Hi All, I TNR'd a friendly stray mid-last year. He really is a sweet cat right up until he isn't. He went through a toe nipping stage, no problem, we dealt with it and he doesn't do it anymore. I was petting him one night when it was drizzling, I was leaning down to pet him and all of a...

I was able to trap Khan, despite the trap only being out there for the previous feeding (forgetting I was supposed to skip the feeding previous to trapping.) He walked right in and I closed the door. I'm sure I've destroyed the good will I built up with him, however, his overall life will be...

Well, tomorrow is trapping day, trapping morning really. The TNR group did not have a trap. I have bronchitis and I am supposed to be taking it easy. I bought a trap that I could get delivered asap on Amazon. It's probably not an ideal trap, but if I can get one of the two in there, I'm...

I'll have to check for other TNVR groups - I'm in Orlando, so there should be multiple options. Although I have reached out to other groups and they all point me back to the one I have the appointment with. My HOA may have a trap, I should reach out and see if it's available. I'm not sure - I...

Definitely recommend playing with her right before bed. Although with her injury that might be tough, so see if she's interested or not. I get more sleep on the nights when I play with my Jo before bed. If I don't there is a significant increase in the amount of meowing while I'm trying to...

Unfortunately, I am pretty committed to not having cats in my home after my current kitty, Jo, moves on. I was tested for allergies twice before I got cats and had no cat allergy. I adopted 2 cats at the same time, fell in love, they became part of my family, and THEN I became massively...

Woah! That is awesome!! I'm pretty intimidated by trapping and the whole process, so I appreciate all of the insights you are sharing. I do have a laundry room where I could possibly isolate in the trap, highly dependent on trap size though as it's a small room. Appreciate the note about...

I am not a vet - and I am sure there are other reasons why a cat might drool. When my Jasper drooled it was because he was having kidney issues. Do you know if your kitty has been using the litter box normally? Definitely recommend a trip to the vet though, they should be able to help...

Thank you all for your input - it is truly appreciated! It's good to know that Mister Meowgi will likely not morph overnight into an aggressive tom. That is reassuring - I'm definitely leaning towards Khan at this point. I definitely do worry about him getting injured severely during a fight...

Thank you! That is what I am hoping, I really want to get him neutered, I think it will help a ton. Not sure if there's something else going on since he's remained so skinny. Appreciate your input!

Hi All! I've been feeding 3 strays for a few months - 1 TNR female and 2 unneutered males. I have an appointment to get one neutered via a TNR group. I've never trapped before and I have to provide transport to/from the appointment. I don't feel like I can successfully trap 2 cats at the...

Hi All! TLDR: Unneutered male cat has been seen fighting and routinely shows up with face scratches. I got him an appointment to be neutered and they said he can't have mange. After google told me mange usually starts on the head I'm now wondering if he has mange instead of fresh fighting...

Thanks! I wasn't allergic, literally tested negative for cat allergies twice in my life. Got two cats, fell in love with them *BAM* cat allergies off the charts. I'll add some photos as soon as I can, good to know!

That's true - I just remember trying to keep Jo from Jasper's food when he was the only one with kidney issues and it was a daily struggle. Thanks for the welcome! Since I live in a cat friendly community now I'll probably have more questions and things to share in the future :) That is such...

Thanks kittyluv - they've been eating at the same time for 3 weeks now, but almost always with a screen door in between them. The challenge is that Jo is not a super fan of her food and she grazes on it during the day. So if there's any food left, I'm worried that Jewel will start eating it...
