Didn't see any fleas on Twin but they could be there. Going to try to get the girl in the normal cat carrier then bring into the vet as soon as I can. I guess untill her appointment she can hang out with me in the closed living room. As far as Nox the boy he's friendly but hisses if you get near...

I just threw caution to the wind , saw the double who has shown friendly signs . I threw myself on the ground and waited for her(didn't see any male signs in back) to make her move. She instantly ran to me tail in the air with bent tip , meowing and rubbed herself all over me and even scented my...

It is hilarious! I know as humans we tend to put human emotions and thoughts on animals but I can't help but wonder if these two planned this together . They probably saw me in my artsy black wardrobe and went "one of us" :)

Oh my gosh I know , I'm just hoping that the smaller one is fixed or the same sex as Nox. I love black cats but I don't want a ring of them around my MILs house... What a picture that would make

So this morning the truth of Nox the feral black kitty I plan to trap came to light. I had thought it a bit strange the one night about a week ago that he ran up to me meowing ... Nox is actually two kitties one feral male who is the original and I'm thinking a stray who is very nervous but...

Well it has been feeling like summer here for the past week, unseasonably warm for northern Illinois . Seems like the freeze here comes on early November. I have a bit of time, this was all so unexpected but then again so are most of the best things in life

I'm going to first try to get him a bit more used to us outside, then try the garage or catio then hopefully if he'll come in ease him into the house. I have experience building feral cat shelters for winter so if nothing else I can provide him one continue to get to know him and tame as much as...

The backyard is pretty deep so the catio could be an option if for some reason the garage didn't work out. The garage is actually in better shape then the house , its like new and has never had a car in it but it's packed with stuff at this moment but we are working hard to clear it :)

We have a huge 2 car garage and are working in clearing it out and organizing it after my father in laws death there is still tons of his stuff packed in it . We moved in here to help MIL heal and do a lot of the stuff her husband was unable to do unfortunately... So getting Nox used to the...

This is my first time with a possibly feral cat so I almost feel like I have the new mother jitters :) thank you for your advice.

Well Nox is hard to read because I've only known him for 2 months. He will approach me , at first to alert me that his food was empty ( or the night he ran up to me frantically meowing) lately though since that night he will lay outside our back door and will walk up to me even if there if food...

Hey y'all I'm going to have my first go at trapping my feral cat Nox soon before the weather gets cold here in the Midwest . After he or she... Is checked out by the vet and fixed I'd hate to kick him outside again. I live with my MIL and her dog but have a small space my husband and I use as...

You're very welcome, LisaT. My best to you and Beamer

I'm so sorry to hear about what Beamer and you are going through right now . As cat lovers we have special hearts , loving our furry family members as much as we do we always want what is best for them even if we seldom can know what their wishes are. Cats (in my experience) are more likely to...

If he walked right in my mother in law would have a bird! She's allergic to cats she claims but I hope that if we do get blessed with Nox choosing to come in she will find it in her heart to allow us to just keep him in our "wing" of the house until we are done here.

I just moved here with my husband to help out his mom and am already being called the crazy cat lady. If loving animals makes one insane there is something wrong with the world not us

Maggiedemi I can feel silly to run from them but we do what we can and in the end none of us are able to read a cats mind... That I know of. Your post made me feel a bit less guilt, thanks for taking the time to read my nervous rambling

This was our first night time encounter , today in the morning he was back to his same old distant silent self :)

Thank you so much for your wisdom , I have never ran from a cat before but due to the unfavorable environment for this encounter I figured better safe than sorry
