Homeless Cat Care

Although cat may seem to be more resilient than dogs, where their digestive processes are concerned they are approximately about the same. A cat reacts much the same to some foods as dogs and of...

My husband Stew captured this great shot of our Tabatha in which she appears to me to be growling. Obviously, he must have caught her cleaning up after a meal or something like that. I was real...

My indoor oat grass plantings are not doing as well as they used to. The seed is only maybe 6 months old. Not all the seed will germinate. Between plantings, I keep the seed in the refrigerator...

I thought you might like to see what tumbleweed looks like before it dies and starts tumbling around. It's the bigger green stuff in this photo. I learned that it's edible - recipes on the Int...

I've been assuming that a feral cat is one who was not born in captivity and has not been handled by humans - never domesticated. Some of the ones we have which fit that description will not le...

When I first started caring for our inherited cat colony, I was a novice. I did some reading and discovered the type of protein in dry cat food is not as good as the protein in wet cat food. So...

I ordered some "cat grass" (oats) from a company on Amazon.com It grew well and our domestic cats devoured my test batch, as you can see. So now I'm growing another, thicker batch of it. Batch...

I am always amazed at how cats form some habits and persist with them consistently. Tabby in the photos loves to 'steal' my husband's office chair when he's not occupying it. Also, she sometimes...

I tend to put off trimming the claws of the ones who will allow it. I can totally understand why so many of my friends who have cats as pets never try to trim the nails. I can distract Panther a...

We have three cats that we are fostering - Stripe (tortoise shell) was formerly feral; Scrufty (medium hair tabby) was abandoned; and Panther (black domestic short hair) was abandoned. Stripe ha...

have the tendency not to write much about our Tabby (Tabatha) because she's really her daddy's girl (daddy is husband Stew who takes our photos). She sleeps on him at night. And she sticks to h...

Hi, For a while, I’ve been looking for a way I can help myself and others bring in more income. Many of my clients and pet lovers are struggling with finances. Many people are looking for a...

Just to update you, Scrufty is doing well after her surgery. It is so wonderful to see her eating frequently throughout the day. She was never a good eater before, probably because of all of the...

One of our indoor cats, Tabby, loves to grab the edge of my Navajo blanket with her front feet and run her back feet on the blanket like a cartoon character running up in the air. It is so funny...

I am very pleased with Scrufty's progress after her dental surgery. Unfortunately, I only have a photo of Scrufty in her cage from right after her surgery. Recently, we let her out of the cage, ...

Since Scrufty has been healing from a severe infection, I have been helping her with her immune system. The vet said to put a pinch of vitamin C in her food. Even before I discovered Scrufty's e...

Scrufty does not seem to have any problems after her dental surgery. She seems perkier than before the surgery. Her sense of smell must have been impaired by the infection. Now she is smelling ...

Ever since I have known Scrufty** she has preferred to stick around our home – usually in one of the kitty condos I built for the colony to use on the back car port. Thus, after her surgery I ...

Stripe is a nearly two year old feral which I have been socializing separately from our house pets. She is almost ready for adoption, spending every night for months in my cat room. The last she...

There has been a sad cloud in my home. Stripe was lost for 5 days. Originally I got a spiritual message that she was hiding and scared. But then I got the message that she might have been attack...

As you can see from these photos, Stripe cleaned up beautifully at the groomer. Contrary to what you might think, her traumatic episode had made her more affectionate. She wants to lay on my lap...
