OK so I haven't been here in a while. Life has been topsy-turvy for me. Lost my husband last year and went homeless and had to rehome my cats. That said, I'm staying at someone's house for a bit and her cat had kittens. They're 3-4 weeks old now and have outgrown the area she had them in...

There's been a lot of upheaval in my life lately. My husband was away from home for 4 months hospitalized before he passed away April 1st at the age of 32. I am sure that this hasn't been helping my cats, who are generally not friends and often squabble (but one becomes inconsolable without the...

Long story short, my husband had a major medical emergency, wasn't expected to survive and was life flighted to a better hospital an hour from where we live. I have been gone since January 15th and just got back home today. My husband is currently in a rehab facility. My two cats are tamed up...

My husband was recently seriously ill. He had a 10% chance of survival, and after six days at our local hospital he was transferred to a hospital an hour away. I was told to get up there and stay there because he could pass at any time. The cats had been fighting so I had separated them the...

I have two cats. We're needing to move in with other people to save money. This is going to be like a 12 hour move from Arkansas to Illinois. We're moving into a apartment with two of our friends. They like cats, though neither have much experience with them. My cats were former ferals. One was...

I have a very bossy former feral calico. She is sweet, but extremely demanding. It takes me ages to fall asleep, and when I do I'm an extremely light sleeper. Unfortunately, there's no place to put my bed where my cat couldn't get up in the window, so at night I shut her out. She's ok with...

We have two cats that were both feral born. We have moved with them before but only one block away so it hardly counts.Now we find ourselves in a predicament. We're disability recipients, and can no longer afford to live on our own. We have a couple of friends who live in Illinois (we live in...

I have a former feral who is almost 4 years old now. She has been inside with us since she was a little over a year old, but she has only just fully adjusted to being a housecat (meaning coming for cuddles, etc.) I have a basic plastic cat slicker brush I have been using on some areas of her...

My 2 year old cat, Carly, has always been a very nervous cat. We try to keep her life stress free, but she seems to always be stressed. Sometimes she will just sit and stare into nothingness for hours on end. This disturbs our other cat who seems to wonder what is wrong and comes over to groom...

This is going to sound strange, but I am convinced that my female cats are affected by my hormones. Former feral Binky had already had a litter before we gave her a home, and Carly was almost to first heat when we were able to get her fixed. Now, every time I have my period, the cats go batshit...

Carly, our almost two year old cat is scared of everything, has almost always had severe separation anxiety, makes distressing calls during the day, looking at things that don't seem to be there, etc.She was found abandoned (no mother showed up in three days; we fed her as we watched) as a month...

I can't upload a new picture to use as my avatar. It will not even bring up a window to choose which pics I want to upload.

So I have one tubby orange and white tabby, Carly. I don't know exactly how much she weighs (having no car it is hard for us to get to the vet so we only do if they get sick) but she is a year and a half old now and should be done growing. I wouldn't call her severely overweight but she does...

I know it's been a while since I last posted. I just wanted to say the cats are doing well, but unfortunately we are finding it necessary to move from our current location. Our landlord (who was a psychiatrist, and understood my husband had mental issues that would be helped by having an animal)...

Simon was 1 month old and around 7 ounces when we rescued him late this July. His sister Carly was a whole pound. She now weighs nearly 7 pounds. Simon weighs 4 pounds. He is not thin for his body size, not malnourished, everything at the vet checks a-ok, no worms or anything, but he's still...

Love this. I believe this cat is feral and might have even been raised as a littermate of this fox. http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/wild-cat-and-fox-are-best-friends

I think you should lock threads that have not been used in quite some time so that we no longer have cases of thread necromancy. If the OP comes back and wants it reopened then they can message admins. I recently saw a thread that had not been used in five years be bumped up to the surface by...

Carly, our approximately 4 month old female, is not happy unless someone is holding her at all times. She will get up to eat or to use the little box, but she doesn't play, she doesn't use a scratching post, she doesn't even join the kitty cuddle huddle. She also usually doesn't want ME to hold...

We have a huge flea problem. And only one of our four cats doesn't have scabs from scratching. Is there anything we can do to alleviate the scabs? We gave them Advantage this month but it doesn't seem to have helped at all. We may not be able to keep them due to financial reasons but I don't...

There's a feral here with a hurt leg. She is feral though we have had contact with her since she was around three months old. (she is semi tame, would not make a house cat but accepts petting occasionally.) We saw her yesterday afternoon, all seemed okay. Then around 10 PM we come home and she's...
