I've got another question for you Kerry!
I've got 7 cats outside:
Fafeena-14 y/o pet Female
Slinky-9 year old semi-feral pet Female
Tabitha-7 year old semi-feral Female
Goat-Head-6 year old semi-feral pet Female
Cow-5 year old pet Male
Billy Bob & Tony Bob-2 year old males
All are fixed & vetted.
Here's my problem. Fafeena is, essentially, dying. There is no nice way to put it. I've tried making her a housecat, but having lived outside fo 14 years, she isn't taking it easy. And I've got enough complications in housecats.
Fafeena mostly stays in the garage & up by the house. Recently, Goat-Head has started "encroaching"(sp?) on Fafeena's territory coming into the garage & hanging around the house. I think she knows Fafeena cannot fight much anymore. Fafeena won't listen. Tonight, I discovered Goat-Head has a quarter size hole in her back flank(going to the vet Thur).
What can I do to make this fighting stop(if anything can be done)? It has finally come to blood being drawn & those two are still fighting right now. Goat-Head would never come into the garage or let me shut her in until just recently.
I do not think Fafeena is ready to "let go" yet or I would help her along....she's still chasing moths & enjoying life without pain. My tough Queen.
I really do not think she can handle "Queen" status anymore as I am seeing an increasing number of strays & ferals that she always kept at bay.
