My Patches is a 3 year old feral kitty who has been inside with me since November in her own room. She is currently shedding her winter coat. Batman - one of her kittens actually - likes to greet her with licks. He is trying to groom her and get all this sheddy fur off of her and in doing so...
I had to share this. I saw some pictures from the book posted on cuteoverload.com so I had to look it up on Amazon. Here is the book:

Essentially it's a bunch of photos of cats wearing wigs
I may need to get this for Christmas so I can...
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...
I thought it would be fun to start a thread with funny photos of laser beam cats - you know what I mean - when the flash makes their eyes look like they're going to beam you up onto a spaceship.
Please post a picture of your cats with laser eyes!
Here is my laser beam cat Batman:
I'd like to share my parents' kitties - the sweet girls I had with me growing up. They are now 13 and doing well. They are sister cats. Their father was Siamese and mother Himalayan (or other way around).

Here is Tommy - he is 12. His parents are the same as Halo and...
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...
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...
Here are some pictures of my happy sleepy boy:
He's 8 months old but I have been lucky and this is basically all he does regarding the tree! It's his favorite place to sleep.
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. She took to it immediately!! (I put some potting soil on top but she understood it right away.) And it smells wonderful, isn't...
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...
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...
Hi all! Just wanted to share Batman's photos and his story.
In June, we found 4 kittens in our window well!
By the time we were able to rescue, we were only able to get 3 - mommy cat moved the 4th somewhere. Looked for days - couldn't find him.... here were the three on their first day...
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! I wrote a few new posts to my last thread but maybe the length scared everyone away I'll try to be more concise in a new thread
Patches was hanging outside in the landscape yesterday in the afternoon sun, so I used the opportunity to spend some time with her. We played the food...
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. It fit perfectly against the house in the little space between the house and the bushes where she sits when I...
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. I love my birdies and they are fantastic. This summer, we had a momma cat have a...
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. I am not comfortable at this point with taking her in myself to socialize because of how other cat was painfully shy until he was a lone cat, and I have...
Hi everyone!
I am a newbie and just wanted to introduce myself. I came across the site while doing some internet research on socializing semi-feral cats, etc.
I have been a cat lover all my life (well all animals really), but got 2 pet cockatiels in college since apartments at the time...
