I just joined today and I can tell I've found my home. As a person who only had dogs as pets my entire life, owning a cat is a new and exciting turn of events. Cats are wonderful, but I need a place for help and advice, and The Cat Site is it!! I live in Tennessee. I got involved in the cat world when our neighborhood became overrun with stray and feral cats. An apartment building was demolished 8 years ago and the residents left their cats behind. About 5 years ago I started to trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate and return the cats to the neighborhood. We have not had any kittens born in the past 3 years, and other strays/ferals rarely come into the neighborhood. So we now have a very stable group of about 25 adult cats, looked after by 6 neighbors. 8 of these cats live at my house. One is still very wild, only coming out of hiding to eat, but most have become quite friendly. One of the sweetest was recently caught by a big dog. The cat barely survived and is now living in my den. HELP!!! I am learning how to be a cat-mommy and I need all the advice I can get. My first post, which was earlier today, was answered by wonderful, helpful site members and I appreciate it more than you can know. I look forward to my cat journey and I feel much more confident now that I have found a site for help. Thank you!
