I always love to hear about Pawlsy and his antics. I suspect that he had not had much experience with other cats in a social setting. I have a colony cat that has no social graces with other cats. He is getting a little,e better now. Don't you wish their was a feline "finishing " school that...

Many vet my clinics have a resident cat. I would try asking jf they would like a clinic " mascot". I wonder , too, if she would eat at any vet office or just that one. I would absolutely talk to a pet communicator. You may be able to pinpoint the cause. You can certainly reassure her that you...

When i raise kittens that come in with fleas I bathe them using Dawn dish washing soap. You lather them up and then let the soap sit on them for a few minutes before rinsing. The fleas smother in the soap. We change all if the bedding at the same time. The kittens are in a room with a hard...

Mom was spayed today. The clinic paperwork said that she was in season. She had probably been bred again already. We have two bathrooms in our home but just now we have babies in one and momma recovering in the other one. Momma cat is very friendly and I get the impression that she wouldn't...

My son discovered a litter of kittens in his old truck. After several attempts we caught the surviving four kittens. My son doesn't know much about cats and I love kittens so I brought the babies to my house. We are cat people with six indoor cats and a colony of outdoor cats that ranges from...

We have ant problems this time of year too. We feed our colony cats on our deck. We use a patio table and we stop the ants using water. We place each leg of the table in an empty coffee can. We keep water in the can. We make sure that the table legs don't touch the sides of the can. We also make...

I'm s proud of Pawley He really has come such a long way. I'm in the midst of a kitten adventure just now. My son has a derelict truck at his house. He didn't have one window completely closed. He is not a cat fan. When I told him one time how much I spent on a feral cat at the emergency vet...

We have two half grown kittens that we found in our yard. We take care iof a colony and a lot of youngsters seem to find their way to us. I try to trim their front nails once a week. I try to get them when they are napping or still groggy from a nap. I have been able to trim them without them...

That is such awesome news about Cheeto! Patience is not my long suit ( I have the bite and scratch marks to prove it ) I'm learning from the Cats that it is slow slow slow. Anytime I try to go too fast I end up losing all of the ground that I have covered It is worth it though. Every...

Why don't we have Margaret pour the margaritas?

Hi folks. Well my bubble has been burst. When I found the ten dollar bill in a cat bed in the laundry room I thought that the cats were finally chipping in towards their keep. It was even suggested that we may have a " cat" burgler who is sharing his ill gotten gains. When I ( finally) took...

Dawn dish washing liquid works for us. Be sure to let it sit on the cat for five minutes or so. I think the fleas suffocate. Be sure to wash all of the bedding as well. Keep her warm. Putting a towel in the clothes dryer for a few minutes will make it nice and cozy. I hate fleas with a...

I have had a lot if success with a communicator as well I just want to share something on the lighter side. It turned a bit cold here tonight so a lot of my colony cats are in the cat hall ( aka laundry room ). I went out to love on them. I was giving my boy Pounce an all over rub in his bed...

Oh my. You really have a doozy of a neighbor. It's just too bad we can't Trap and relocate the gal to a place with no cats. Maybe she would be happier in a place filled with personalities like own. Are there any colonies for Tasmanian devils? You really do deserve a medal for patience and...
