I hadn't thought about deli meat. That's a great idea, thanks!
I'm not sure I could do your second suggestion, though. I would be afraid of someone stealing my trap.
Well, I managed to catch another one! It turned out to be a boy with nice blue eyes. I call him "blue"! I think I have four left, at the most. I'll let you know when I catch another one.
Why do they do this? I can't fault them for finding cats and dogs a delicacy - I mean we eat cows and pigs in this country and those animals are really cute too, IMO - but do they have to torture the s*** out of the animals first!? I read on that Korean animals website that they like to beat...
Thanks for all the support! And thanks for the catnip idea - I have a bunch at home for my own cats, who go crazy over it, but never thought of using it for outside strays. Duh! I will also try the suggestion of not feeding them for a few days, but a part of me is worried they would get...
Hi everyone. I posted here a while ago asking for advice on the best trap to buy over the internet. I ended up buying a Tomahawk, and have started to trap a group of about six ferals in my neighborhood. Believe it or not, I caught the first two pretty quick (using good old tuna) got them...
First of all, neutering ANY cat will calm him or her down considerably, so however agressive Princess may be outside, it's probably because of her unaltered state, and the harsh outdoor conditions she has to live in. Once she comes inside, it might take a while, but she will probably make a lot...
Hi everyone. I need some advice. I have just discovered Alley Cat Allies, and they have a great website with a marketplace section advertising different companies that sell cat traps. I used to call a woman who I knew did feral rescue, and borrow her trap when I needed to catch any cats that...
I've stumbled onto this site myself, even before reading this post. At first, I was shocked and disgusted. Then I told myself that it's probably not true, that's it's just for shock value (saying this to calm myself down). They even have a picture of a baby (supposedly) in a glass box as...
Yeah, if I was the owner of that cat, I wouldn't be wasting my time and money with a lawyer, I would be keeping an eye on my cat and TWO eyes on my neighbors!
I don't want to be mistaken as rude, but frankly your friend and her husband disgust me. There is no reason for them to have so many unfixed cats. Well, actually, there seems to be ONE good reason for them, they probably make a few extra bucks off of selling the kittens to the pet store. I...
Thank you very much, Gus's mom, for the link. After reading this article, I will NEVER even think of using this stuff. I would never be able to handle the fact that it was my fault if one of my babies got sick and died. The old-fashioned kind of litter is good enough for me.
Hi everyone. I have had cats all my life, and have used regular litter. I have been tempted to use clumping litter because it is easier and cheaper in the long run, but I'm afraid that when my cats lick their paws after they go to the bathroom, they will injest some of the litter, and the...
I have a female cat named Kiki who can meow normally but also will "silent meow" every once and a while. She's been doing that for the last 15 years. I also have another female cat named Tootsie who can't meow normally at all. Whenever she tries, she sounds like she's gargling. When we asked...
