Are you saying that you've given this gabapentin to your ferals personally, without the assistance of a vet? It sounds as though that's what you meant since you said you used it in order to get them to the vet. I will DEFINITELY check out mobile vets, because that might be the way to go. And...

Yes, I have the option of flying back to Michigan (via Chicago), so I've considered taking Mommy on the plane. I did this with one of my sister's cats, flying from Michigan to California many years ago, but that cat was not feral. Thank you for the info on various pet transportation options...

I have taken one friendly adult feral with me when I last moved because there were no other feeders or anyone who showed any interest in stray cats in that neighborhood.😢 I also took along a kitten rescued from that neighborhood a month prior to the move. In the end, both of them got adopted by...

I plan to move from California to Michigan before summer, and although I would leave my black cat Mommy with someone who would love her and care for her, I don't see that happening. Mommy has been a feral in the large mobilehome park where I live for probably eight or nine years, and she's been...

Aw, I'm so sorry you have to deal with MS. My sister-in-law had that, so I'm familiar with the body not cooperating. I am patient with Budjr, but it gets to be so frustrating. As I told furballsmom, I wouldn't be able to put diapers on her -- and I certainly wouldn't be able to use baby wipes...

Budjr is a unique cat (but then I imagine most of our fur babies are unique). She would NEVER allow me to put cat diapers on her. When I first got her, I wanted to put a collar w/a bell on her in case she went outside. OMG, you'd think I was trying to scalp her. She would have none of it...

Thanks, Furballsmom. I did think of the tarp over the bed, but what happens when I GO to bed? She already peed in the bed while I was sleeping in it. I did cover it, and I'm going to sleep in the other bedroom tonight (I go to bed rather late), just so I can get some sleep. (With my luck...

Thanks, but she doesn't have arthritis; in fact, according to the vet, she doesn't "have" anything. He thinks her in appropriate peeing is a combination of age (primarily) and possibly her neurological issues. Even if I take her to the litter box and put her in there, she jumps out...

HELP! I was almost at my wit's end, and this latest incident with my older cat really puts me there. She's heading towards 16 years old; I just took her to the vet two weeks ago, where he ran blood tests, etc., and she got pretty much a clean bill of health -- other than the fact that she has...
