That is good advice. I will start doing that. Now, Dynah is becoming even more comfortable around the house. She has finally discovered the back porch (unheated) which is full of windows with heavy screens. She has been in that room before but would not stay but a minute. Now, with warm weather...

Yes pearl99...Dynah is SOOO wary and ready to run at my every entrance to her " safe" rooms. She always gives herself an out or place to retreat too. She does however give the opportunity to grab her but this will still be extremely difficult. And, she has only slept in her Cat Cave once and for...

Thanks to all for your insight and tips. I do not think she will go into the trap. She looked at it last night and just walked by. She is too smart for that. I am not going to "starve" her to the point that she must go in the trap to eat. Besides, she mostly eats dry food now and when I give her...

Thanks DeesCats! Yes, trap has 1 door. I will move it into the backroom tonight with some food in it. I have it covered with a camo rain suit. Covers it completely. She has not really seen or, been in contact with the trap yet. So maybe curiosity will help.

Hello folks! Just another Dynah update for you as it has been almost 2 weeks since my failed attempt to get this amazing little Cat in the carrier to bring to the vets. She did not go back in her Cat-Cave for 2 days after the attempt, and since then she has spent little time in it. Instead, she...

Thanks guys. Actually, this makes me less stressed. Next time I will be more assertive....and have my coffee before I attempt it again!!! Thanks for your support as always :grouphug:

Well, it did not work out. Dynah was on full alert inside catcave. I tried to sqeeze the opening shut but her head was already part way out and she jumped out and ran. Dang she is strong and fast. I swear she knew something was up yesterday! I let the vet know and I will let things cool down...

Thank you Kwik! Posts like this go a very long way to keeping one sane :crazy: It will work out. The funny thing is this morning, for the first time in a while, Dynah slept in the Cat-house after her nightly roaming and playing :( NOT in her Cat-Cave in her bedroom. So I think I will try and...

Forgot about that IJ! Good idea. Thanks for the reminder 👍

Thanks pearl99! Today I put a small cat-grass container in the carrier (Dynah rarely eats treats). I have to keep the carrier in the other room because it is just too large for her room. But she LOVES cat-grass and went in the carrier part ways to get at it. The carrier has been in that room...

Thanks for the tips TT. I did call the vet yesterday to remind them of my situation. They are willing to work with me. If I cannot get Dynah to them early enough, they will not charge me for an overnight stay. That is a very nice offer that they have in place. I thought about trying to "pick...

Avery, thank you for your post. Great advice! I did not think about closing the bedroom door after setting the carrier down. I will now :) and will go over in my head the procedure. I have been doing that all week :crazy: I love how she jumps and throws those balls. I could watch these vids...

Ok guys. The time is this Monday April 22nd at 8:40 am. Dynah and I have our first meet with the new Vet! They know she is a recent feral and so they claim they will be ready for her. Mulling all of my options over, I have decided this course of action. Hopefully, she will be sleeping or just...

More good ideas. :evilgrin: I will come back to these posts as the time gets closer to kick start my mind again. Thank you pearl99 for your input and experiences too :) It is really nice to read about others past dealings with vets and how to prepare and get them there. The "throw towel over...

Thank you Avery for sharing your thoughts and experiences! Great idea about a cover over the carrier. I put a camo rain jacket over the have-a-hart trap in case I decide I have to go that route. I can imagine your Cat climbing the walls! Dynah did this when she first got in my house! I am...

This is another great idea. I only wish Dynah would eat treats. It is a rare occasion for her to do so. But the catnip may work. Even so, she is even finicky with catnip too. But I think the carrier idea may work. I will put one of her little beds in there. The carrier has been sitting in the...

I am glad that your Cats reacted in a positive way. It is almost like they know that even though they were taken to a strange horrible place, you were doing a good thing for them :) Thanks for chiming in poolcat ! I have thought about how she will behave after she returns home. I agree with...

Thank you Kwik. I suppose I just wanted to hear this from other folks as I know I have to do this soon anyways. So now I have to figure out how to get her there. I have a couple of plans and each one will be stressful (more on me than Dynah). Ok then. Time to plan this. I will start with my...

Hey guys. I finally found a Vet that would send out a stool sample from Dynah without seeing her first. That test came back and she has Roundworm. I treated Dynah in January with HomeoPet WRM Clear. This medication kills 4 types of worms including Roundworm. A question. Should I start using...

Great way to put things in perspective Kwik! I will remember this quote next time my "Cat" friends come over for a visit :thanks:
