Hey all, So I have an interesting situation going on with my boy right now.  He is 5 years old and always had amazing medium-length hair that was long enough to be fluffy, but never matted.  This is an older picture just to show the length.  I wouldn't call him a full longhair by any means; he...

Hi all! I have 2 litters of kittens right now - 5 weeks old, and 7 weeks old.  I have never had kittens in the spring/summer before (only autumn litters).  We've been having some 80-90 degree days recently and I'm not sure what to do.  I know they can regulate their body temperatures now, so...

We had a big snowstorm today and we happened to catch a stray that's been around our neighborhood for awhile. We gave her a bath and noticed that her paw pads have red splotches and look pretty raw and torn up a bit. They've been salting the sidewalks like crazy so I think that's what did it...

Hello all! Yesterday one of my husband's customers gave us a pregnant stray that they found but can't take care of. She's gorgeous and very young--I think she's under 1 year, but I don't know for sure yet. She was fine all day yesterday, but late last night, she started getting head tremors...

My kittens are now about 5 and a half weeks old. They've just started eating solid food and actually pooping for less than a week now. I'm using Yesterday's News paper pellets right now in their litter box because I know they'll eat the clumping litter (and I saw it firsthand--the first kitten...

I just rescued another stray a few days ago, and he's possibly the most beautiful cat I've ever seen. I have NO idea what kind of coloring he has! He has strips on his face and tail, but his back is just a very very light tan--it looks like stripes in the picture, but that's just the way his...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I didn't know where else to put it. I bought a new office chair the other day, and I kept the box just in case I need to return it. After the cats knocked it over and tore out all of the garbage and leftover cardboard and stuff all over the floor that...

Felicia's kittens are a week and a half old now. I'm 95% sure I saw a flea on the black and white kitten tonight, but it moved into the black fur too fast for me to be absolutely sure. We did give Felicia a flea bath when we first brought her in, but when we found out she was pregnant, we were...

I mentioned this is in the thread about Felicia having her kittens, but I think she still has at least one more kitten inside her (12 hours later now after the last one was delivered). I read somewhere on here that it can be awhile between sets of kittens if they were impregnated at different...

I was getting ready to go to sleep last night at about 12:30 AM and Felicia came up for some attention. After a few minutes of petting her, she moved to start licking her bits and when she moved, she left a wet spot on the bed. I immediately called my fiance into the room and let him know the...

Hello all, Felicia is getting lumpier by the day and we're just waiting for the kittens to pop out. A question I've been putting on the backburner since it's not as important right away is this: I have 4 other cats in the house right now, all males (the 3 adults are neutered, and the 4th is...

Felicia is getting closer and closer to D-Day and I have some questions about her nipples: 1) Right now here nipples are large but they seem flat, like someone smooshed them between some books or something, and they've been like this since we picked her up outside about 4 weeks ago. First, is...

Hello all! I saw in another thread that a few of you are very well-versed in coat color genetics, so I thought it was worth a shot to ask what colors to reasonably expect from my pregnant kitty. She is black. I did a little bit of research unsuccessfully, all I know for sure is that black is...

Hello all! We just took in another stray cat a few days ago and found out yesterday for sure that she is pregnant. My fiance was the one who took her to the vet, but didn't get a lot of time to ask questions (nor did he really know what ones to ask). He only knew he was supposed to find out...

Has any used either of these products? Calm Down and/or Good Cat--both are solutions that you can add to their water dishes and it's supposed to work similarly to Feliway, i.e. calm down agitated, territorial cats, control spraying habits, etc. I just took in a stray cat that loves us, but...

Hello all! I have been browsing TCS for a long, long time and just today realized there were forums. A little about me: Last year I moved from Dubuque, Iowa, to Yonkers, New York, regrettably leaving behind 3 cats with my mom. I have rescued 3 cats so far since moving to NY. I have only...

Some background information: My fiancee and I are dedicated to helping the feral population in our neighborhood - mainly, trying to help the cats that are too pet-like to be left outside as ferals. The first cat, Dusty, we took in last April was a 4-month-old kitten that got inside and was...
