It's unfortunate you're having do many problems with your kitty... and wow, how unprofessional of your breeder to be so rude. I don't think I saw this mentioned here, so I'll add my own insight on biting based off my experience. ...ever seen Snow Dogs? The lead dog was mean and aggressive. So...

That's my concern about Salem. If he is ill, I'm hoping there's nothing wrong with him he could pass on to the mom cat Cala and their four kits. Pre-weight loss, when their kits were still tiny,  he was apparently already at, er, attempting to make more.  Right now I am using tuna in the trap...

Background: When my SO and I lived with his parents, I started caring for a feral black cat I named Salem. He was a BIG boy. Not fat, but bulky. I easily (like, got her to come to me and picked her up) caught his pregnant lady friend two days before she had her babies. I actually kept her and...

So my SO was able to read me the text message his brother sent him about all this while on break. Apparently his brother is also claiming that Micah is acting lethargic - except, she's always been pretty laidback and inactive.... since we took her in in October. So I'm hesitant to think that her...

Hey there Stephen - and thanks! As I said, we're moving in to the home and taking over complete care in a week; we live with my SO's parents right now where they didn't want any more cats than we had already. The compromise was to keep them at the other home until we switched houses. We visit...

So up front I'm going to say that I haven't witnessed my furbaby's urine issues personally; it's an odd situation in which my SO's brother is currently providing her care at a house that, next week, SO and I will be moving into, and his brother will be moving out of. So while we visit her daily...

I'll go ahead and start swapping scents now then! That's kind of what I was instinctively thinking - mom first, then babies later. Show Micah that the others aren't a threat before her kiddos come into the mix. As for vertical space - that's a reason I'm getting a cat tree! Beyond that I'll...

So... this may wind up being kind of long. I love cats; I love to know about cats; I love to research cats. I've introduced cats before too. But never like this... which is why it'll be long. Backstory, explaining things, all that. So here we go...   My SO and I are moving out of his parents'...

I took in a pregnant stray 3 days ago. Yesterday, she gave birth to three fuzzy little marshmallows! Well, burnt marshmallows. She and all three babies are tuxedos. The day I caught her, I called all the shelters and they either could not or would not take her (out of district). My SO's father...

After another 7 hours she popped out a third little tuxedo. Still trying to keep her from sitting on the kittens. One poor dude was trying to nurse a her lady parts.. lol That was about 7pm and it's 3am now so maybe no more babies, finally. The first two were born between 6am and noon... so we...

Thanks sarthur2! It looks like I was worrying over nothing anyway - she was further along than we thought she was. I got a call saying she'd had two kittens this morning! Everyone's pretty surprised she only had two - two little tuxedos like herself - so we're waiting to see if maybe she'll pop...

Yeah, I'm feeding her both wet and dry. She's a ravenous little thing. She's pretty far along so I feel like she needs it. But apparently the vet says weight gain could somehow complicate the birth...which I've never heard of before.

I caught a stray yesterday, a very sweet and friendly girl. Aaand... she's very, very pregnant. None of the shelters here will take her, so it looks like I'll be caring for her at my SO's brother's home. Given she's so skinny, ravenous, and, well, pregnant, I bought kitten food for her. I went...

Unfortunately the owner is not willing to switch brands. The dog was fed top brand foods when first adopted, by his wife and since the dog would barely touch it, he took over and decided to feed his dog only Purina brands since she liked it, it was cheap, and he always has coupons. I've offered...

Yeah, we've tried lots of various brands, especially since our local feed store often has sample bags available. We do have to be careful though because our skinny cat is very picky with what she eats. I feel like I should say though, that Kilo LOVES wet food, but if he's given the choice...

Honestly, it doesn't explain why Kilo would sit and wait for dog food rather than eat the freefed kibble, right next to their wet food feeding spot. lol. Kilo is the perfect weight however. The mildly overweight cat is the one that has never eaten any dog food - she's just extremely skittish and...

It's difficult to give an exact amount as he shares with my third cat, and we scoop it out from a large can. If I had to guess, we're currently feeding about 2-3oz daily that the two cats split. Some days we give extra. I wouldn't mind upping the amount if need be, it's just difficult to make...

It's a nice idea, but with more than half of our income going towards school loans (one of which is in his mom's name and she wants paid off before we ever consider moving out), it's not exactly possible right now.

I think Kilo was born for this contest. It was so, so hard to pick between three I have .
