Sarthur, civilizing and caring for a cat with possibilities is a wonderful thing - I will send good vibes that the lonely tom will come into the fold and enjoy a new life as a (neutered) member of your household. We have adopted other toms that showed up in the past, but they were not violent...

Yes, after several weeks of him showing up at any hour of the day or night, trying to start fights, ambushing and biting our couple of old spayed females sunning on the deck, and hosing down our deck and exterior cage area with urine, we finally trapped him. When at the vet's to have abscesses...

Thanks for all your thoughts on the feral.  I am a giant bleeding heart.  I want to save them all.  I am a vegetarian because all my life I've loved animals to distraction, prefer them to people (present company excepted!), and at the age of 50-something could no longer say, "oh I just love...

I'll have to look at that thread.  I was a little afraid after my last post that some might find my rehoming of the feral tom offensive.  He was so aggressive - bit two of our girls that then required antibiotics for infection.  Tried to start fights through a screen window where the basement...

The mom of the week-old kittens (found under a porch in a cardboard box, nobody willing to claim her), in a state of bliss after deworming, weaning, spaying, lots of food, and the knowledge that she'll never be a street cat again. Sending good thoughts for the return of Newman.  Have you...

That is a beautiful photo of the sleeping group - I wish mine got along that well together - we have to be careful because of this one not liking that one, etc. And yes, "that look" is familiar - people recoil, look at you suspiciously.  We're setting up more indoor/outdoor spots and that side...

I'm going to have to look for one of those dolls too - apparently six is the cutoff to be considered a CCL?  What does that make me at 11? Here is the Olympic champion squirter - weighing in at 50% more than he did when we rescued him.  And I've received a couple of lovely notes from people...

Very good point - why is having lots of (well cared for) critters hoarding or crazy when somebody with a property and multiple buildings full of metal stuff is a "collector"? It does hurt to lose those really old ones - our last several were between 18 and 22 when we had to let them go. And...

Here is another one of the rescued week-old litter (at a slightly older age - calico on the left is not their mom but another rescue age 12).

Thanks for the kind words! I will have to figure out how to add photos - there are plenty, but I'm really bad with computers. It's like running a toddler daycare where they all want to sit on your lap.  They're all so wonderful, how to give equal affection?  Same reason they all stayed here -...

In agreement that this woman sounds mentally ill.  Why she has targeted you is not entirely a mystery - you are visible and you're doing something interesting - I'd be willing to bet her neighbors avoid her at all costs. As many have suggested, you may have to involve the police, and you should...

Hello, Glad to have a place just to talk about this - by most definitions I'm a Crazy Cat Lady. We have 11, none sought out.  Some came with pregnant mothers or as newborn kittens; one was a gift during a time of deep mourning for the passing of a 20-year-old kitty.  One was just flat rescued...

I've not investigated the pH numbers, just recall the vet saying this cat was at 7, and they should be in the 5 something range, and I know the concern has been struvite rather than oxalate crystals.  It's good to know that some home testing can be done, though I have a vision of a cat jumping...

The holistic vet my daughter consulted for her dog with chiropractic issues (and had wonderful results), likes Halo brand, but seemed to be okay with dry rather than emphasizing wet.  I've been suspicious for years of the Science Diet glut in the vet's offices.  It's widely believed that vets...

I am struggling with this same problem - switched to Wellness in 2007 after the pet food recall and it was a miracle for one cat with food allergies who lived on to age 22.  Something has changed now here in 2015, and in the past couple of months we had two cats with blockages, the vet blames...
