I have used Advantage II topical flea treatment for my cats, but they are still scratching (not as much as before) from time to time. I am concerned as to whether or not I am doing this incorrectly. I part the fur until I see skin and then place the open tip to the skin and slowly squeeze the...

Yep. Buster blinked and Cali decided that she needed to fight for her life. Well, it was a nice moment while it lasted.

I don't get it lol. Cali avoids Buster like the plague, I go to the kitchen and Cali is happy to crawl over her to be at the front of the line, she suddenly lashes at Buster for being too close even though she moved in. I put down food with bowls touching and she's fine to eat and walk away...

Hmmmm, it's been almost 4 weeks already now. It seems like 3 but time is flying.

So, at my work, there is a colony of feral cats. 2 of them used to stay in the bushes at my building. Buster, the black cat, was very sociable and great at begging for food. Cali, was a shy one that liked to stay hidden. Buster would beg for food and take it to Cali to share and, sometimes...

I am relieved as well. As it turns out, Buster isn't exactly welcoming to Cali so much as she has realized that a 2nd cat means double the food is being put out (divided it may be) and is looking for opportunities to steal from Cali. Cali is no longer wanting to see Buster so much as she is...

On the plus side, Buster is not so hostile to Cali any longer (no hissing, growling, or any sign of tension. In fact, Buster seems to want to go hang out with Cali now. Cali is still tense and avoids Buster's presence though. It's for the better since I still need to get her to the vet before...

OMG. I was just about to put on some shoes and go outside and she was just there sitting down calmly in front of me like nothing happened. I just cried! My baby is okay!!! Thank you guys so much for your support, I am going to smother a kitty with hugs and kisses now . . . as much as she'll...

Yes, I checked under the cabinet in the kitchen and bathroom. It's been almost 20 hours now since I last saw her, and I am thinking that hope is lost. I only had her for 3-4 days so she hasn't quite bonded with me yet. The most telling part of the whole deal is how calm and nonchalant Buster...

I pulled out the fridge, pulled the washer and dryer, all furniture is clear, laundry clear, closets clear, cabinets clear, bathroom clear, vents intact, kitty room and closet emptied and checked, . I am especially stressed since I barely got her on Saturday and she still hasn't been to the...

Thanks for your responses. Ok so, I am panicking here. I put out food and water for Cali in her usual spot in the kitty room and sealed Buster in her kennel while I went in for a short dinner shift. The food has not been touched and it has been 15 hours since I have last seen Cali. I am in a...

HELP!!! I adopted a feral cat about 3 months ago and she has grown comfortable in my home. She always wants to cuddle, play, cuddle, eat, cuddle, and cuddle. I love her and the attention, but I can't get a break. So, I recently took in her old friend Cali. Cali was a timid one that Buster...

Buster loves the little mouse on a string and no other toys whatsoever. Good news is that I can always snag her since she likes to put it in her mouth and try to walk away when she catches it (which is quite often).

Buster used to beg and bring food to Patches (the woman that adopted her calls her Cali). Cali was the shyest and most fearful one in the colony and would only come out near people if Buster was present and food was a part of the equation. I did managed to feed her directly from my hand once...

The recommended portions for her would be 1 can of wet food or 1/2 a can of dry food per day. I give her half of each across 2 to 3 meals a day (usually 3, but it has to be 2 on the weekends because of my weekend work schedule). She also gets treats for catching her mouse (she is fast and...
