the States and she kind of scared me when she said that even though the stray...

Hi All! My hubby and I recently moved to Ohio after living many years overseas. We currently have 4 of our own cats. Here is my dilemma... There is a stray cat who started showing up at my house about a month ago. After asking some questions around the neighborhood, evidently this cat has...

Thank you for the good vibes, Kailie! Tricia - thank you for the info and the PM. I am waiting to hear back from Riley's German vet to see if we can't get his meds switched. Wish us luck! ~S

Thank you, Mystic and Mews Having been off the meds he is so much more cheerful today and is actually eating...no vomiting (which was just bile, anyways) To see the difference in him is amazing and really makes me question continuing on with treatment. Mews: If you could ask some of the...

Hi everyone! Yes, it has been a while for me... In any case, a little back story...I had two brothers, Maddie and Riley. Maddie was diagnosed with HCM in the fall of 2006. We had him on treatment (Atenolol) and ultrasounds every 3-4 months. Sadly, he passed away almost one year (Nov 2007)...

Thanks, guys!! Giz is doing amazing. Today was his final blood test from the vet; he came out 100% healthy so we are able to start the intoduction process! Bri and I bought a huge door size fence to put up tonight, so everyone can see each other. Giz is on the 2nd floor in the guest room...

I agree; trap him (or get him in a carrier) and get him to the vet for testing and neutering. I just took in a stray last week after a month of feeding him. It just broke my heart to see him outside and so lonely and miserable (his behaviour was almost spot on to Oreo) so I trapped him last...
