Hmm, so I guess the ferals basically ARE hibernating - hunkering down, not eating. They HAVE been sleeping more than usual. Seems logical, if that's what keeps them going. Welp, okay then!
As for the water, I just keep replacing it when it gets a bit icy. Yes, they do drink a whole lot more of...
Ain't that the truth. This weather is just...Yikes! Suppose the only downside is that I have to go back to school once it warms up (blah, schoolwork), but one issue at a time.
Yeah, thanks for the input, you guys. Bit of an update, they started eating again about two hours ago. And they sure...
Hi. So as you all know, or probably know, North America is just about frozen at the moment. 10 to 60 below zero. Pretty dang Cold.
But, having just mass-upgraded the cat houses, we were sure the cats would have been somewhat toasty. We even used garage insulation! But, that's not the issue. Not...
Ah, okay. That's a good sign. You keep doing that, then. (Sorry if I sounded panicky, I was recalling what poor Kitty went through!)
We've found that dehydrated/sick animals find water with a LITTLE sugar dissolved in it more appealing, just a tip.
PLEASE give priorities to questions/emergencies about living cats first before answering this one.
I say "Not Urgent" because the cat in question has already passed away. Seriously, respond to those in immediate danger before this one, because this is just something we were curious about of our...
You have no time to waste, man. Has Mickey been eating? You say he's lost weight? I'd recommend high calorie wet foods. The vet can give you some needle-less syringes to forcefeed him with. Make sure he's eating, drinking, everything. He HAS TO EAT, before he's at a stage when he can't keep it...
One of our cats, Winnie, is an approximately seven-month-old cat. He and his brother, Muffin, were former feral kittens, but the mom was tame enough to allow us to take the whole family in.
At about two-ish months old, when he slept, he'd make these loud whistle noises through his nose when he...
The kittens are about a month and a half now, and they've started peeing on the carpet in random spots. When I saw one about to pee in the AIRVENT, I quickly stuck him in the litter box. He ate some litter, I made him spit it out, and he got out and peed on the carpet again. His brother seems a...
Muffin AND Winnie (brothers) both meow when they're in the litter box. Ever since they were kittens (About six months now) they'd meow as if to say, "Occupied!" when they were doing their business. So, I wouldn't worry about it. c:
