Hello everyone! My gorgeous kitty Rasberry has in the last month or so started to seriously over-groom herself. She cleans herself so much that she is losing hair on her tummy, thighs, and around her tail area. The skin itself does not appear red, dry or irritated, and is not broken. She just...

So I have been trying to feed her in the trap for a few days now, it seems to be working, but she's only coming out in the early hours of the morning as far as I can tell (if it's even her who's eating the food). I don't see her often, once maybe a week, even though I put out food for her still...

My work place is located right in the centre of a very poor neighbourhood. We call it a 'lokasie' or 'squatter camp', it can be equated with a ghetto almost. Just shacks instead of built houses. So no, unfortunately that will not be an option. Dogs are treated bad, but they are tolerated. Cats...

It sounds desperate yes, but we kinda are desperate right now. Haha! We have also tried the twine to the door thing, doesn't work. Drop trap? Maybe we should have a go at that. We decided over the weekend to give her a few days rest, just bring her back into her normal routine again before...

We are currently relocating a small colony of feral cats (4 in total) and these girls are so smart it's been difficult to trap them. We have managed to trap 3 of them now, and only one remains. Because this has been such a long process (bad weather, cats that get too smart) we've been trapping...

Thank you once again for the replies! Reading your replies makes me feel a lot better. :) My situation actually sounds a lot like Siv's. I guess I just have to judge each situation indivdually. I'm constantly checking for raised hair, puffy tails and flat ears. I've only ever seen it once (a...

It's been a while since my last post, so I'll have to catch you guys up quickly. :) Peach is fitting in nicely, despite some kind of parasite she had in her stomach (which Rasberry was infected with - 2 vet visits and a few calls and they didn't pick up that it was a parasite; but we gave...

Thank you very much for the advice, I'll make a turn at the vet's tommorrow. :) This helped a lot! :D

The second deworming was done more or less 2 weeks after the first. So then it didn't properly clear up. The poor thing. What kind of parasite would cause this? And is this thing serious? I'll have to take her in to the vet in any case. Do vets give deworming pills over the counter? I'm just...

Good day everyone! We've adopted our stray kitty about a month ago now. Since the beginning she's had tummy issues, having runny poop. We've fed her skinless boiled chicken for a while, then put her adually on kitten food, and when her tummy seemed better, normal kibble with canned. We've had...

Okay, so I was on the lookout for any cat in our area. I actually though it might be some of the strays or ferals in the garden below our windows (we live on the 3rd floor) that was causing Peach to get upset. Last night when we came back inside I could clearly smell that a cat had sprayed in...

I think I might have gotten excited too early. :( what happened since my last post: their playing sessions has gotten more and more intense now. Rasberry has hurt her eye. I had their nails clipped so they wouldn't hurt each other too bad, but still. Rasberry sometimes yowls when Peach attacks...

I'm so so sorry to read of your loss. Like farleyv said, you gave Buzz a lovely home and a happy life for his last days. Rather focus on that. Both Buzz and Dexter is in a better place, playing and running and jumping. When you are ready, open your heart and your home home to another kitty who...

I'm so glad we weren't the only ones struggling with that! Rasberry wasn't aggressive towards Peach at all, but she didn't sleep by us for a while. She likes to get under the duvet and sleep right at my back or at the back of my knee, and that's her spot. Since Peach arrived she hasn't slept...

What lovely replies! :D Thank you guys! All in all, it was a slow introduction. The first few days was a bit nerve-wrecking though. We kept Peach in the bathroom (the bath was set up as full bed just for her; I was actually a bit jealous that she got to sleep there and not me, looked so comfy...

Good day everyone! A few weeks ago I found a lovely stray female (I guessed her age roundabout at 6 months) at work and after a trip to the vet to check on her health (and have her tested for FelHIV and Leukemia) my fiance and I decided to name her Peach and take her home. So we did the whole...

Good Evening! I'm probably a bit late for replying on this thread, but I'll give it a go in any case. ;) The bed problem: Yes, cats will sleep wherever they want and there's nothing you can do about it. We got a beautiful handmade basket as a gift for our Rasberry when we adopted her, she...

Thanks for the advice MoochNNoodles! :) I phoned her vet now, told her the whole story. She said I should keep her on the chicken, as well as the Flagyl for the next 3 days. And also, no outdoor trips for Rasberry while she's recovering. She won't like that one bit haha! But the vet said she's...

Okay, so this is what happened last night: She vomited again AFTER being fed the boiled chicken, and about a half an hour after that I decided to give her some antibiotics. It's called flagyl suspension, it was prescribed by the vet for her a while back when she had an upset stomach. I figured...

She just vomited again. :( I don't know what to do.
