Cat Chat Feline Forum

Try royal canin exigent, there are aroma or taste versions. My mum has a cat that would only eat soup, which has practically zero calories or dreamies, again not good. She loved the royal canin, we use the aroma one and she eats it up no bother now.

Thanks for your reply, he is actually microchipped, we got him done when we first trapped him and had him neutered. He has lived as a housecat for about three years now. We've done the litter etc, but he's just too scared and won't even come into the garden for food, the one time he did he didn't se...

Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate any tips on my situation. I have an ex-feral cat that was living happily as a housecat, indoor only. Last Sunday he followed another cat out of the door, got scared and took off. He's totally fearful outside and has only been seen a few times at night on a wildlife...

I'm with Lilith ;) I've signed your petition and I'd be pestering the RSPCA to take action, contacting your local newspaper might be worth a try if conditions are so bad, it might at least shame the RSPCA to do something, alternatively have you tried any other rescue agencies? They might be able to ...

Thanks sniper1, I would be very cautious about transferring into crates etc, I've done it a few times with ferals that I've trapped in the past and it is always amazing how fast and strong they can be! (and scary!) :o That is my worry about removing the mother too soon, I've heard different things a...

Fingers crossed the camera works tonight and I can see what's happening. We'll persevere with feeding for n...

Oh that makes things a bit easier then, I'm sure the vet told me to keep the last feral tom in for 24 hours, but they are so stressed I think an earlier release would be better. I'd love them all to have homes, it's heartbreaking seeing them out and scared. This is a link to the page she was on, it ...

Thanks for your replies and the welcome! The situation is a bit tricky as I live about 10 miles away from my elderly mum and she has severe rheumatoid arthritis, so the trapping needs to be done when I'm about too as she couldn't manage to carry a trap with a cat in it. She also has a cat hating nei...

Forgot to add that she does have an old collar on so has obviously been tame at one point, it is hanging off her now though poor thing.

Hello, really could use some advice! There is a stray cat that was living over the road from my mother in a public building that had kittens that people were feeding. The kittens were a couple of weeks old. She disappeared a couple of weeks ago just before a rescue organisation could take her, but h...
