Thank you everyone for your help! I will make sure he has more water bowls as it is a good idea to asap do. I will try to stimulate him more but the hydration is key. He off and on eats the kidney diet but at least that and also w/ the raw Vital Essential's beef or rabbit. He really likes Sheba...
2 questions: His feral life ended this summer as he was caught & we made him indoor only for his safety. He is anywhere from 5ish-8ish yrs old, no one knows? Now tho he only sleeps alot (w/ a tiny, sometimes, wheeze) & pees/poos/eats ok, & walks a bit then lies down to bed again. I play string...
Sending good thoughts & prayers for your baby boy. I KNOW how close a feeling you have w/ him. Threads like these always wake me to reality & the seriousness on ANY illness let alone ones this serious.
PS -- Tarasgirl, Excellent post & very well said. It is NOT always in our hands nor our...
1st time I covered it & caught him as he was unknowingly going into a trap. 2nd time I did not & tho he was wary of it, hunger got him. ;)
He went in both times as hunger & smelly roast chicken was too much to resist hence overwhelmed my crazy big Tomcat boy. :)
I finally caught our feral last summer after 3yrs. Used a safe humane metal trap-door spring trap, tried to lure him in -- w/ 1st trying KFC chicken, but failed! But then using store bought roast organic grilled chicken, w/ a trail begun outside the trap then gradually left bites at every few...
PLEASE by all means if you've ANY chance to get the cat inside 4ever do so! The reward of homing ANY kitty (we've got a 5-6yr old or so, ex-Tomcat feral, now fixed -- he's unknown age really) & his life is so much better. You can provide safety, shelter, rest, food, med care if needed, etc.
I'd...
Oh my no, my heart is going out to you. :(
I am stunned seeing this just now in middle of night. I can't process this type of thing as it hits me like I'm there, I'm sorry, but know I will pray God has a plan and Morton is with him now. I can't even find words right now. Please take care of...
I'm also sending prayers and thoughts to you and poor Morton. I hope that Furballsmom's advice helps too. I know how hard it is to have a beloved pet suffering in any way. Please give him as much love as you can for all of us here.
When my feral was outside, he had a Kitty Tube bought off Amazon for 159.00, 2 Discs of 25.00 each. 2 warming pads. A 20.00 coleman camping mat, & an internet bought brown one of 25.00 on Amazon. he had a double insulation layer off AMAZON TO FIT HIS KITTY TUBE (TUBE BOUGHT 12/19/17 & THIS ALL...
So very sorry to hear of Luna's passing. :( But I know you knew he loved you and you very much loved him too -- he KNEW this too. This beloved bond will NEVER be broken and I know in the Afterlife, you WILL see and hold him again at Rainbow Bridge. :)
These are THE very hardest threads to read...
