Yes, that's what I'm going to have to do, starting tomorrow, I think. I'm also going to take Kris107's advice and not squirt, but dribble. Followed by a tuna treat. She won't like it, but hopefully she'll get over it!

Not refrigerated, and I warm it between my hands before putting it in. She doesn't like the ear rubbing, unfortunately!

She comes, then retreats. She lets me pet her occasionally. Today I even managed to get her flea meds applied! Victory! I'm going to smother her with attention for the next several days and have my husband help me with the ear meds part, I guess. She's going to hate it but she really needs...

My husband could help! She's already getting lots of treats...she's just too smart for us! :)

The feral cat that "came" with our property six years ago is now elderly, spoiled, and lives on our porch. Now that it's cold, she's relocated to our heated barn for her comfort. We recently took her to the vet over some patchy fur (she's allergic to fleas) and the vet noted that her ears are...

Will do! Soonest appointment is mid-December but maybe there'll be a cancellation! :)

Original name unknown...we call her Claudia. :)

That's a great idea! I'm going to basically do whatever the vet recommends. :)

Her ear is clipped (and she's never had babies), so she was clearly a part of a TNR program at one point! I've never taken her to the vet. She's always been happy and healthy outside and I didn't want to traumatize her with the drive/visit. That's a good idea about the carrier...I'll put it...

I will do that! I don't think I'm going to try it myself. I'm going to call the vet on Monday to make sure she sees ferals!

Actually, no. We put a feral cat "house" on the front porch (insulated rubber container with straw) and she much prefers that!

Help! We were "adopted" by a feral cat when we moved to our rural property 6 years ago. She's quite tame with us (lets us pick her up...briefly), but is afraid of visitors and hides. She was a barn cat but now she's elderly and "retired." We feed her daily, fresh water, heated house on...

That's probably a good idea!

That's a good idea! I just glared at her and said, "NOOOOOOO." Hopefully she doesn't do it again, but if she does, I'll try that.

I adopted a senior cat three years ago. The first two years, she bit me all the time. She was just angry and grumpy. My husband and I were patient with her and gave her a lot of affection, and she finally stopped biting and became affectionate and friendly. No problems, and then this...

I will look into that! They don't seem to like chicken (regular chicken, not freeze dried). I'll cut it down to a sprinkle for now!

I read about nutritional yeast as a good topper for wet food, especially for picky cats. I started putting a light sprinkle on my two cats' wet food twice a day (they get wet food 3x/day). They love it so, so much and now have started refusing to eat unless I put a pretty generous pinch on...

She *was* feral and still won't tolerate other people, but she's fine with us! Today she's eating not only pureed cat food, but chunked tuna. She's wolfing it down and is much more active. I'm going to keep an eye on her, but it seems like she's feeling better!

When we moved to our property, we inherited a feral barn cat. We've lived here for 5 years and slowly, over time, she's become comfortable with her. I feed her on our porch every day and she spends the day sleeping on our porch chairs. She's fairly elderly now. I noticed that she hasn't been...

I do separate out their food and little boxes. They all have their own, or at least one for each cat! They rotate through the cat beds, which no one seems to mind. The bully boy likes the feather wand best, but he gets bored so easily. He never spends more than five minutes with any...
