I am looking for help/ideas with introduction my feral, Henry, who's been inside in a bedroom/bathroom for 6 monhs now; he wants to come out into the rest of my home; my housecat, Izzy (female) has gone into the room with Henry a few times now; sometimes she scratches at the door and will go in...

It doesn't sound like Kitty had a seizure to me; I've had a cat that had seizures and the behavior was totally different, very obvious. I would definitely bring Kitty inside but take her immediately for a full veterinary checkup, vaccinations, etc.

Just to recap:....I brought Henry indoors 3 months ago..he has been in a bathroom all that time, as seems happy as a clam....he uses his litter box, and sleeps in the tub on his blankets, eats well, etc. We have just in the past week gotten to the point that he will approach me to take small...

I would also like to know where you found these awesome cat beds; they look wonderful!

Keep up the good work!

Cool cat baskets!  They look larger than mine, your kitties look like they have room to stretch out.  Henry can curl up, or lay on his side in his, but can't stretch out full length.  He has the tub or under the vanity for that.  Mine is shaped more like a actual house; square shaped with a...

Yes, please send me that link; I have a new phone, but it's still in the box, not activated yet; I'll do that next week.  Yes, you are right, I don't want Henry to just be content in the bathroom for months, so I'll start again next week with the barrier. 

Henry is doing good; a week or so back I'd bought him a small cat/dog bed, just an upholstered rectangular bed; he wouldn't go near it, he seemed afraid of it.  Well today, I was in ROSS, and they had a cat bed that is shaped like a little house; square bottom, four sides, but it's the kind he...

Henry has now started sleeping in the bathroom sink (it's round); at first, whenever I'd go into the bathroom (the sink vanity is right by the door, on the left), he's immediately jump up and scoot back into his corner on his blanket, but now I can go in, stand there or go past him into the...

Hello! Yes, tomorrow I'll just put the "gate" up and leave the area for an hour or so, then see if he's peeking out.  I have to admit I am giving myself pats on the back for thinking of the wire shelving as a barrier/gate/  It was easy!  And inexpensive.  I would recommend this to anyone needing...

The barrier is 6 feet tall; the actual door frame is about 6 inches higher, so I taped a large piece of cardboard to the top of the door frame, just in case Henry saw this 6 inch gap and decided he could jump through, so the door is completed covered. He's a good jumper, have seen him up on...

Well, today I put up my door barrier for Henry; had it all set up, opened the bathroom door, and Henry retreated to his corner and never came over to the door to look out, even though I called to him.....I sat there for about 30 minutes.  Tomorrow I'll try again, sit by the door for an hour or...

You know what I almost did?  I went to the garden dept at home depot and looked at the wooden trellis'; this would also have been a good idea; the lattice work was large enough for Henry to get through, but a single trellis was about 6' tall, flat on bottom; I would have just had to attach some...

Well, looks like I found something that just may work, as it appears that to actually put up a screen door, I'd have to remove the regular door, big hassle.  I went into home depot, and I went on the aisle where they have shelving, like the kind you'd have in a closet for lots of shoes or...
