How perfect!

I am happy that your kitties were able to transition to indoor life. This situation was a little different in that this kitty was very stressed. His behavior and the shedding demonstrated that it would probably take months for him to even come out from under the dresser. To me that would be...

Thanks for replying! His eyes and other feral cats I have encountered pupils dilate in a widened slit fashion and stay in the upper section of the eye. My house cat's eyes pupils get large and round, covering most of the eye when they are upset. Not all feral cat's eyes are like this but I...

Yes, new hiding behavior is a sure sign of trouble! Time for the vet.

If you ever had a problem like this again.......... My beloved & departed little boy would get up inside the recliner rather than let me give him medicine. I ordered flavored liquid from a pet apothecary. He still didn't like it but it is so quick and easy to get in their mouths I...

You are moving way too fast! Look up Jackson Galaxy's introduction instructions. This should be done over a period of weeks -not days!

I have not found vets to be very good with teeth! My girl has that thing where the roots are absorbed back into the body. She was in pain but eating. I took her to a small animal dentist. They are really expensive but mine treated her like a human patient.. They did full mouth x rays & saw...

Can someone tell me why feral cat's eyes look different than house cats. Not all feral have these eyes but many do. Here is an example:

Thank you! I am not sure why Austin Pets Alive thinks this is a good plan. If I had put him in my little bathroom with just a cardboard box I think he would have been terrified 24/7. They also said it was best to keep him in the living room in a cage so he would get used to humans. This was...

I just got a foster cat yesterday! Made the mistake of letting him out in the bedroom. He is now under the dresser. I had no idea he was this wild, shy or scared! I thought I was getting a shy/timid cat. Well, he stayed there for hours not making a sound. I left for 2 hours and came home...

I agree entirely! Cats do not respond well to punishment and you can ruin your relationship quickly. And they start to act weird when you are stressed! It makes them worried. Maybe some deep breathing exercises or a relaxation CD would help the owner. Many of these are on YouTube for free...

I had a stray hanging around for about a month. Only saw her in flight and thought she was a feral. One morning she was on my porch and came up to me so I took her in. I used to work at a no kill humane society and they took her for adoption but I am keeping her at my house. She is very...

I am so sorry your kitty is sick! I don't have experience with this but I am sure others will have some information. I am so happy she had a good long life with you! Personally, I would talk to her with an animal communicator and find out what she wants for herself.

Hi All! I was seeing a cat intermittently around my house. Assumed it was a feral and was trying to come up with a plan for TNR. I live in a leash law community so getting TNR done is precarious! One day my own cat alerted me that the cat was on the porch. I took a bowl of food out and this...

Great news! Sadly, sometimes we have to compromise with our cats!
