    Seeking help and advice for older feral kittens

    I have made MANY mistakes with ferals, and eventually they all came around. I too, would let them out for stimulation, which kittens badly need. and work on getting them used to your touch while they are eating. They are young enough they will forgive you soon, but this is something you cannot...

    Scout was attacked and passed away

    What's done is done, and there is no changing the facts. Scout died, hopefully quickly, and there is no going back. A dog that kills domestic animals, like cats, may progress to small children eventually, please keep that in mind. Your love for Scout, and his for you, will remain with you for...

    Will he be long fur or med you think?

    The second set of pictures looks like a longhair! 4 weeks is too young yet, it will be a few more months before their final coat comes in. Look at the bottoms of their feet, long tufts sticking out indicate longer hair. Bless you for rescuing them!!!

    Will he be long fur or med you think?

    We would like to see a picture of him standing to see his tail. That is what I go by. All kittens have baby fluff, but a tail like a bottle cleaning brush is an indicator of his coat length. He is not long haired, he would be much fluffier. I have a medium coated red cat, almost longhaired, they...

    Insulin needle touched my nail

    The cat is used to any bacteria, etc. in your house and on you, there shouldn't be a problem. You weren't injecting into the bloodstream, so the immune system will take care of anything where you injected. People like vets, or strangers outside your house could be. Just watch the site and...

    aerokat inhaler

    The thing is, you have to get him used to the inhaler. Just try to, lay it out at first and then hold it up to him. Gradually. I never could give teh inhaler to a couple of my cats. I ended up donating it to my vet. you can put them in a box with a hole cut in it, or a small carrier with a light...

    Question of the Day - Thursday September 26, 2024

    Snickers, Butterfinger, M&Ms, Gummi bears, and a Baby Ruth! I can't imagine life without these treats once in a while. Eating healthy really sucks in the taste department after a while.

    URI or aspiration pneumonia?

    They can take up to a week to completely go away. My cats are strictly indoor and I wash my hands every time I pick up outside cat plates, and somehow my cats still get it, though not near as much since I started them all on DMG which builds up the immune system. DMG has done wonders. My one...
