Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
The little one's been trapped and it turns out she's a girl! :O Somehow she avoided getting pregnant with 4 boys around haha My favourite one has disappeared since Friday, and the other 3 seem to be reverting back to unscheduled feeding times. Whatever it is, I hope at least they're okay. I'm inclin...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Eh, males mounting each other isn't unheard of ; I once a male cat who was, well, gay, and only interested in other males. And yeah, there's the whole "authority" thing as well ; but at least, it means that they can go at it as much as they can and you'll never have to care for stray kitt...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Hmm, the two foxes that have been visiting only seem to come and drink from the water bucket and don't seem to eat the food whenever it's been left out too late (based on camera footage). Should I take the risk and leave it where they won't be bothered to check on the table? As a last resort I mean....

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Alright. Two more cats have been neutered, one more to go! Turns out all are male, so no idea why they were mounting each other :lol: I'll have to trap the last one myself so that'll take a few weeks apparently, especially since he's not as reliant on me for food. RSPCA have been really helpful thou...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
It's been a while since I last posted an update since nothing really happened in between then and now, thought I should give one now. :? The RSPCA TNR-ed one of the boy cats yesterday, returned him today afternoon and he surprisingly came to eat dinner (2 days' worth in one go) this evening; though...

I live in North-West London; think that limits me a bitLilith wrote:A trill is a good sign!
Maddening about the traps though - do you feel comfortable about posting your area in case there's a small rescue near you who could help?
Good on you and all the best

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
I would ring round all the rescues in your area, I’m sure that one will have a trap you can loan. it’s in their interests to help you out otherwise they could have more than 4 to sort out soon - you could remind them of that maybe ;) Called as many vets and shelters near me as possible today, all s...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Ha, the awkward little gits! Having spent time rehabilitating ferals myself, I must say this is typical, brings back memories! I have a cellar with a window which used to be called the 'drop in centre' :lol: Made it easier with food and water and a tray too although it ended up reeking of tomcat sp...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Damn this is hard. I've been giving them dry food for the past few days at certain times but the little **** don't seem to have a schedule! Only two of them are eating and that's at least a few hours after I put the food out - put out around 7pm, they eat after 10pm/put out 1pm, they eat at 5pm. Wha...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Not much of an update, but one of the welfare officers recommended I set up a feeding routine so they can come round and catch the visitors. I suppose they want set times they know the cats will definitely be around so their time isn't wasted. I don't mind feeding them but I'm worried that if I offe...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Hi and welcome. It’s good that you’re caring about these cats, and definitely don’t be concerned what anyone says. If there’s 4 of them it does sound like a group of ferals to me, especially if you can’t handle any of them. I got a group of ferals near me trapped and neutered 11 years ago with the ...

Re: Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
Hi and welcome - and I can sympathise, me too when it comes to trying to talk to people (except on this forum where we're all like-minded :) ) I think you're being very patient - many people would be outraged about the stinky messages this cat (and he does sound like an entire tom) is leaving but y...

Possible strays in my garden. Need advice
I've been getting visits to my garden from 4 cats pretty regularly for the past few weeks during the mornings and evenings. I'm concerned one of them might be stray and/or unneutered as it has been spraying (pungently) everywhere (incl. front & back entrances) for the past 2-3 months and is the ...
