    Neutered Yesterday, Hiding Today

    One-year-old rescued stray Jelly Bean underwent neutering and microchipping yesterday. He was sent home with one dose of painkiller to be given at 6 last evening. Last night he was very affectionate - but did not come to sleep with me as he normally does. This morning he was hiding under a...

    He came through the surgery with flying colors. He doesn't have FeLV. He weighs 12.25 pounds. He now has a microchip, and received his rabies shot in addition to his first distemper and FeLV shots. He also got a dose of Revolution to take care of the mites in his right ear, and they cleaned it...

    I purchased a stainless steel litter box from Amazon. It's quite large at 23.5x15.5x6", and is very easy to disinfect and keep clean. ZERO odors...

    I made the appointment prior to getting the cat. I'll definitely ask questions when I take him in tomorrow morning, and do whatever the vet recommends.

    No, I have not told her. I made the appointment prior to bringing him into my home. I will be certain to mention everything to the staff when I take him in tomorrow morning.

    Jelly Bean quite obviously has a belly full of worms and a right ear infection (it's red and inflamed). I brought him home Friday night, and he's scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Would his ear infection and need of worming be a contraindication to surgery? I don't know what other conditions he...

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    He is scheduled for Monday morning. He'll be examined, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The other cool thing is that he's not once tried go get out, though I've gone in and out half a dozen times. My granddaughters just stopped in and had a delightful time playing with him (he is very good...

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    I do have all but the kitchen, hallway and living room closed off, so he really cannot go too far, but I am thinking he will do okay without being shut in a room.

    Yes, and he is doing amazingly well. Acting like he has lived here forever. Playing and climbing on his tree, eating and drinking, snuggling and purring. This is all a very welcome surprise!

    The parrot is a Meyers parrot - a bit smaller than a robin. She's in a very secure cage, but I will definitely be taking precautions.

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    As soon as I have the requisite supplies and can get him to the vet for initial shots and checkup. I had a cat for three years which I co-parented with the man who was my fiance. Things did not work out for us, and Luna was more bonded to him - I did not feel that I could break them up. So...

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    My son and his family had a stray male cat, dubbed "Jelly Bean", wander into their yard this spring. Due to my son's allergies, they are unable to take him into the house. He's become an extremely friendly chap, and loves their two little children (5 and 2). I live five blocks away, and have...
