    Chewy Website Is Not All It's Cut Out To Be!

    I'm really hit or miss with Chewy. I have Amazon Prime so I regularly am comparing their prices. Generally I only use Chewy when I know I'm getting a decently hefty order, because otherwise I get the free shipping with Prime and I don't have to worry about hitting the $49 minimum. I do find...

    Best wet food for weight loss?

    Thank you everyone for your replies. It sounds like eliminating the hard food is definitely the first step in any of this. She really enjoys it and is always begging for her bowl to get the twice daily portion, so that's going to be difficult, as she has some behavioral issues related to food...

    Best wet food for weight loss?

    Hey all! My 10 year old girl is obese. She's a very largely built cat, but she's upwards of 20 lbs and as she's getting older I'm getting increasingly concerned about her weight issues. I've had her on Science Diet Perfect Weight dry food for a couple of years, with her getting about a half a...

    Fed up with raccoon issue

    Thank you for the replies and the suggestions. I apologize for starting a new thread, I had searched and didn't find that raccoon thread, so it's appreciated! The cats are all TNR, with the exception of one that has been a little sneak and has evaded every attempt to catch her. My neighbor...

    Fed up with raccoon issue

    Hey all. I'm at my wits end with the raccoons that have been invading my back yard this summer. I use my back patio as a oasis for a feral colony, going on 9 years now. I've always had a raccoon or two that snoops around since I'm adjacent to a small wooded area. But this year one of those...

    Feral colony no longer can be supported. Advice please?

    No unfortunately that's a little farther north than what I am.  But thanks for the link, I'm going to have a look around and see if I can find any resources from it. The TNR is problematic right now because I've read that you definitely don't do that and then return them to unfamiliar...

    Feral colony no longer can be supported. Advice please?

    Hi all, My mother has a feral colony that she's been taking care of for a while.  She has a little over half an acre of land.  She's used her back patio to create shelters for them and feeds them twice daily.  She's only been able to get a few TNR'd because of her age(she's 70) and I think just...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    As much as it hurts my heart to see them tucked back in the corner of the cage non responsive to the point they won't even look at me, I know they're warmer and safer where they are.  I'll release them before I head to work tomorrow afternoon, when the worst of the cold is over.  I just wish...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    I ended up grabbing the boys and putting them in the kennel last night.  They are not happy at all.  There was a small bit of warbling when I first put them in, but hen thy crawled into the corner of the cage on top of one another and haven't moved since. They haven't touched their food or...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    I actually bought a large dog kennel at Tractor Supply tonight.  I'm going to put it in the garage, stuff it with some blankets, put a litter pan and some food in, and get the boys in there.  At least for Sunday and Monday.  It might be a decent trial run to see if they would be ok indoors...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    Thanks Shadow.  That house is fantastic! I'm more worried about the wind than anything right now.  We have a high wind warning tonight.  And while I have tarps on all four sides of my patio, that kind of wind could bring the tarps down.  And if it does, some of their containers could go flying...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    I do have electricity on my back porch and I have two portable heaters running.  I keep the back window curtains open and keep an eye on them because I'm not a fan of the idea of them getting tipped over. The problem with the porch is that it's large enough that it's the size of a living room...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    Yes, we have part of the front porch sectioned off as a feeding station.  They get wet food twice daily, fresh water, and we keep a bowl of dry food full for them.  All under cover in the corner of the porch. I have seen both of them out back at times, a few times taking a nap on one of the...

    Bitter cold - to bring my two boys inside or not

    Hi all, I'll try and keep this as brief as possible, though I have a great knack for being long winded, so advanced apologies. We have a rather small feral colony that lives primarily on our back patio.  It's a covered patio, we have tarps up on all sides to prevent the wind from blowing in...
