Oh, and about selling...my husband is allergic to cats. We have two, which is his max. We plan to take the stray (who was abandoned by someone in the neighborhood when they moved), somehow...she's female, and one of our cats is female, and they fight through the glass all the time. Taking a...

I will give it a try. I checked around and there's a local animal shelter linked to the TNR search, although I didn't see anything on their website. Hopefully that works!

I feed a feral and a stray cat on my back deck every day. I've never had any trouble with them and really enjoy it. Then a new cat showed up - big, sleek, and a bully. He started chasing my other cats away, taking their food, etc. This is bad enough, but he's positively covered my deck in...

I would LOVE to get another cat...but my husband is allergic.  Two cats is his limit.  :(  For the moment, I'm going to focus on engaging her in play a little more.  Anything to tire her out!

I have a 13 - 14 y.o. male tabby who's really laid back, and a 6 y.o. female who has always ruled the roost.  They are affectionate with each other - groom each other, sometimes play together...they've been together since the 6 y.o. was 6 months old.  The problem is that the younger cat has a...

Clean bill of health from vet!  :)

I'm glad your cat was all right too!  My cat is all back to normal now - sleeping, eating, grooming, behavior in general.  As I'd hoped yesterday, I probably just stepped on the edge of his 'fat roll' and gave him quite a pinch.  We've both been fussing over him and I'll continue to keep a close...

Thanks so much for your response!  An update - my cat came downstairs a little while ago.  Totally normal behavior...jumping on the window sill to look outside, tapping my arm and jumping in my lap, purring and cuddling...I think he's all right!  I'm going to keep a very close eye on him.  If he...

I was carrying a large box this afternoon and didn't see that my cat was asleep in a doorway.  I stepped on him pretty hard.  He screamed, bit my leg (he's so gentle and has never, ever bit anyone) and went running.  I found him in my office and felt his ribs for broken bones (I didn't see what...

We have another cat, going on 2 yrs old, who has no interest in going outside.  My 'problem' cat has ZERO interest in playing with the other cat or our dog (they've all been together a while) - his all-consuming interest = going outside.  He won't play with toys, turns his nose up at catnip, no...

Wow, that looks amazing!  We couldn't do that at our current house (no available downstairs windows, the way the house is set up!) but we hope to move in the next 6 months and I'll see if we can set something like that up!

I'm absolutely desperate about this situation.  Male tabby - neutered - 10 years old - I've had him 8 years - and he LOVES to be outside.  HOWLS to go outside.  We live in the city with an unfenced yard.  I've tried a harness, I've tried a long leash on a spike, I've tried putting him in a mesh...

Thanks, the vet sounds like a good idea!

I adopted my adult male tabby from the pound when he was "about" a year and a half old - their estimate. When I took him to my vet, though, he thought that kitty might've been a little younger. Even at the year and a half estimate, he's only 9 years old now...hardly geriatric. But my...

I've been torn between wanting to encourage her to be affectionate and wanting to get a good night's sleep...I guess I'm hoping to get to the point where it won't wake me up any more!
