Feral Cat Behavior

This is Shimmer, she is seven weeks old. She arrived today and is a complete love. She is upstairs with Snugglekittie, and Fur Momma keeping her warm and comfy.

Well Prowler started peeing again! Normally, I would be thrilled that her body is working but she is spraying bloody pee all over the house. I called my vet who now has her on yet another round of medications: Ceta drops and Diazapan. I hope this works for her. She is […]

When I go to clip my cat’s claws, I do it when they are sitting up not lying down. They are not on my lap, they do not have their bellies exposed, they are simply relaxed and in a sitting position.
It seems to be a bit easier than when they are on my lap. First […]

Last night, Prowler presented me with the vilest offering of vomit I have ever seen. This came about 2:00 a.m. We had both fallen asleep in my recliner, she was on my chest and Mike just covered us both with a blanket before he went to bed. Thankfully, I had my terry […]

Took urine samples into the vet yesterday but they weren’t much help. The reason, Prowler isn’t voiding enough in a 24 hour period to even get enough to analyze! Taking a look at the small amount of urine provided, Ben has prescribed Amoxycillian 100 mg. once a day. The urine presented was bloody (bright […]

Prowler’s recovery was short-lived. She is once again fighting the bladder problems. She is peeing just drops at a time, and her meds are over. Ben is out of town till Tuesday, and he has done everything I think he can do for her and then some.
When we went through this with Prowler in […]

Sullivan is such a daredevil. His latest trick is to leap from the floor to the top of the drape bar in the living room. That is quite a leap for a little kitty~
He launches himself straight up, when he reaches the bar, he snags it with his kitty paws and lands on top then […]

Prowler is finally peeing! The last round of meds were given this morning and she has been peeing up a storm. I am so relieved to see her passing large pools of urine that I have forgiven her for missing the litter pans. I knew this would happen, but I didn’t want to go out […]

It isn’t only that the house is bursting at the seams with cats at the moment, but I am also fighting the fact that I serve up food for their use in a kitchen that is older than dirt! Forty years ago “spacious” kitchens were not the norm. As I scoop out their wet food […]

This morning when I went outside, I saw something that simply took my breath away. A garden spider had spun a web from a low lying pine tree limb up to the cable wire that runs along the roof of our home. The web was massive and captured within its silkiness was a praying mantis. […]
