Thanks for the tip about straw vs fleece... I am not used to damp winters that go below zero with such icy winds. :)I love the heat lamp idea I have an unused old one for baby chicks that I have just dug out for my Dad to give an overhaul ;)

We have one outdoor cat (she won't come inside and she does not like other cats) but we adore her since she birthed 2 of my cats in our garage (what a surprise!). I am having trouble ordering a thermal/heat reflective mat or bed and the bitter winter wind is upon us! She sometimes goes into the...

Years ago my Dad got annoyed with my Mom spending so much money on the most expensive food available for their dogs. In protest he declared it cost more than his dinner so he was going to eat theirs. He did....once, and only once. Apparently it was very oily and not that palatable. We still...

It's a great catio! We have a night solar light on our large catio to attract flying bugs. The cats often hunt and chase butterflies, moths and other other bugs that get through the wire day or night. Our smaller window catios have fly screens but are next to long-flowering plants that attract...

My favourite tip that my cats taught me: Buy an expensive wand toy that you really like, then ignore the fancy end and play with the stick end. :rolleyes: My cats have moods and novelty fatigue so some play-games work for a few days and then don't.... However, wiggling a stick around under a...

BoyBoy update 3: After 7 months BoyBoy.... our favourite ToyToy ;) is STILL healing! The wound is less than 20% the original size but there is still scarring up the side of his cute little face that extends to above eye level. We gave up on any collar. Our house/window layout, catio access...

These hand made items for a gift were tested for quality by experts in comfort. They APPROVED!!!!!! I'm not sure why I think that is a recommendation, since they also love exotic boxes and attacking fly swatters! But, we printed a picture as a Happy Birthday card and feel sure Mum will love it!

Absolutely. Its only been a few months but his little personality is blossoming and we couldn't imagine our lives without him!

Finding ways to make the street stray BoyBoy happy as a new indoor cat can be an extreme sport!!! LOL. We use a torn sheet to make a Safari Tent.... occasionally we forget we're walking past the stalking lion of the Serengeti. It is amazing how much delight and humour those little paw-claws bring!

Sorry I tried to reply yesterday and my computer crashed...blast! My new rescue cat BoyBoy took a couple of days before he started eating after I trapped him. He only used the litter box after his castration. It was simply fear and stress. :redheartpump:Glad your little Bandit is adjusting to...

My vet who is not scared of a hostile cat likes my soft carrier - it works great. We keept the cat inside, push down on the carrier for its first injection! Neutering and a safe isolation room is so helpful when calming and taming a cat. It is too much for them to have many other cats around them.

I cannot tell a lie! I have played using a consistent 'exhaustion' routine depending on age, integration,etc. As they settle in with each other (and I slack off) it often becomes a game of distraction. It also depends on their moods! They watch me with those judging eyes as I give up pretending...

Great advice, I can only suggest being patient. Cats do want to come back to their Hooman Fast Food delivery machine. It may take more than a few days.... the odds are still really good! Female cats are often extra cautious.

Perhaps he has gone through this captivity exercise long enough to justify.... more captivity.... aka loving home. An idea...start working on trapping him again.....if you have a bed or bathroom you can then release him into it. The trick is the trap, it should become the feeding station he...

I always remember author M S King writing about an adult cat they adopted called Sugar. It took 3 years for her decide her new hoomans were OK. He was so fed up with this beautiful creature hissing at him daily and then one day, she liked him and then became his most adored kittykat. Who he now...
