Cats are territorial so Tuffy feels like Joe is invading her yard. I had two feral cats several years ago and Lulu eventually drove off Missy.
Lulu is still there. Is there any way that you could divide the yard so that Joe has and area and Tuffy has an area and both have a common area. Have...
All of my cats stand by the door and look outside. There is a feral cat that I feed and they see her. She has been coming for 3 or 4 years. When I open the door not one of my cats run out even the kittens. In fact, many of them run the other way for fear I "may kick the out". Most of the...
I had to have a Saluki put to sleep because he had cancer. There was a problem that caused me to take him to the vet and she found bacteria (e.coli) in his urine. She treated it. I had him put to sleep only when his seizures became so frequent and difficult that and I knew he was in pain...
About twelve years ago we had two dogs one of whom was a part Rotweiller and he had some issues where he would attack our Border Collie. We took Miss Kitty to get her shots and neutered. She ran off after she was released but came back and is still here after 12 years later. I created an...
I have 3 feral kittens that I found in my shed in another city and the mother and littermate are still there. I feed them a mixture of Purina Cat Chow Complete and Friskies. Purina a 22 lb bag at Walmart is 17.78
Arm and Hammer has a 100% cat free litter that I switched to when my Anny boy started chocking really bad one morning. He still has episodes but they are much reduced and less frequent. I would not use steroids as a steady diet.
Antonio it is always hard to make a decision to put an animal to sleep. I have done it only once and the animal does not suffer at all. I am faced with a similar thing although it is not a pet. I have some cattle my bull and three cows were born 11 years ago and they were about 6 months old...
Here is a website that discusses lymphoma and gives a lot of information but as a cancer survivor it is important to understand that the attitude of the patient and the support are VERY IMPORTANT. I had a friend along time ago whose dog (and I understand the difference) developed cancer. He...
One thing I have observed is that one of my cats has recently changed and eats very little wet food (mostly water) but eats dry. I have also noticed that he is drinking a lot more water. I wonder if your feral is getting enough water.
I feed a feral and she eats wet food and also dry but I...
I am deeply saddened by your loss. My heart is aching for you. I have had to have one saluki put to sleep and it is still with me. His dad passed away as we were taking him to the vet. We had a stray cat that used to visit every morning and was killed one morning. We called him Blackie. He...
"What Causes Asthma in Cats?
While there are a number of factors that contribute to asthma in cats, it is thought to develop as a result of allergic bronchitis. Allergic bronchitis occurs when the airways in a cat's lungs become inflamed due to an inhaled allergen or other substance that...
I have a similar problem with a cat that we found under our shed, socialized him and took him in. After he was spayed, he has choking fits. Everything I was able to find is that they may be allergic to something. I switched litter to dust free and it helped for a while. He is active and eats...
I would like to have recommendations of foods that cats should be fed to avoid diabetes. I understand that physical inactivity in indoor cats plays a role. The discussion has turned to treatment instead of avoidance since I know first hand that diabetes in humans is bad. To me (as a...
Is there not an oral tablet to control diabetes like in humans. I am diabetic and take a pill and have done so since I was diagnosed. I wonder why cats can not use an oral. I "googled this" and apparently there are few medications for cats that have been evaluated. Sadly, insulin requires...
One of the cats in the picture (not Siamese) has also thrown up from the time she was young but not until we got a second cat. She eats food and in an hour or so regurgitates. I have tried putting her on Iams for sensitive stomach and now Purina One also for sensitive stomachs. She used to...
I would be interested in what you find out. I have a "feral" kitten who was living under my shed in the country. When I arrived there he was crying. I fed him. The next day, he was crying again. I talked to him and he came up to me. I fed him again. I was afraid that some coyote would get...
What is in her litter box? Did you ever think of trying soil. A bit harder to work with but Arm and Hammer has one that is 100% dust free and looks like dirt.
We have 5 cats and every one of them is a stray or feral. We recently added 3 kittens which got into my shed on my farm. They are now at my house in Dallas, being socialized so they can be adopted. When we caught them they were too young to neuter so we either had to take them or let them go...

They are still a bit skidish not like the one we adopted from under that same shed. He was crying and I fed him the first day. When I went back the next day he was crying again. I talked to him and he came up to me. I fed him and took him home. He is like a sumo wrestler but he is very...
