    Mama Catss only wants human food

    I was misleading in my original post, I just edited it. She isn't pregnant (thank goodness) she showed up six years ago pregnant and we adopted the kittens out and had her spayed. But we just kept calling her Mama so my husband officially named her Mama Catss in honor of Mama Cass (:

    Mama Catss only wants human food

    My maybe 7 year old (she was a stray six years ago) has become super picky about her wet food, I throw away more than she eats. I finally found a Fancy Feast "appetizer" she will eat, but that can't be good long term. (She has access to dry at all times - I'm not sure how much of that she eats...

    A Brush For Clumping Hair?

    Hi everyone, I have a cat named Mostly Feral. Her name is an exaggeration but she’s not what you’d call social! Most people don’t know she exists because if she sees a human other than my husband and I she is in the basement in a flash. She likes face scritches from us so she gets lots of those...

    Cat enclosures - do they work?

    Hello everyone,  I have three indoor cats and we recently got an 8-month-old beagle. When we had dogs before (our 17 year old and 14 year old passed away in 2013) we had a dog door. The cats roamed freely as they had my whole life (we always had a dog door when I was growing up). But I didn't...

    Semi-Feral Cat Won't Warm Up to Me

    "Belle seems convinced that I'm the grim reaper come to take away her soul (presuming, of course, that she has a soul)." Ha ha! The best thing for a cat owner is a sense of humor. You've got that covered!

    Semi-Feral Cat Won't Warm Up to Me

    I have a cat who is actually named "Mostly Feral." I rescued her from a feral litter (domesticated, outside mom) at about 8 weeks old. I have lavished love upon her for six years.  She's nowhere near as disdainful of affection as your cat, but any and all interaction is at her discretion. She...

    what's the meaning behind your username?

    Ha, I thought of a book immediately too: Kestrel by Lloyd Alexander. The second in the Westmark trilogy. (:

    Cat brining in live lizards and birds

    Before our dogs passed away, we had a dog door, so the cats were free to come and go 24/7. In the spring especially, we would wake up constantly to the triumphant hunter's cry of a cat and know that it was time to "GET THE NET!" Yep, they let so many birds, bunnies and mice free  in the house...

    My cat has an outdoor friend...

    I guess that doesn't mean he hasn't since been adopted though!  I guess that doesn't mean he hasn't been adopted as well though!

    My cat has an outdoor friend...

    I apologize if someone already noted this, but the post said "it has it's ear clipped so I am assuming it has the basic shots and is either spayed or neutered." Do you mean an ear tip is notched? Does that not mean it is part of a feral colony and has been trapped and neutered? Maybe there is...

    Average lifespan of indoor female cat that's spayed?

    Our cats have all been spayed or neutered and have been long lived. Until recently, we had a dog door so they were all  indoor/outdoor. I had one cat  Snowy(a girl) from the time I was 6 until I was a senior in college. She died of leukemia. We had a girl, Sheila, who died of kidney failure at...

    What's the longest you have had a spay stitch stay in?

    I'm going to give it a try tonight and if I don't feel comfortable, I will take her in. It looks pretty simple, but she turns from docile to maniac when placed on her back. I left the vet a message and they will get back to me I'm sure. I just want to make sure that was her only non-dissolving...
