    Cats stop eating and pooping

    I had to do some things this morning and when I got back it looks like Joe and Tasha both pooped. I am pretty sure that some is Joe's, because I do not think it would fit in Tasha. We don't have anything that they could eat and check any plant before bringing it inside. I tried to give all...

    Cats stop eating and pooping

    All three of the cats dislike anything seafood. I put tuna out for them on a plate earlier and they just smelled it and walked away. Tasha did eat some of the regular food from the last can I had and ate some treats but left certain ones behind. The cats are not lethargic as Joe keeps yelling...

    Cats stop eating and pooping

    Hello. I have three cats, a brother and sister, ( Joe and Tasha),and a non-related female, (Turtle). Until about 3 days ago everything was going along o.k.. I only had one cat, Tasha, that vomited every once and awhile and she also would cough up the occasional hairball. The other two have never...

    making a raccoon proof cat feeding station /shelter in a wooded area and under bushes?

    About the only way to make it raccoon proof is to raise it high enough so that the cats can still jump up, but the raccoon can not. Raccoons can climb, but they are not good jumpers. What you could do is take and old table that is at least 3 feet tall and then wrap a piece of luan around the...

    Rescued Barn Cats

    Keeping them apart may be your best option for now then. You don't want them getting wounded and infected. The large dog crate may work, just put it somewhere where the other cats can not jump on top of it. Putting food for each on opposite sides of a see through plexiglass barrier may get them...

    Rescued Barn Cats

    Are they actually fur flying fighting or just posturing and hissing? If the fur flying type, how often do they do it? Cats like to establish a hierarchy, especially outside cats. It may not be that bad of a thing. You may want to keep them separate, but let them smell and see each other for...

    Blind kitten

    Well, I have never actually taken care of a blind kitten/cat, but I am pretty sure that there are some things that will be common between a blind cat/kitten and some blind humans that I have talked to in my life. You will need to make sure to put things like food and water in a place that is...

    Trapping at night vs morning?

    Technically, most spay and neuter clinics will tell you not to let the cat eat after 8 p.m. the night before surgery, so trapping them at night is actually preferred even if they have to stay trapped a little longer. Just make sure to take the trap somewhere safe and use something under the trap...

    Found feral kitten who is not thriving

    Definitely flea comb him/her as soon as possible. Fleas can take a lot out of and even end up killing very young kittens. I use a flea spray called Natural chemistry Natural Flea & Tick Spray. I was turned onto it by a woman that helped me rescue a feral colony where I live. there was one...

    Little Gizmo

    I am sorry that that happened to Gizmo. That really sucks. I like dogs, just not vicious dogs. In this case though, I am not so sure that the neighbors wouldn't be minus a vicious dog. It is not in a dog's nature to kill a cat. That dog is vicious and might even attack a child if young enough...

    HELP!!! I adopted a stray but she won't stop crying

    Yes, eventually she would adjust to not having the kittens around. It make take awhile, it may not depends on her. I would definitely check with the neighbors for your own peace of mind. If food has been left out and they are not coming back, it sounds like they found a new home. At 10 weeks...

    HELP!!! I adopted a stray but she won't stop crying

    I agree with the smelly food live traps for the kittens. I would leave them out at night because the kittens don't seem to come out while you are watching. Maybe cover them with a tarp/sheet/blanket so it looks like a hiding place that has some food. At 10 weeks, the kittens probably have not...
