Back here after about 10 years. This time with just adopted eight months old kittens. Settling into their new home (indoors) after spending four months at the shelter. Supposedly sisters. Aja is a very good looking weight and build. Little sister Chyna is smaller, more slender and just looks...

Hello everyone. It's been a year since I posted last. I wanted to tell what happened with my two adopted feral boys, Sasha and Marlow. Sasha has been with us indoors for seven years now. Marlow has been inside for three. I posted before about Marlow getting out last year, running off, then...

My formerly feral boy Marlow will come up behind me and bite my ankles while I am scooping his breakfast out of the food jar. Little nibbles, almost ticklish. I like it.  He has for a long time come to "his stool" for a good brushing. Lately he has been gripping my jeans and giving head butts...

Since Marlow returned home from his big adventure (see http://Marlow bolted), he is a changed boy. We have been working with the formerly feral boy for a couple of years. And now he is tamer than ever. He will now seek me out anywhere in the house and do his "pet me stretch". At lights out time...

After watering my garden this morning I evidently failed to close the back door completely. Sasha scratched it open. I heard the noise from the kitchen but thought they were fooling with the new rug I put down a few days ago. I went to look and Marlow was already outside. He looked at me, turned...

We have two cats. Both are indoor only and formerly feral. Sasha came in at a very young 12wks. Marlow came in three years later when he was just over a year old. They have coexisted for over two years. The strange behavior: While Marlow is quietly lying in the sun, Sasha will approach him and...

Many of you know Marlow. http://www.thecatsite.com/search.php?search=marlow   He came to our house three years ago and has lived indoors only for 2 1/2. He has been VERY slow in becoming a domesticated pet. He has however pleasantly surprised us these past couple of weeks.  Announcing his...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some rescue news. My elderly neighbor Bob ( I posted about him about a year ago ) was feeding four cats. Three male littermates born at his place during August of last year and a female who just showed up this past Sept. I had gotten the three boys neutered last...

Many of you may remember all the UT trouble my boy Sasha had a while back. Among his first symptoms were frequent visits to the litter box. That's the day I found this website. When a UTI is suspected the vet will do a cheap and easy test of urine with a paper test strip. This test may show an...

Since I carpeted the tops of my kitchen cabinets the boys have been spending more time there. Should have done this long ago. Picture is of Marlow totally relaxed.

Surprise! Marlow and Sasha have had another birthday, we think. We celebrate their birthdays on August 9. Sasha is now 5 and Marlow is 3. They seem to have settled into a relationship where Sasha gets his way up to a point then Marlow just says "that's enough". Marlow is stronger than Sasha and...

I just got back from a visit to a house down the road. Bob lives there. Bob is about 85 years old, widowed for 20 years, and is retired from the local electric utility. I suspected that a cat who has been frequenting my yard lately might live at Bob's house. She does. I was surprised to find...

I have two cats. Marlow is quite husky. Sasha is slim. Sasha is at what the vet calls "a good weight for him". Sasha is 10.5 lbs. Marlow is similar in stature but is quite larger in girth. He carries his extra size well. He is very firm. Marlow is two years old and Sasha is four. Sasha is fed...

It's been a while since I updated progress with Marlow. Things are still changing but very slowly. That's okay. The two, Marlow 1yr and Sasha 4yr, get along better. Sasha is still jealous when Marlow gets attention. Sasha wears me out making sure he gets the most attention. The most noteworthy...

A while back I asked how long it would take for the hair to grow back on my boy Sasha's neck. He had been shaved there for blood work. It's been right at five months and you can still tell but wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it. He's a domestic short hair.

Marlow is indoors only for six months today. TNR'd one year ago today. Since I posted about him getting in bed with us about four weeks ago, he now is usually first in bed and gets the better spot. He also has started to vocalize his request for a meal when he gets hungry. As many of you know...

Next week on Tuesday is the 1year anniversary of Marlow showing up in our back yard. I fed him for a few weeks then trapped, neutered and then released him. He stayed on and got very comfortable living in our yard and being fed like clockwork twice each day. We got to know each other and he...

I grew a pot of oat grass for my two boys. At least one of them ate some today. He threw up on the livingroom carpet. Is this normal?

This post had an error! If you have tried to get your cat to eat wet food without success you might want to try EVO 95% duck (Originally made mistake and called out Taste of the Wild). We tried probebly 50-60 different brands and flavors to get our Sasha to eat canned. He had UTI issues and...

Back in January I was stressed about the difficulty of dosing my feral born cat with an eyedropper. I couldn't catch him, I couldn't hold onto him, he cried, he squirmed, he scratched. We were miserable. Now look at him today.
