Our cat prefers to go outside and find loose loamy dirt or mulch in flower beds or planter areas. For this reason, her indoor litter box (a good size masonry tub from Home Depot) contains potting soil or fine mulch (whichever is cheaper, in season, or matches outdoor planters) and is kept in the...

Are you expecting a feral cat to become domesticated overnight? Set him up in the garage for starters. Living an indoor lifestyle with humans is too much too fast in this case.

I was thinking the same thing; something paranormal. The cat is definitely detecting something beyond our senses. Could be he senses his original owner looking for him.

I can assure you no cat will go through my steering wheel or near my feet or pedals when I'm driving. It's not rocket science. There are ways to prevent it. My only fear was she might urinate, vomit, or claw up the leather. I will check out carriers, always wanted one for other purposes as well.

The potential risks are obvious, but we never owned a pet carrier and took our cats and dogs to vet appointments many times without issues. The student who crashed, well, sorry to hear, but maybe she was a lousy driver or had music blasting or who knows? The cocheezie comment about a friend...

Oh, okay. I didn't make that connection from the story. I thought Niko was an outdoor stray. Now I see your concerns. And nice editing; the story is much clearer now.

Our cat has been inside this vehicle numerous times but always jumped out when I'd get near enough to climb in. But this time she appeared more comfortable and relaxed so I tried to take her for a ride. Truth is, I was probably more nervous than she was. When I closed the door her eyes got BIG...

Omondieu, I had to read your story three times cause it's hard to follow. First you talk about Niko, then you talk about "our cat", then finally you let on that you have a female cat. How is Niko "cheating" on you if he belongs to someone else? How do you know Niko's age if he's not your cat...

I've seen my cat vomit only once. It was a pile of dry food she swallowed without chewing and drank water afterwards. The dry food expanded like a wet sponge and I guess it didn't agree with her. I've cut way back on the dry since I don't think snacking on junk between meals is necessary or...

My cat loves the few things I feed her. She woofs it down until it's gone in minutes. But she doesn't like a wide variety, at least so far I haven't found many things she likes. She won't eat red meat, shrimp, or crab. She eats certain dry foods but only as an occasional snack. I give her a...

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if you were recommending a pet fountain or an outdoor patio fountain.  Thanks, I'll check into it.

What kind of water fountain?

Oh, RI. Sorry, I didn't see there was a page 2!

Hi, good chance your bird feeder attracts rodents 24/7 as well as birds, so the cat chose your place for all the action. You may not see them, but rats and skunks work the night shift.  I took my feeder down because of this. What state are you in? Just curious ...

First off, being an outdoor cat he probably doesn't need a litter box or even know what it is.  Let him go outside, it's easier for you too. Motorized garage doors terrify most cats, so that's nothing unusual. My cat is still scared of car engines. As soon as I turn the keys she runs even...
