Day after day after day it has been horrible here, The sky is orange the tastes terrible and I am now on my third sinus infection. Really its pretty bad. Some of the cats are bothered a little by it, they occasional cough but not as bad as me. What has bothered us more is the heat and the...

My experience is that things change, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. I have 2 orphans that I have bottled feed and gone from stage to stage with for the last year. They stuck to each other first and wern't interested in the others. There are 3 / 4 older cats that were not really interested in...

As I write this the 28 cats that I have been raising, all the offspring of a feral mom, are at a spay and neuter clinic getting wormed, and shots and fixed, finally. I am waiting for the call to come and pick them up. I have been trying to get this done for months but there was never room or...

Oak, wow I envy you I can't get that here. Dry firewood should not be a problem. There are a lot of varities of oak, some are a problem but I think most are not. Also it's often the sap that is usually a culprit so dried wood likely will not be an issue. Some leaves if burned can produce...

Cats pick up pollen and other allergins on their fur. It is possible that they are reacting to something other than the cat. I know mine pick up grass pollen which I am allergic to.

So it has been a little more than a month since the last comment here and sometimes I am amazed by what can happen in a month. It snowed on Saturday then dropped cold, about 15 degrees. Has yet to get back above freezing and according to forecasts we will get one day in the high 30's and then it...

I currently have a big batch of kittens and the little ones behave the same way. They are squirmy, life for them is busy and they don't want to be held to long because they need to explore as much as possible in between naps. I can sit down in the grass and the older ones will climb on my lap...

You have also had the fun of everything being on fire just to make it more interesting!

What is ironic is I am now having the opposite problem. Because of the virus shutdowns, including a number of spay and neuter clinics we now have a population explosion of cats. There is a feral mom that I somewhat tamed, depends on her mood how much she lets me handle her, who has had several...

Owls will compete with cats for mice and such but there is usually a pretty abundant supply. I have had some cats disappear mysteriously and never found out what happened to them. No signs of struggle, no paw prints, no blood, nothing. The neighbors dogs maybe, some left out poison maybe, who...

With my kittens I just let them have as much dry food as they want. Keep some in the bowl for it to snack on whenever it wants. Kittens go through a lot of food because they are putting it into growing. If they don't get enough to eat they can become stunted. I would also not soak the food...

Somehow I had missed your comment here. When the three white kittens showed up I was pretty surprised. They were at first totally white and with the first little eye showing through those were pink. I was wondering albinos? So I started a thread about that. That is here : Albinos maybe...

Don’t know if it makes a difference about anything but her first litter all ended up with green eyes and unusually long tails. Their tales are about 2 inches longer than normal and they hook the ends over like a sheapards hook when they walk. I tried to look that trait up but found nothing on it.

I think I understand what your asking. In my limited experience what I have seen is yes mom's can get aggressive towards their older kittens if they have younger ones but its not really nasty but more just a bat or two and some verbal stuff. But that is often how mom's train their kittens...

Lint and spare hairballs and some bird seed for bait.
