I do SO love a happy ending! Glad your baby is back home and inside. I know you are over the moon about it.

Looks like you are getting excellent advice, AND like Timmy is on top of this, as well, so I'll just add,

How old was he when you got him? If he was older, he may have had bad experiences with brooms or sticks before he came to you. You might try laying the broom flat on the floor for a bit, and see if he will approach it when it is "helpless."

This is so true. I've been living with all-electric for so many years now that I'm just...done. You cannot cook properly with electric. No real control. LOL, IF I should ever win the lottery, or IF PCH ever came to my door with one of their BIG prizes, this is the range that I want: It is...

You tried. It's far more than some would do. Let's see...lunch will be taquitos. Dinner will be pork patties, mashed potatoes, and SOME SORT of veggie. From a can. I have set two out to open for the next four days. I KNOW one is green beans, but I forget what the other is. Maybe hoppin' john?

Welcome to both you and the oh-so-lovely Dax! I LOVE that expression on her face.

Welcome to you and the beautiful (and smart and impish) Izzy!

Welcome to you and your mini-tigers, Louis and Violet!

Rest you gentle, Squirrels, dream you deep. Your purrs echo in someone's heart forever. I am so, so sorry for your loss. There are those rare animals who reach so deeply into our souls that they become, in some way, a part of us. I have had that relationship, and 50 years later, I STILL cry...

Rest you gentle, Kitty, dream you deep. Your pawprints are on someone's heart forever. This is the Deepest Truth I know, that love never dies. It is translated and purified into Love, and continues on. Now, from his home in That Place Where All Things Are Known, Kitty knows how much you...

There are several oral meds for mange, but all of the ones I'd feel comfortable with require a prescription from a veterinarian. Once you have that, you can order from several sources. You may have to trap him, as mange can be caused by two very different mites, and they require different...

Or, if we are talking about territory marking, is it possible that there are ferals/indoor-outdoor cats or other small wildlife coming near the home?

Generally, not always, but generally, when a cat poops or pees RIGHT NEXT TO the litter box, it is because doing that is painful, and they associate the box with the pain, not their own body. They are trying their best to do right, but it just hurts. Now, pooping or peeing all over the place...

One thing you can do is to take an old sheet (now), and cover something that she lounges on with it. Let her shed all over it. When it is almost time to move, cut the sheet into 12-18" squares, fold it fur-side in, and tuck them into a large plastic bag. Once she is set up in her base camp...

Lunch will be waffles. Dinner will be a hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn. I really need to phase out about half of the mashed potatoes, so...time to redo the grocery list. MORE VEGGIES, fewer potatoes. OT, but not entirely. I ordered a new cook book, and love the fact...
