Re: TNR - Did I do something wrong?

I am so pleased to report that I am now at the stage where this cat comes meowing over to me every morning and evening and trots along with me to his food bowl. It's not my first attempt but I was finally able to successfully scratch his head tonight. He still gets flighty and backs away but I went ...

Remain calm at all times, move slowly, don't show any fear, don't st...

Cat Jealousy

I'd love some advice about my cat Max. Him and Storm used to both live outside simply because Storm had been wild and was released here and Max when let outside would sleep in her outdoor bed and didn't want to be in. I can't really remember him ever wanting to be inside. He was an 11 yr old stray. ...

Re: Rehomed cat still nervous

My advice would be that while its important for a cat to hide to feel safe sometimes it pays to push them out of their comfort zone over time. I have to do this at work because while a shy or unsocialized cat needs to feel safe and secure I also need to try and get that cat to be adoptable. An episo...

Re: TNR - Did I do something wrong?

Hes not obviously thinner but I think it is hard to tell from the distance and as he's all black. So tonight he reappeared but was actually waiting for me. He was in his kennel. I took his food out and from across the yard as I talked to him he was talking back. He kept meowing at me as he was waiti...

Re: TNR - Did I do something wrong?

No sign of him. It has been 6 days now. We went away overnight and the food was gone but I believe this was probably my cat who followed me out to feed him thismorning. I have continued to leave food out daily since his disappearance but it usually remains not eaten or only partially and he used to ...

TNR - Did I do something wrong?

I need to know for future reference if I could of done something different. I have been feeding a semi-formal for a month and a half. He got to the point he was waiting for his food every day. He even started sleeping sometimes in the kennel I gave him. He meowed at me the day before i trapped him (...
