    STRAY BOBTAIL FACING EUTHANASIA-HELP NEEDED

    Solomonar, Thanks for answering, I think. Maybe I didn't mention that we live on a farm and our four (4) cats, consisting of (2) neutered males and (2) spayed females have been with us for 11+ years in peace and harmony for the most part. They are indoor/outdoor and I fully understand the stance...

    STRAY BOBTAIL FACING EUTHANASIA-HELP NEEDED

    Thanks for your reply. I am not a regular on these forums and may not be following any sort of protocol. Anyway, I kind of addressed your excellent points in my answer to Willow. He is in the workshop now and the biggest lover ever was, face rubbing and all. Yeah, I'm an idiot. Anyway I have...

    STRAY BOBTAIL FACING EUTHANASIA-HELP NEEDED

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. Rabies was not an issue. Following my serious bite the ER gave me oral antibiotics and instructed me to keep him quarantined for 10 days. I developed severe cellulitis of the right hand even after immediate medical attention, had to return for IV...

    STRAY BOBTAIL FACING EUTHANASIA-HELP NEEDED

    Hi, I have been a member of the forum for over 10 years, but only post when I need help. Anyway, I am in rural Adams County, Ohio. We are fortunate to have an HSAC near us and they are doing a wonderful job. They have accepted strays (multiple) over time from us. Today I find that we are in an...

    Cat disappears after surgery

    Hi, The vet trip after Tom left for a week after the neutering left us with no real answers, only more questions. I had him retested for leukemia and aids since they were pulling blood for chemistries anyway. The vet did an abdominal x-ray. Tom was without fever, had "food" in his belly on...

    Need Opinions Regarding Revolution

    Hi, Just a note about my positive experience with REVOLUTION. I have been using it for our three cats for over a year with no problems. Revolution is very well absorbed with felines [not so much with dogs]. I especially like the fact that it controls mites and heartworms. Our babies are all...

    Kitten suckling?

    Hi, I have experienced similar behavior from our (now) 13-month old spayed female kitten. Specifically, she goes through the entire "ritual" of preparing to suck, "swirling" the hair on her belly aware from the teats, and then "nurses" herself for varying periods of time. I have been learned...

    Cat disappears after surgery

    Presto, Ligwa...thank you for your responses. Presto---Frankly, I sincerely wondered whether Tom did in fact associate my care with trips to the vet, ipso facto, he got out of Dodge.. He showed up purring at the front door exactly one week from the time of his disappearance. That was Thursday...

    Cat disappears after surgery

    We have three cats who are happy together and the input I received on this forum helped to achieve that goal. Anyway---a stray tomcat showed up some time ago and our cats gave him a wide berth. We started feeding him on the deck because we felt sorry for him. Time passed and I put FrontLine...

    Mother Rejecting 5-Month Old Kittens-HELP

    Since my last post, Momma has been around the barn more often, and has been near the kittens, albeit still hissing when one of them gets too close. She has not been attempting to hurt them which had been an initial fear. Also—yesterday Momma was actually throwing herself down in the grass...

    Mother Rejecting 5-Month Old Kittens-HELP

    A big thanks for the kind responses and suggestions. Honestly, I have only recently went on line and read about how cats treat each other in the wild. I wasn't expecting Momma to just want them gone, gone, gone with sexual maturity. I knocked myself out finding homes (indoor homes) for two of...

    Mother Rejecting 5-Month Old Kittens-HELP

    Hi, I live in a rural area and have a cat door. My "house cat" is 22 years old and has renal failure, but not too feeble to contribute to what is becoming a living Hell. So--somebody dumped a pregnant female cat at my farm (a young cat less than a year old). We converted our workshop (inside the...
