Well, it looks as if I am out of my element here...I mean, I actually take offense at assumptions of "depression" and "mental instability" and "collector", people who have a "psychological need" to "collect" cats, because youre descriptions of these so-called "collectors" fits me. If a cat...

This is awful. I see people in here, myself included, actually defending themselves for having big hearts and trying to care for innocent animals who are products of other peoples irresponsibility. I have to question the actual motives of "animal control" and the "humane society". Jewelcat...

Jewelcat, I think alot of what you said was cruel, unfair and downright untrue. I, myself, have had as many as 50 cats and, while I admit it was a chore within itself, thier litterboxes were always clean. They were fat, healthy, happy cats who's health AND living conditions were approved by the...

Are there any rules in this forum that prohibit requesting donations from other catlovers to help out another? I mean, theres *got* to be some help we can find for this Huoston safe-haven... Any ideas? MeowMix

Garlic is great for killing fleas! But I have found its more easier for the cats to tolerate if you go to the health food store and buy garlic *oil*...I was also suprised that no one mentioned eucalyptus leaves...thats one of the most effective, natural flea-deterrent there is. You get some...

Hi Catherine, I havent, yet, heard back from the person in question...I hope I do soon, though. I'd like to know whats going on...its got me awfully worried. I'll give them a couple more days then try again. Perhaps this person got scared and decided not to do anything? Perhaps this person and...

Hi Anne Well, I never heard of a "no-kill" shelter...I'm glad if such things exists, but, if they do, then they obviously dont have them in every area of the country. Here, in my county, for instance, the only chance we have is with the humane society and they dont always have room. When...

This, I assume, is a teenager and she's very concerned about her aunts cats. Since I have been in thie situation, I'd like to try anf find her some help. I know the frustration she's feeling right now. Cats in Houston Need Help "I just recently visited my aunt, and to my surprise, she has 50...

I'm still pretty new, here, being brought in by a friend active in the "Max" the cat trials...but this is just the place I've been looking for. I have been one to take in stray cats and, at times, have had up to 32 cats at once in my home. Its nice to have a place to come and chat with people...

Yes...it is sickening...dogs are treated far batter than cats. I dont understand the difference... I have tried the pens and cages, but with so many cats, I would have to have a whole seperate room to keep them in because they just dart out when someone comes in or out the front door or opens a...

I have to ask, knowing that I'm going to probably get reprimanded for allowing my "guests" to visit outdoors (as has happened many a time), but what do I do about a man who TELLS me that he's going to kill any of my cats that get into his yard, then several come up missing for months...
