Plan: Stay calm! It’ll all be ok, so be relaxed for the kittys’ sakes Keep ferrets in laundry room for now Open curtains for cats and maybe put a cozy bed on the wide windowsill Feed cats at regular intervals so they can count on when their next meal will be In the evening have kitty time -...

Okay, I'll be sure to look into treats that aren't fattening. We don't buy meat for ourselves, but I can make an exception for the cats. That is if we can find any meat at the stores. Where I live I'm not allowed chickens or I'd do it myself. I may see if I can get away with quail as I have...

So a litter box for each room? One in the bedroom, den, and laundry room? I'd rather not have one in the kitchen. Right now we use a clay clumping litter but I'm willing to try different kinds. I would love if there's something we could compost (not in our regular pile, of course). Once we...

Okay, I will add this to the list of things to do to help the cats. Sorry that wasn't clear. I had chickens about 5 years ago while living with my parents. Our cats were indoors (Natalie and Keira- my sister's cat that still lives at my parents' house - now that I think about it, that could be...

They are! Pinceau is the tabby. He's absolutely lovely and has such soft fur. Ferrets can take down rabbits. It'd be interesting seeing a fight between a cat and ferret. "Black-footed ferrets eat usually eat small mammals, such as possums, rabbits, prairie dogs, hedgehogs and rodents." (Facts...

I've given him 2 or 3 cans in the past 6 months. Wow, I didn't realize we've had him so long! Okay, I'll look into the chicken! I'll also look into treats. I'm wary because growing up our cats were always so picky about them. Any reason I couldn't give him a thawed mouse once a week or so? He...

Oh shoot I'll stop the tuna. The ferrets are loose. We got them March 2020 (3 months after Pinceau). The cats were scared at first, but now everyone gets along! I have an extra litter box I can use. I'll put that in the room as well. Maybe under the bed since that's been his most recent...

I just asked my husband and he says he's not stressed and it doesn't wake him up. I'm a high-stress person. I get stressed because the cat's peeing, my husband didn't correctly toilet train the ferrets and I'm now cleaning up their poop all over the house, I get stressed because I'm out of work...

I'd say it's about once a day. I did mention in another comment if we are out of the house for the weekend or sleeping in another room he doesn't pee on the floor. Before covid we spent the weekend with family maybe once a month and never came back to cat pee to clean up. He gets along with my...

Thanks for the thorough response. I just ordered the kind of cleaner FeebysOwner and you recommend as well as a black light so I don't miss any pee. He loves tuna and mice (we got them for the ferrets, but they weren't eating it and Pinceau came over and chowed down). He also likes beer jerky...

Maybe it is anxiety. Should I try to get him to the vet now or wait for covid to be over? Vet offices here aren't letting people into the office; they pick up your pet at your car. I ordered a cleaner like you suggested as I've been using our regular cleaner for his pee. I read your response...

We actually did pick up that litter from the store and used it until just recently! Unfortunately it made no difference 😔 He uses it fine usually, but once a day or so will act out, so I don't think it's an issue with the actual litter box but some sort of behavioral issues that may have come...

November 2019 I took in a stray cat. He's a gorgeous tabby (you all helped me figure out what kind he is ☺️) and loves being pet. A bit skittish with noises and sudden movements but he's been getting a lot better the longer he stays here. He's neutered and doesn't seem like a feral cat (he'll...

Oh you guys are right! While the skin is intact there is nothing inside and he didn't mind at all. Although boy did I feel like a creep.

Long story short, a coworker had a stray cat in her neighborhood for months and couldn't find the owners. We took him in and I'm not certain if he's neutered. It looks like he does have balls but they are small and I'm not very familiar with the process. We will take him in to a vet when he...

No one has been able to get him to a vet. As friendly as he is, my husband got really scratched up and bit trying to get him into a crate. No amount of coaxing worked. When he seems to settle down enough we are going to take him to have any work done and also check any chips. We are thinking...

That's so interesting, I thought the Egyptians were the first! Thanks for sharing!

Okay, thank you, that makes sense! I found some tabbys on this forum that he looks really similar to so it seems to fit! I always thought tabbys were more of a striped pattern and didn't realize they could have a marbled effect.

My coworker was looking for a home for a cat that appeared in her neighborhood. They tried posting everywhere to try to find the owners but had no success so my coworker was asking if anyone wanted a cat. My husband and I took him in and he's extremely friendly. He begs to be petted and rams his...
