Comments on: Losing the Will http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/486/losing-the-will.html Blogging about feral cats and life in general Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:02:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Classof65 http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/486/losing-the-will.html/comment-page-1#comment-39127 Classof65 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 01:41:13 +0000 http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/486/losing-the-will.html#comment-39127 I have been reading your blog for months now and have been rejoicing at your triumphs and crying for your losses. My husband and I have been feeding an extended family of cats for over a year now. The family has grown from a single pregnant queen to her descendants -- we now have nine outside cats. I have not found a vet who will do low-cost spaying/neutering in our area. We lost the original mama, Patches, but we have one of her original litter, Princess, and two litters from her. We recently lost one 4-month-old kitten -- the vet couldn't diagnose him and he just disappeared one day. I intend to have all the cats spayed/neutered as I can "socialize" them enough to take them to our local vet who refuses to treat feral cats. As the local economy worsens in our area (western Tennessee), we expect to see more cats dumped out here in the country and I appreciate any and all tips you can give me regarding socializing and recognizing signs of incipient illnesses. Hang in there! You give me inspiration! Classof65 I have been reading your blog for months now and have been rejoicing at your triumphs and crying for your losses.
