    Taming Feral Cats

    I always enjoy reading updates about your gang. Sorry to hear about Cisco but glad to hear about Hampton. I assume Hampton gets along with your other two? The orange cat is wearing a collar but I can't get close enough to read it.  My husband has suggested that just because he is wearing a...

    Taming Feral Cats

    Just checking in. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, kitties included! I know mine are loving laying in the grass and on our deck chairs. Did Cisco come around in the spring as he promised? So that orange collared cat I mentioned in my last post has become a bit of a nuisance! He has been...

    Raccoon problems

    CatWoman707, I think you described why they scare me. They are like little bears! That is seriously adorable and a little puzzling that they wash their hands after eating. They eat out of the garbage for Christ's Sake and then they wash their little delicate hands. lol I do feel bad when I...

    Raccoon problems

    I have noticed that they do not come out at night to eat the food when it is bitter cold. My ferals free feed during the day (other cats stop by for a treat too), then I split a can of wet food up between the four of them for dinner. They are inevitably always "hungry" still after dinner so I...

    Raccoon problems

    We are dealing with a raccoon issue too. About 2-3 of them come by per night. They make the water bowl so dirty and are such a nuisance. Sometimes they get pissed off at each other if they are trying to eat out of the same food bowl and they cause a ruckus growling at each other. They are so...

    Taming Feral Cats

    Thanks for the update about Cisco. I find the use of animal communicators very intriguing. It is sad if his previous owners kicked him out, un-spayed no less! How disgraceful but he is lucky he found you and your good heart.  We can take comfort in the fact that he is warm and fed at the...

    Taming Feral Cats

    So glad everyone is doing well! These temperatures do really stink! We are looking at 45 degrees on Sunday and that sounds downright balmy right about now. However, temperatures are scheduled to plummet the following day. That is an excellent temp. at 38 degrees for your shelters to be! How...

    Sale on Extreme Weather Oudoor Kitty Heat Pad

    I use these too! I have 4 of them for 4 feral cats and they love them! It has been in the single digits here in PA and they still feel quite warm to the touch. When I pick up the kitties or rub their stomach, their belly's feel warm too. It gives me piece of mind to know that they can have a...

    Taming Feral Cats

    How are my other favorite ferals doing in this bitter cold?! To answer your question from a few months ago, no. Peanut and Pepper do not curl up together and they don't share a shelter. However, I recently found that the calico (we call her Turtle) and her now almost full grown kitten (who we...

    Do cats share shelters?

    From my personal experience, no. Although I don't doubt that some are definitely friendly enough with each other to do so. I have 4 feral female cats that I take care of. They are from two separate kitty families. Two of them are mom and baby. The other two are sisters. So far we have two...

    Taming Feral Cats

    It's good to hear from you! Poor Cisco. I so understand your worry. It's so hard. I've said to my husband every night how sorry I feel for them out there. And he keeps reminding our indoor girls about how lucky they are to be inside and warm! Haha!  It's funny because now I consider temperatures...

    Taming Feral Cats

    How are all the feral kitties fairing in this brutal winter weather so far? My four girls all take turns using the shelters with heating pads that my husband built. Here is the latest one. Honestly not sure what cat that is! It looks like Pepper to me but her ear doesn't look tipped so it...

    Taming Feral Cats

    Wonderful news! Glad to hear Cisco is keeping warm. I've noticed that with my long haired cats as well. The cold doesn't seem to bother them as much as it does the shorter haired. That is so interesting how they tried to get inside the house this morning. Strange creatures sometimes! I let...

    Taming Feral Cats

    How many indoor cats do you have? I agree that the more comfortable Cisco gets, the more willing he will be to try the shelter. It takes time. Because guess what? I have caught Pepper laying in what we now refer to as "the kitten's house" the past couple of days when it had been raining. Poor...

    Taming Feral Cats

    I'm glad to hear that things worked out with your neighbors and that she is keeping her cats inside more, especially in the colder winter months. Thanks for the tips, I will try those suggestions when my husbands builds the other shelters. My husbands loves our inside (and now our outside)...

    Taming Feral Cats

    How is the situation going with the neighbors cat? Last we spoke there was some issues with her cat bothering your cats. Glad to hear the progress that is being made with Cisco. He is so lucky to have found you and I hope that him and Shadow and Stellar will all get along one day. They are...

    New Kitten gave Old Cat Herpes

    Aww! They are so cute! Thanks for sharing. Poor Gonzo. :( How lucky! Only two of my cats out of the four will sleep together and groom each other. Once in awhile. They still have their intense disagreements though!
