I'm moving from a large house into a small, one room condo. I've placed two of the strays I'd been caring for into families (so pleased!) and am taking only Jack with me. The other two indoor cats are staying with my now ex-partner in the house. Here's the big question. I've taken care of a...

I've taken care of a stray for 7 years; she won't come indoors (throws herself at the glass trying to get out). She's lived a great life in my yard; shelter, food and love. Three months back another stray showed up and of course I wanted to help. But she never wanted him around. Yesterday I...

Hello all! I'm sure this has been addressed in other threads but here we go again! So, I have a two year old who is already overweight. I know it's my responsibility to address this and to ensure that she doesn't continue this trajectory. Diabetes in cats is a very real threat and I don't...

Is waking up and heading for the stairs... with four meowing and trilling behbehs trundling down the stairs in front of me. A tiny herd of little bits of my heart, all excited for the day to begin (aka FOOD TIME!) It never gets old.

I've been caring for a stray (Soots) who showed up in my yard 7 years ago. She was feral but during the first two years, she settled down and decided I was an ok person. She's had my heart for years. I'm her only friend and I take great joy in giving her her daily dose of lovins. Anyway...

So, I have to move. We'll be splitting the cats (not literally!!!) and I'll be taking Jack and Rose. Here are my two questions: When introducing cats to a new home, I'm assuming that since these two already know each other... just let them go explore the new digs? Or is it recommended that...

Hello all, I'm looking for a new cat tree, ideally 60-ish inches high. But most of the trees I am seeing online have tiny perches (13x13 or 12x12), which just aren't big enough for my larger cats. Would love some input re what brands/models have worked for you (and your cats!) Thanks!

Our most recent rescue is a 10 mo old lynx point siamese... (see my avatar photo). Gorgeous and sweet as can be. In addition to all of the usual cat awesomeness, she has an additional interesting quality. She talks CONSTANTLY. I mean, CONSTANTLY. Trills and chirps when playing, when...

I know this isn't an unusual situation but I could use my own dose of encouragement. Or straight talk! I have a 9 yr old male (jack), a 3 yr old female tortie (Jaz) and a 2 yr old female orange tabby (Rose). Jack and rose have been together since rose was a kitten and we added Jaz a year...

Hello all!   My 18 month old female orange tabby is a tiny piglet.  Growing less tiny every day.  She constantly wants to eat and has no ability to self regulate.  Yesterday I didn't realize my partner had given her her breakfast, so she wound up w a 2nd bkfst... which she devoured as though it...

Hello all, Wondering if any of you have experience with what might be going on with my cat.  Jack is 10 years old; I adopted him 2 years ago.  He'd been at the shelter for 6 months!!  Broke my heart.  Briefly, he'd been in one family w a companion cat for 6 years; both were surrendered together...

Hello all, I just updated about this situation in my other thread, but I actually now have a new situation so I'm reposting it to see if I can get some eyeballs on my question. SO I trapped that feral that's been beaten up my other feral.   He is just beautiful... huge green eyes and that...

I've posted previously about my sweet semi feral, Soots, who I've cared for for the past 5 years.  She's doing really well for a feral... probably 8 yrs old and looks very healthy.  Steady good food and a shelter has helped.  Plus she lets me pet and brush her.  ANYway, finally took her to a vet...

Hello all, My much loved and MUCH spoiled cat Jack (in profile pix) chokes up a hairball like, once every 6 to 8 weeks.  But it's MASSIVE.  It literally is the shape of his esophagus.  It's about 6 inches long and the size of a nickel in diameter.  He takes about 3 "heaves" to bring it up...

Hello all! After reading about ringworm, I called my vet to see if I could bring them a sample or whatever so that they could test, etc.  They told me "not really... it has to be a sterile sample and should be done by the vet."  I said "ok, I've been thinking about taking her to the vet for a...

I just posted about the feral I take care of who is being bullied by another cat.  I forgot to also mention that I think my feral has ringworm.  Pretty dang sure.  How can I treat her w/o taking her to the vet?  She lets me pet her (a lot!), including her head and ears so I could easily put a...

Hello all!  New to the forum... looks like there's a lot of great info here! To the point... I have 3 cats indoors (all 3 are strictly inside), and one cat outdoors.  The outdoor one adopted my house about 4 years ago and has lived in our yard ever since.  She wanders the neighborhood, but as...
