I have 7 cats to feed. 5 in the house and 2 in my barn. One is FIV+ so I'm opting to cook. If I've calculated correctly, at 3oz per day per cat I need at least ~21 oz per day.  So for rounding ease, that's 2lbs per day?  that seems like a lot. Am I correct?   Am going to trial with about 9lbs...

Hi all, I don't get on here much or post much but wanted to touch base with my latest ferel story and some new plans I had for this winter. In December of last year a black cat (ferel) would show up in my barn just begging for food. Well, my one barn cat Hobbs didnt receive him well and...

Hi all, been a long while since I've been on here. No news is good news I suppose. Now, "Trooper" showed up in my barn in December. He was food driven and just starting to accept touch when we tried to capture him for neuter. We didn't realize he was already neutered although his ear was tipped...

I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I didn't find anything. I just recently I tried transitioning my fat kibble addict to canned again to no avail. Before I gave up completely, I thought of an idea (and it worked!) I took about 1/4 cup of her kibble and ground it up in a (clean)...

I bid on 4 cat collars. I've been meaning to get them collars for identification purposes but put it on the back burner for a while. All this talk about collars lately and I "was in the mood"... There are so many cute breakaways on ebay it's hard to choose! I imagine before all is said and...

Honey got one of her soft claws stuck in the (tightly woven) loop large area rug and was screaming to be freed. It was a pain to release her. The threads got wound on top of the cap and would'nt come off. I recall someone else having a scare like this. I need to know if there's a way to...

So....Yesterday I ordered a pink set of nail tips and after I did it I had a feeling I ordered the wrong size. Something told me mediums were going to be too big. She's fat, but small boned so I couldn't go by weight. I was in town yesterday so I stopped at petsmart. I bought the smalls...

We just bought two new tables and a sofa and a recliner. I have one stray that I brought in last December (I thought she was pregnant). Is there a spray or something I can use to deter her from clawing at the new furniture? I have wood pieces from the wood burning stove that she has access to...

Hi all I took Kirby in to the vet yesterday because he seemed to be drinking alot. He has a UTI so we are treating that...BUT the vet says he needs his teeth cleaned. I figured as much. I've given my kitties raw in the past and was wondering if I started Kirby back up religiously on some...

This one looks rough. This is the second one with a broken/messed up tail. (I haven't seen Bootsie (the other one) in a while) I hope someone isn't torturing them nearby somehow. She'll be safe in my barn for as long as she wants to stay. It's been behind my round bale in my barn all day. The...

I brought my barn stray in the house 2 months ago thinking she was pregnant, took her to the vet and the vet says "Yep I think I feel something." I get prepared, start feeding her kitten food as much as she wants, and post pics and get everyone excited....then when she should have had them, she...

Do you guys think that I should take Honey to the vet to find out how many she has inside? My thinking was that if she does have alot, maybe she'll need a c-sec? Monday will be 60+ days for sure and now I'm starting to freak. Tomorrow is Saturday... my last chance to get to the vet before...

I go back to work tomorrow night, so DH is on watch for me this weekend. I didn't think she could get any bigger.

I'm expecting my Lil Piglet to deliver the end of Feb. but boy is she round now! She can still do everything including jumping up onto my laundry table, but it takes a concentrated effort before she attemps. I imagine she'll be too uncomfortable before long and will abandon attempts. I'm...

Hi all, I posted a while back about my 2 barn cats one feral (tom?) and the other very friendly. I brought Honey inside due to the overnight temps. I haven't been able to get close to the other cat. Tonight it is supposed to be 8 degrees. Anyhow, I think she may be pregnant. She is quite...

Hi all! I have two barn cats that showed up this past summer. One "Honey" I was able to tame in about a week and now she's a luvbug. The other "Bootsie" is still very much feral and looks to have had a rough time. It's tail is broken and probably full of fleas and worms..I do put worming...

Well, in doing some research, I think my 4 yr old cat has this condition. he had what started out as a scab by his eye and now he has a 2" strip of hair missing from his ear down his neck. It's dried up and healing now, but there's another scab on the other side now. Are there any things I can...
