Hi. It’s been a very busy week or so. Whitey had has a vet visit a week ago thurs. I had been in touch w an agency that deals w thousands of ferals and they set up an appt w a vet they use regularly. They removed a section of his skin (that bad wound in the picture) and stitched and stapled...

Thanks for all the hope and support and advice. I do feel like there is small progress each day and week. It’s slow going but life is not a rush. He seems to be blinking a bit more w me but honestly I cant be sure. I’ll stay the course. For now, I’m mostly concerned about his wounds. I do...

Well.... I had hoped for better healing of his wounds... This one on the right side of his neck was always the worst. Tonight, he’s in his carrier in a position to allow me to see sand photograph... I think the picture says it all but I do see him scratching it on camera...it still looks raw...

I did check the camera and found he has eaten and is doing ok. You make great points - Im kinda like this w all animals. I put food and water outside for many of the wild animals. And I’m the same way if I notice differences or a shift in nature. Sometimes it’s when females are pregnant or...

It looks like he’s eaten all of his treats from last night and some dry food and I see He’s pooped- so maybe he just doesn’t like the wet food and he’s not very hungry. Just seemed like a coincidence that might spell him not feeling well. I’ll give him some wet food that I know He’s liked in the...

I appreciate all of the helpful stories and advice. I think maybe a tiny bit of progress. But I never know if there are steps backwards too. The past couple of days I decide to play w whitey’s toys in front of him. And for the first time, his awareness and head movements were similar to a...

No matter how many times I write thank you, it can’t express enough how helpful everyone has been with info and support. So to try and answer the questions, he did not pee at all in the bowl. Really quite accurate w getting it all outside. I smelled the food and no pee at all. I do believe he...

I think maybe you are right. For 2 straight days, no pee outside the box. Today in 2 places. One was on a pee pad. The other, caught on video, he pees on the side of his food bowl. Which goes under his water bowl too. Anyone have an opinion on this? And do we think neutering would help? I put...

Just a quick update: I looked closer at the feliway diffuser and saw it was empty. I thought It had a little left but that wasn’t the case. I plugged In a new one and for 24 hrs, no pee outside the box. We will see later today if that’s still the case. If so, does this mean the random peeing...

He seems to be “all business” when I’m not around. Sleeps, eats, drinks, pees, poops...I see Him stretching and scratching and that’s about it. Perhaps that’s what cats do most of the time. I hope He becomes more social to expand his freedoms... I do Have feliway. I’ve had it since the first...

The camera shows that he spends most of the time outside the carrier, on the top of the stairs that lead down to the basement. It’s prob the warmest and darkest spot. He takes several naps (I’m guessing) and comes down for food and water and litter boxes. He did scratch his wounds but just a...

Thanks again for the replies. Incredibly helpful. Genuinely I’m appreciative. I do have 2 litter boxes for him. Mostly he does pee in one and poop in another. He will only poop once in one box. And usually in one corner. As far as food, you may be right. He may be catching up on nutrition...

Hello all. Sorry for the delay. Just a busy few days. So... Whitey does not have a UTI. The tests were negative. The vet said the peeing could be explained by possible stress or behavioral. I have put down a puppy pad. He has used that 3 times in a week. It’s not everyday that he pees outside...

Thank you to all once again. Genuinely, as a collective, this site seems to have more info than the animal hospital. Furballsmom - thank u for all the product info. I will Look at that info more closely later today. Norachan - they did get a urine sample that they are testing. Hopefully I’ll...

They didn’t have any advice. They admit it’s difficult w a feral cat that isn’t ok w contact yet and is still afraid. They did say maybe to consider medication that might tame him a bit and help w the peeing, if in fact that only turns out to be behavioral...plenty of fun
