Hi friends, thank you all who respond when I thought my sweetie had died, she vanished, as you have helped me give my kitty-angel KittyKat a precious safe loved life. She "ran away" and only returned after (i found out) a giant abcess had burst in her neck somewhere. Gone at least 3 days, i...

Hi all, I am posting here b/c my KittyKat has never been to the vet past being TNRed and who knows what else? I moved in to my current house, there were 3 young kittens, now down to just KittyKat, who is probably pushing 12 to 14 y.o. We redid our deck recently (3rd time, so no issues last two...

My darling feral KittyKat has been sneezing and wheezing (slightly) again. I am guessing it's allergies as this condition has come and gone in the past. She doens't have a vet and seems to be in excellent health otherwise, thick soft fur, sweet disposition, placid, friendly, etc. I'd like to...

I am having to move at last, due to medical reasons, I can't keep up my current place any more. (One maybe serious 2 operations needed.) Not sure where I/we are moving yet but considering a place an hour away in a community for 55+. Country setting. Here seem to be my choices: 1) Give Kitty...

I am using Frontline successfully on my feral cat- first time. I don't have a vet. Anyway, I applied it fine. My feral loves to be brushed daily. I waited 3 days then brushed her. She then got a little sick (vomited some blood, went a little nuts, then was ok a little later.) I'd like to avoid...

I want to treat my feral for fleas, ticks, whatever I can. Is there a best non-prescription treatment? I get worried about all the side effects I see on most options. Alternately, could I walk into a vet's office and buy Revolution? My feral has never seen a vet (as far as I know.) thanks...

Hi all, I know this isn't urgent (except to me perhaps). It has rained a lot and KittyKat's outdoor sitting perch-pillow has gotten musty. I tried buying her a new pillow a year ago but the foam was pretty hard whereas her "pillow" has been broken in, it's soft and a tad lumpy, her siblings used...

Hi... I want to buy some raccoon repellent. Apparently the spray smells I've found (rosemary, peppermint, mothballs) that drive raccoons away are also offensive to cats. Any suggestions? Last year we had to hire rodent control to build a pricey, fancy contraption under our deck and I'd like to...

Okay, I have found lots of tiny black dots while brushing Kitty, and own Advantage II for small "kats", and I love my Kitty Kat. However I am scared I will poison her or hurt her. She'd never been to the vet other than the TNR as far as I know, and I can only guess she weighs about 6 pounds of...

Hi ... I may be moving soon and the possible realtor said my feral is no problem since they are great for keeping down mice. However I've yet to see my cat catch a mouse. Does this mean she is not a mouser? And/or is it possible that just her presence in my back yard will keep mice away just...

KittyKat has a few ticks on her. Is this an issue? I have only ever had indoor cats so never had to worry. I comb her every day so fleas don't seem to be a problem. But these ticks are gross. I did remove a few black dots, thought they were flea eggs, but maybe baby ticks, idk. I have been...

With great sadness (mostly due to the cat issue), we are planning on moving. Where yet we don't know. We (hubs and I) are getting on and this house is a lot of work, and I want to be closer to a town and transportation. Our idea is to sell this place, stay in a few different areas, then make up...

Hi again.... just wanting to check. KittyKat has been pretty happy with her heated mat (like, in heaven!) and having me lavish some occasional attention on her. However, she used to run and play with her now gone siblings, and now, she pretty much lies around. She must be about 11? No sure. We...

Hi all, posting on the Feral site as I don't think there's any way my feral/half feral KittyKat is ever going to go for getting her teeth brushed! :-) But since I put her on some wet food, well... um.... she does have some "tuna breath" smell and got me wondering, what can I do? I researched and...

Every time this year, KittyKat starts sneezing. Wondering if it would be safe to give her a little bit of antihistamine to see if this would help? I also think she may be a bit asthmatic, so happy she has a heating pad now!!! If so, how much to try? what brand? thx obviously, slow as we go.

Just wondering... I have been feeding my feral KittyKat Temptations treats and Kibble (she seems to like this better than wet food, though I am willing to try wet food again... and it seems to me that in the last year or two, since being the only one, she's grown a little bigger. Maybe it's...

I finally hooked up a heating mat for my feral KittyKat. (Yes it sadly took a year to get outlet covers, etc,etc.) So sorry about that KittyKat. Anyway it's plugged in. Wasn't sure: Do I put the mat where she sleeps at night (it gets into the 40's usually) or leave it out where she hangs during...

I am curious... Kitty has an old pillow (8 years old now) ever since we moved here. It's full of fur and kinda lumpy. I am wondering... should I replace it, or is this her go-to comfort zone? It's full of fur but no fleas, as far as I am aware, I comb her daily, don't see any. I just want her to...

We're having a heat wave. I comb and brush KittyKat, and remove gobs of fur, almost daily. Aside from that, how else can I help to keep her cooler? I do provide fresh water in a shaded place but it's still pretty hot. We have shady areas but she hangs on her pillow a lot of the time even in the...

KittyKat (assuming she is a female...) is sweet, loving feral, semi-domesticated, doesn't like indoors, and after the loss of siblings about a year ago? allowed me to become her buddy. Now ... she loves being groomed, has/had been eating a variety of treats, etc. She seems happy enough in her...
