    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Hey guys! Sorry for the very late update. This will probably be my last post for awhile. Just wanted to let you all know that Minnie is doing wonderfully and has adjusted very well to our household. She finally left the basement and spends most of her time in the living room with us. She still...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: Minnie still stays in the basement all of the time. And she still hisses at my other cats and runs away from them whenever they go down to visit her. We recently cleaned out our basement and she found our couches and that’s where she sleeps now. We went down to see her and this is what...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: I’ve noticed that Minnie is particularly aggressive towards my male cat, Pinky. He attacked her a few times when she was still living outside. He would slip out when I tried to feed her and their would be a huge fight. I guess she still remembers him. Whenever she sees him through the...

    This is pinky in his cage. He seems pretty relaxed. His numbers are going down. We’re hoping he can come home tomorrow.

    Hyperthyroidism advice

    Why did she have to stay for 2 weeks? Pinky’s thyroid levels are very high. Normal range is supposed to be 3-4 and his are 18. So I’m worried he may have to stay longer than most cats. They have a live camera feed on him so we can keep an eye on him. He is very scared and is hiding in a paper...

    I know its been awhile since I replied to this thread, but I wanted to update you all on Pinky’s condition. He is scheduled for his Radioiodine treatment today. My mother is dropping him off right now. I know this is the best thing for him, but I can’t believe how much I’m going to miss him. He...

    Remembering my cat Mama.

    Thank you all for the replies. I can’t tell you how much your words mean to me. Its been a long process, but I’m learning how to think about her without crying and feeling guilty. I just hope she understands that I did my best with her. I wish I could have a sign that she is ok wherever her...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: Well she had quite a day today! First of all, she used her litter box! Both pee and poop. Yay! Next, we found a vet who would come to our house to give her an examination and her shots. That was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. But they said she’s in good health. They...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Does anyone have any other advice on how to get her to use the litter box? I’ve put dirt and leaves in it, but she still hasn’t used it. She really doesn’t like to be picked up so I can’t put her in it. She hasn’t peed since we first brought her inside and she hasn’t pooped at all. I hope she...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    I brought in her porch chair cushion and put it in the bathroom. This is a picture from the camera in the bathroom. She is lying on it now and seems to be relaxed enough to fall asleep. Thank you all for suggesting that. I would never have thought of that.

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: I opened the bathroom door and she came out of her hiding spot. She let me touch her and started purring. She‘s meowing a lot. I sat with the bathroom door open and she walked around and rubbed herself on me. She is very dirty because she peed on herself. My mother cleaned out the...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: She’s laying behind the toilet in a little ball. She hasn’t eaten. She peed once on the floor. I don’t know if she knows how to use a litter box. She cries when she hears our voices. I sat near her earlier. I talked to her. She calmed down a little. But she didn’t come to me. Is there...

    Trying to figure out if this cat is feral or not

    Update: I’m so afraid. We just locked her in our downstairs bathroom. She has everything she needs down there. But it’s breaking my heart hearing her cries. She must be so afraid. Am I doing the right thing? She peed herself when we grabbed her. She’s very quiet now. I hope she’ll be ok.

    Remembering my cat Mama.

    When I first saw her, she was cowering in the corner of my sister’s bedroom. She wouldn’t let anyone touch her. She would hide anywhere she could fit. We found her hiding in the basement ceiling one day! Don’t ask me how she got there. It’s hard to believe this frightened kitty would become the...

    Update: Kitty still shows up everyday. She sleeps on her chair on the porch all night. I feed her breakfast in the morning and she leaves afterwards. We still don’t know where she goes, but she crosses the street to get here. We worry about her crossing the street. We want to keep her inside...

    Thank you all for the responses. I’m forever grateful. I have another question. We’ve been crushing his pill into a powder and mixing it into his wet food to get him to eat it. Is it ok to crush the pill? I looked it up online but got mixed answers. The nurse at his vet office said she thought...

    I am sincerely grateful for your responses. The information you’ve provided is invaluable to me. I’ve been talking with my mother about the current situation and we’ve decided to continue the methimazole for 30 days, as recommended by his doctor, then to ask about the Radioiodine treatment. I...
