After 5-6 mo old Lucky came to us, formerly a feral colony cat with stealth as his game, he finally began to come out and socialize (on his terms, of course). One day, my husband fixed a salami sandwich on a bun; then left it on an end table long enough to go back to kitchen to get a can of pop...
I had an older cat who began pulling his fur from his back. I had him checked by the vet and they never could come up with anything. His housemate had died several months before, so I always wondered if that was it, even tho it had been so long. This habit continued several years, until he...
Yes, he did. He's a happy, frisky, bossy cat again. I give him (only) Blue treats now. Since they're soft I break them in half and throw them as far as I can for a little exercise, which he loves. He can tell which way (forward or behind me) I'm going to throw them by the way I turn my wrist...
Ive never seen my cat clean his behind right away either, but I've never had a problem with anything being smeared either...and we have a cream colored twist carpet in our family room, where he hangs out with us. He does clean himself regularly, but not right away. He also eats a combo...
I've only had one truly feral kitten (5-6 mos old), others were strays/rescues. Brought him home, put him not in carrier but in a cat bed in corner of guest bathroom, with small litter box, at -will food bowl, water. Kept door closed, went in frequently and sang a nonsense song about him to...
Reading this, I feel very fortunate. I've had two strays (both young, 4-6 mos old) at different times, and they both found & used the litter box from the beginning!
A few years ago I acquired a 5-6 mo old feral, 3 days out of the colony, and set him up in a spare bathroom with a small...
I knew he always loved a taste of pork from the table. That's when I bought it. Then I found out there seemed to be only one other brand that canned pork for cats! That is Instinct. But picky Lucky didn't seem to care as much for it. I did a little google to find out why pork catfood was so...
Holistic Flaked Pork is Lucky's current canned favorite. For a while it seemed to be a 95% Beef found at Walmart. He is still a dry food junkie tho & likes Iams Classic Chicken dry to snack on during the day between wet food meals. He wasn't able to have the dry for a whlle, awaiting dental...
Thank you. Lucky just had 7 teeth pulled & a cleaning, and blood work done a couple of weeks ago, He is showing no signs of stress, eating well, even back to free will dining on his dry food along with twice a day wet food, so I've discounted anything to do with his tooth issue. I will call the...
My 6 year old once-feral cat has suddenly begun weird licking of objects...the cloth cover on the side table by my chair, my extra glasses laying on it, the top of a small tin with sewing stuff in it. All located on the table. He does not even lick me! He's never licked anything before except...
My cat loves beef, and I have discovered Natural Life 95% beef, (wet) and Natural Life 95% Salmon (wet). Altho Natural Life is their own company, and have their own website, we seem to only be able to purchase it locally at Walmart, unless we order it direct.
Their cat food is cheaper I find...
When Lucky is happy-excited, he bounds & races up & down a @60 foot stretch of wood laminate floors we have, hall, kitchen, fam room. Like when he knows I'm cooking dinner. Sounds like a human in boots! My husband calls him our pony.
I remember our older cat, Slate, was always cold and seeking warmth. I used an item called a Bunwarmer which you put in the microwave (folded) & then sit on supposedly at sport events, and it will last for about 8 hours. Slate loved it, and would stand & wait as I heated it, then get in the...

I think I'll be taking my middle aged cat in for his first cleaning/extraction prob in a couple of weeks. Gums are red. (Vet wanted to wait because of another issue currently) At least one tooth will extracted, he showed me that it is loose enough to wiggle. I forgot to ask; just curious; do...
