    Can cats sleep with their eyes open?!

    I'm not sure how old my cat is, she's a stray I've had for 11 yrs.  Lately she's been sleeping with her eyes partly open (some of the time).  There are times I think she's awake and "thinking" (I think she's jealous of my birds) and I'll say something to her and she like "wakes up".   Another...

    feral colony in Tarpon Springs, FL

    Well, it's been almost a year since I started this thread, and about a month ago several people were involved with trapping 11 cats from my colony.  There are still 4 virile males who avoided getting trapped, strutting their stuff in front of the only unspayed female (she's always pregnant...

    Do Male Cats Kill Kittens?

    The big black patriarch in "my colony" is very protective of his offspring - won't even eat the food I put out until everyone else has had their fill.  Unfortunately, when the females are still very young he tries (and I guess succeeds) to have litters with them.  I hate seeing this, they seem...

    Rachael Ray Nutrish cat food?

    Since I bought 2 cases of it, I mixed 1/2 of it in with canned salmon.  She's 11 years old & I've fed her all kinds of things over the years, never had that reaction before.  I'm sure it's from the high amount of cellulose in it - I'd get diarrhea with that much myself!

    Rachael Ray Nutrish cat food?

    feral colony in Tarpon Springs, FL

    Gainesville is 120 miles each way.  Last night I had 15 cats looking for food in my yard, and I put out enough for them all as I knew a storm was coming through today.  I am 66 & have MS; what you are proposing is way beyond my abilities, but if I were close I could try doing one cat at a time...

    feral colony in Tarpon Springs, FL

    Thank you for replying, but I had already done that research & there is nothing in this county.  The best I could find were vets who would give a reduction on neutering if you pay full price for other services.  That is why I am appealing to private individuals who might have some skills or...

    feral colony in Tarpon Springs, FL

    There is a growing colony in my neighborhood, probably because I started feeding them & their kittens are surviving & reproducing.  I am not aware of any TNR programs close enough to help me, and I'm not in the position to be able to manage this on my own. I spend around $300 a month providing...
