    Cats that open doors...

    Does anyone has a kitty that has figured out by watching you how to turn a door handle and get the door open? There are a few rooms off-limits to Batman for health reasons (like the bird room, my husband's art room - paints, etc., and our bedroom because my husband is still allergic and we just...

    Former feral doesn't like wet food now

    Hi all, Patches (former feral - has been isolated in spare room for 2 months now) would eat anything under the sun when I was feeding her outside - tuna, sardines, wet cat food, etc. Now that she's inside, she does not touch wet food. For weeks, I would split a 6 oz can between her and the 8...

    Wellness Complete Health (blue bag)

    I am socializing an adult semi-feral - approximately 3 years. She's probably slightly over-weight but vet said it wasn't an issue and she did not need a diet at this point. I was feeding her junky dry food when she was outside and am now transitioning her to a better brand. I picked up Wellness...

    Patches (former stray) has been inside 1 month and the first litter I bought was Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Litter because it looked very natural and outside-like.

    height = attitude?

    I apologize if this is a stupid question in advance. I have 2 pet cockatiels and I know that if they are up too high, they do get an attitude that they are dominant over you - that they are the flock leader. I was wondering if this also applies to cats. We got this scratching post/stand for...

    Wet food 1x/day + dry food?

    Hi all, Growing up, my parents fed our kitties dry food only - they're about 14 years old now and doing well. So when we first were fostering our kittens, I had them on dry only. After doing my research, I realized I need to also feed wet food to maintain kidney health. Batman is about 7...

    Trapping for 2nd time?

    Hi everyone, Are there any tips on trapping a smart kitty for the 2nd time? We had trapped Patches in June for her spay but had released her for many reasons (and glad we did - there was another kitten she was taking care of at the time - which we later trapped and got rehomed). We borrowed a...

    Hi everyone, We made a shelter for Patches tonight (the spayed momma cat for the litter of kitties we found this summer)- did the 2 nested Rubbermaid containers with straw insulation.

    Hi everyone! I've had a couple posts on the Stray cat part of the board, but for a quick story - I'm a huge animal lover with cats my whole life growing up with my parents, and I got a couple cockatiels in college.

    Hi everyone, I have another thread about Patches, the momma cat that I am feeding outside (she is fixed - her babies got rescued this summer.
