so far she has acted housebroken so bonus. kinda knows how sit works. super attention heavy, any positive attention at all she just eats it up belly rubs i thought might have broken her mind, got this whole facial expression like "how can this exist" so far no problems with the murderdogs yet so fingers crossed

One of the female feral cats living in my yard is extremely pregnant, and has been for several months now. She’s been that way for so long that we’re starting to wonder if something is wrong, or if we might need to take her to the vet. Only problem is, we’re not really sure how to catch her. Would trying to coax her into an open pet carrier with a can of tuna be a good strategy to try? Should I be worried at all?

My suggestion would be make a shelter, somewhere warm and dry, with some towels or small blankets you dont mind getting trashed. hell maybe make it in a pet carrier for the whole 2 birds one stone thing. tuna or any stinky wet food is usually a good enticement. try not to get bit, cat bites are no joke and sometimes worse than a dog bite. pupdate: Well. 5 minutes of low level whining when crated in the evening for the first time, god I wish all dogs were this easy to crate. no accidents, cept for a small one earlier in the evening that she stopped mid squat when being told no. she is attention starved though  asides from being starved starved  super lovey dovey dog though. honestly for a strange dog this one has been a walk in the park so far other than OMG FURRY THING dash she is really good at stop freezing when you say no though, so im cautiously optimistic. a bit of a climber though which might take a bit of training to work with.

Progress: If I'm sitting very quietly on my laptop and pretending diligently that I don't notice, the kittycat will now exit the futon under the bed and alternate between checking out the room and staring into my soul. Of course, if I 'notice' the cat is now wandering around in my room, he goes back under. So we've gone from 'hiding completely' to 'accepting scratches if I go under' to 'exploring even if I'm in the room'. Gotta work my way up to cuddling!

 yaywell dog went to the vet, other than being 10-15 pounds underweight she is in good health. Got all her shots and stuff, they asked ladyfrog what her name was and she said fish. so I guess we have a cat named dog and a dog named fish

Update: I think the mother gave birth this afternoon. I didn’t see any actual kittens, but I did hear tiny kitten mewing under the table in our storage room behind some boxes, and mom was back there staring at me. I really hope they’re all okay. I don’t want to get too close to them since I don’t want to scare mom, but the last time this particular momcat gave birth, this happened.

moms gonna be hungry and thirsty and chances are you have yourself a kitten nest in your storage room. if this same cat keeps breeding you might want to see if there is a local organization that does spay and release for ferals. or you are going to be an eternal kitton host.

It happens. Our cats are Newt and Toad. Not from the same litter, surprisingly. I don't know if it's appropriate for me to talk about Newt here? I adopted her from a shelter, and she is pretty buttery. (when I got her a month ago she was 15.4lb on what is probably a 10lb fame, looks like a tsuchinoko when she runs)

spookygonk posted:We need video. It's hard to get video because she looks most like one when she's darting under the bed, as she does when she encounters anything mildly distasteful. Hopefully this will do as a teaser for now.  I got Newt about a month ago. I went to a shelter to look at another cat, but I ended up wandering around and finding her. When I opened the cage, I started petting her. Then she kept straining to keep my hand on her head as I scritched. She's seven, and her old owners gave her up when they got a new kitten. When I found her she'd been in the shelter for over five months and gained a point. She's lost half a pound at this point. As a newt, she is amphibious. She puts one paw in it and leans down to drink the water from the bowl. Like an idiot.  Appropriately ashamed. I've had cats before, but never one this gentle or sweet. In spite of her size she doesn't really complain for food and can be easily distracted with catnip, see first picture. It's hard to get her to play - even the stuff she does like only interests her moderately. Does anyone have any tips for this? She sleeps right next to my head and gently paws at me when she wants to be pet. Her purr is a loud little trill. Also, she is remarkably tolerant of things that I put on her.  Including the dog's sweater. She doesn't like the dog yet, but he keeps a respectful distance.  The surrender form said she didn't get along with cats, but after about a week she and my roommate's cat, Toad, were cordial. They sit next to each other, give sniffs.  I have several dozen pics of her at this point. I feel like the parent of a newborn child. A cloud child. A sheep child. This post is already too long. So this is all for now.

well the puppy is good, but yeah has quite the prey drive. totally fixates on the cats, really not sure its trainable in that regard.  we are working with it but damned if it isn't a bit nerve wracking, in all other regards its a totally sweet pup, but at this point i wouldn't have it around small animals or small kids. hopefully that improves.

I love those nose dots, omg. Maybe try Da Bird if she needs the exercise though, that one seems to set something off even in the laziest of cats if you move it right.

I've tried that type of toy and she's not that into it, but I could find another kind. She kind of likes her little cardboard tube on a wire.

Hello foster thread, I haven't caught up on the last ~2500 posts, but since Chili and Butterscotch were part of the reason I found out about and became interested in fostering, I thought I should share my experience. I started fostering literally this week on Wednesday, since my fiancee and I aren't sure what country we're gonna be in over the next few years (yay, Brexit  ) but we love cats and want to have one around the house.Everyone: meet Kitty! She's five years old, her owner passed away on the weekend. She is oh my god the sweetest cat I've ever met. Within a couple of hours of coming home she was attached to my legs and purring like a motor. It's gonna be hard to say goodbye to her, but I know there are other cats I can help, and she will make a great companion to someone else

constantinople posted:They're one of those really good things about her that don't make any sense. The trick I found with Da Bird is if you drag it along the ground in kind of a hoppy way, they go insane. Something about it looks like a real critter wandering around. If she doesn’t go for it then, well, you probably don’t have a very good mouser in her either.
