    Keeping Them Separated

    Any issues with a cat trying to climb over the top? I really like the design here as well. I'll peruse Lowe's or Home Depot for shelving. My husband prefers that whatever I do is not permanently attached to the walls. And yes, we need to go through the barrier at night too!

    Keeping Them Separated

    I would want Ruby to have access to front door and the two rooms through the archway.

    Keeping Them Separated

    Great idea! Here is a pic. Would want from left side of wall to right side. Not the smaller archway.

    Keeping Them Separated

    Hello! I need some advice and guidance. I posted earlier about Ruby. My semi-feral who adopted us back in January. She is still around and I finally have her to the point she is clearly our cat. Here's the problem I am having. I did introduce slowly (behind cages and screens) my other two...

    Update on Ruby

    I wanted to add another picture. I am so very proud of the progress I have made with Ruby! She comes in throughout the day and plays with the cat toys and sometimes sleeps. It is starting to get very hot here so she likes coming in to a cool house. I am trying to keep her in more and more...

    Problem with husband or cat? Needy behavior!

    I have a 9-year old male cat and he displays different behaviors with my husband then he does with me. With my husband, he is clingy, pines incessantly, and nearly trips him every time my husband takes a step. The cat is not like that with me. I told my husband to ignore the negative behavior...

    Update on Ruby

    Thank you! Ruby does love those Temptations but not enough to get her through the screen. I will keep trying though because I am relentless :cool:

    Update on Ruby

    Hi all! It's been a while since I posted about Ruby. Here is a recent pic of her in my living room (sort of). For new folks, the saga began back in January when it was very cold and snowy here and I kept seeing a black and white cat. Young-ish, less than 1 year old. Ear tipped so feral-ish...

    Ruby the Feral?

    OMG what great pics! Thank you for sharing those with me. They all look very happy and content :-) I love Ruby more than you could know. Her disposition is absolutely sweet (at least to me). She is now getting used to my husband's voice and doesn't run from him like she used to. I know she...

    Ruby the Feral?

    Thank you for this information. I am so glad to hear that your two friends are safe and comfortable with you now. Ruby will come in the front door, sit on the foyer, then decide she's had enough and go back outside. It's hard for me to leave our front door open because I have two other cats...

    Ruby the Feral?

    I wanted to send a few replies to those that answered my post. Thank you so much for the information. We did find out that she does not like to be in enclosed places and I think that has to do with escape routes. I tried opening the window to my office so she could come in and she wanted...

    Ruby the Feral?

    I am so overwhelmed with the stories here! I love all this compassion especially when it is so greatly needed right now. I know she will come around. When she looks at me from my lap, I feel so much love for her. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so glad to hear that your two...

    Not sure if cat is Feral or Stray

    Thank you so much for the response. I really appreciate all the wonderful feedback provided here. Here's a pic of my little girl inside. When I look at this picture, I think she looks so calm. What's the deal? Then I have to remember that I don't know her experiences and what she has been...
