i've thought about the possibility of injury while using drop traps as well. they don't sound like they'd be nearly as effective or safe as a humane trap with a trigger system is what i've learned! i haven't considered that there are other animals that could be eating the food we set out, but...

you're incredibly lucky to have a cat like that!

yeah, i figured that all out pretty easily. i'll measure it out and feed accordingly based on the calories.

no, i meant each. after looking at the rest of the posts on this topic i went to take a look at their bag of food and found plenty of answers! not sure why i didn't think of doing that before. as with other bags of cat food there's a chart showing how much you should feed based on your cat's...

there are probably a few places on this forum that this would fit into, but i'll just put it here. one of my cats, Beeb, is a little more than overweight and i want to get her to lose some of her fat. the best way to do this would be to decrease the amount of food she gets daily and to play with...

you could always use fans or buy tiles for them to lay on. those are ways i know to keep rabbits cool, but they'd probably work for kittens just as well.

wow, those people WERE lucky. sounds like you've had a lot of luck yourself, though. i did guess that making/buying and using a drop trap might be more difficult than buying a trap, but i did discover some that were built in with a way to get the cats into a carrier fairly easily. sadly no one...

that was how my brother caught one of my current cats, but they were very young. i'd imagine it would be different for adults, especially if they weren't like yours. if there are, for whatever reason, no TNR groups or other places that'll help me out we can always try that.

that actually would be awesome! goodness, that little guy. i don't know how a cat could do that either, but i guess he found a way!

thanks for the help! i actually didn't even know TNR groups existed, but i'll have to see if there are any for my area. if i can find one that helps out with everything i need to worry about, then i suppose a DIY trap doesn't even need to be considered, nor do i have to bother with buying my...

there are a few feral cats that roam my subdivision and both me and my mother would like to eventually trap some of them - maybe even all of them, if we're lucky - and get them spayed/neutered before releasing them again. every once in a while we see a new batch of kittens and of course we'd...

nice name! don't worry, i found it pretty easily :p

my cats are all shorthaired, but i still need to brush them, of course! i once watched this video that showed a way to make a comb for pets that worked amazingly well, and it is metal. it'll save you a bit of money, too. i can link the video because i can't really describe perfectly how it's...

thank you, too! who knows, maybe they are sisters. i actually read that calico thing somewhere, too. i'm subscribed to a newsletter on a vet website and i remember getting an email with some new articles and one of them spoke of a very rare male calico kitten. it's pretty interesting.

Ruby does look like her! Zelly's pretty cute.
