i was feeding what i thought was a feral kitten. it took me 2 months to get him not scared of me. i first noticed him because i heard him meowing outside. today i read that feral cats dont meow? so i guess he was not a feral kitten after all?
i explained that my apartment is really small, he wants to be outside at nightime the most, if i locked him up inside here at night he would go nuts.
if he is alive next winter he will stay inside because he doesnt like to go outside when its freezing outside.
yea im on "day 23" after loosing my mom. she went really fast, it was only 4 months of cancer.
in the last few days i have been leaving my door open in the morning and my kitty has been visiting me every morning. i give him food and he stays a while and then leaves. i havent seen the raccoon in...
my dad is under the belief that the way our previous cat got killed is because he used to like to sleep in the greenhouse at night but there was only one entrance so when the coyotes came in he was cornered and had no way to escape. so now he keeps all 3 doors open so that the cat will have...
yes that would be a real shame and would probably really hurt me. the thing is my apartment is really small, for example my version of a kitchen is just a small refrigerator with a microwave oven on top and a toaster on top of that, i like to eat frozen dinners. i just have my main room and a...
he doesnt stay in my dads house, he sometimes stays in his greenhouse, he leaves the door open.
if we try to keep him indoors all the time he would freak out. i think my best bet is just hope he survives until it gets cold again and then he will want to stay indoors with me. and the raccoon...
i wont pepper spray the raccoon, i spoke with my dad and he also said dont do it.
my dad seems to be doing a good job of feeding him at their house.
this evening i left my door open to get fresh air and my kitty actually paid me a visit, i hugged him and hoped he would stay but he just stayed...
my kitty used to come through the window to get into my apartment for his food, and then he would sleep under my bed or on my bed on my pillow on my head. now i keep the window closed all the time because of the raccoon so for now i am letting him eat at my parents house which is nearby. my dad...
it took me 2 months to get this little kitten friendly to humans and now theres a raccoon coming into my place instead of him, stealing his food. i think they even fought a couple of times because i heard the noise and saw scars on his face. i think i am going to need to buy police strength...
how can there be feral cats in upstate new york? every winter when there is no animals to catch and it is freezing surely the feral cat population would just get wiped out each winter?
last august we saw what looked like a feral kitten because he was afraid to come near humans despite we were...
i was wondering about that. i bet he probably has one of the ticks head in him.
but why does the first thing that comes up in google when i search "how to remove tick from cat" is use tweezers.
as far as i know my 9 month old cat has only had one tick before, a month ago. this morning i saw a tick on his neck, and when i went to get it out with tweezers i noticed there were two ticks right next to each other a quarter of an inch away from each other, what is that about?
thanks for asking.
hes ok
there was another really bad cold spell a few days ago, but yesterday when i approached to feed i could see from a distance and could see that he is still alive and still has his ears on.
am i right that this last cold spell around march 1st or 2nd was the worst...
thanks, good to know. im not 100 percent sure i can do it, im living on my parents property, but it is good that we are talking about this, i can understand why the cat should be neutered.and it just seems to make sense that if it is to be done it should be while its still cold outside so the...
oh i see, because it might be trying to push its face/nose through the cage(?)
i was thinking that since it waits for me to bring the food between 3:00-4:00 and comes out about 2 minits after i leave the food, i would be able to bring it to the garage near an electric heater so it would...
im not that concerned about bonding with the cat, i live on my parents property and they have a friend who got lyme disease from rescuing feral cats so they dont like the idea of a feral cat around the property. whats been really good about this for me is it forces me to walk half a mile every...
he never lets me get closer than 100 feet so i managed to catch him on my wireless webcam to see if he survived the cold spell without getting frostbite:
after the last two cold spells i could see from the distance he was still alive but since he never lets me get closer than 100 feet i didnt...
