Feral cats? I need some help/tips please?




Ok, So my sister has a cat trap and she sets it out every night, Outs food in it then waits. Usually in the next hour a cat gets trapped and she calls me. So i take the cat, But I have ben taking cats from her for 10 days in 2 weeks. The big problem is there all Feral and very mean. I will not take them to a animal shelter because even the No kill animal shelters say they wont take them. So im stuck with 10 Feral cats. (there all in big great dane cages don’t ask why i have so many cages) They have cat box food and water, But i cant keep this up. My neighbour says if i cant tame them in the next 2 months he will Report me. Kitty treats wont work. Toys wont work. And if i try and cuddle or touch them they Will kill me, There is 3 unspayed females in one room and 7 unnutured males in my other bedroom. There all about 1-3 years old. So can anyone help me out?.
Oh and I mean they are all in there own cages. 1 cat per cage
People, people, people I AM a Rescuer i have a License to prove it. I Have the money to take care of them. and i really dont like many of you say there not "Tame-able" I have in fact tame 3 Feral cats and now there very sweet cats. I will NOT have them taken to the pound and they will not be killed.
All of these cats have ben sedated and check out by a vet. olny 3 were sick and are on meds. They will all be spayed and nutured in 3 days. Then i will work with them all i need are tips on how to help them.
Thank you Dawnfire I will Email them.

How do you house train a male cat?




My cat is or has been house trained to pee and #2 in his litter. throughout the 10 years i have had him, hes used while every now and then peeing on towels and beds etc. Well over the past Month, he pees every where but the cat box. how do i retrain him? thanks for your answers and suggestions.
His enviornment has changed some…my grandma lives here now and she brought 5 cats with her. the 5 cats stay in her room. but that was months ago and he was peein fine. I dont know how a vet would help but if it would, then ill do it. any other suggestions?

I have had my cat for almost two years, she was fully house trained from the beginning, no problems at all. About six months ago, we got a puppy. After a couple months she started staying outside for days at at a time, finally being missing for a full month. I finally got her back, and will not allow her outside. Problem is, now she is pooping in the house. Her cat box is kept clean. What’s the deal?

my cockateil broke his leg.. help




he broke his leg about 15 days ago.
he has been pecking at it and now its almost completely off.
i had him in a cat box because the vet said it would be best, but i hoped that putting him back in his cage would make him happier and stop him from taking the cast off…
to sum it up.. i have a few questions:
1.is it ok for the bird to perch with his broken leg?
2.would the vet replace the cast free of charge?
3.would it be best to put him back in the cat box?
thanks so much

So I have 4 cats and have questions…?




well two that I got first have some…. weird behaviors. When the younger one of the two goes into heat, the older one tries to mount her.. And I was wondering why she would do this? I mean they are both girls it doesnt really make sense to me. Also Ive just gotten this female kitten and I was also wondering if she sees this behavior if she will try to copy it from them?
About my fourth cat, shes the oldest of the 4, and when we got her the lady said she needed to be the boss and the other 3 needed to know that. Well they dont mind her, they dont hiss, or growl or anything, but when they try to play or even just walk by her she attacks them, or growls and takes off running. And since shes been here I’ve noticed shes lost a lot of weight since from when we first got her. I was wondering what i could do to help her get along with the others and help her gain her weight back. I’ve tried giving her her own spot in our closet( she likes to hide out in there) we’ve given her her own food dishes, cat box and kitty tower, but she still doesn’t seem happy. How can I make her feel more at home, and at peace with the other 3?

I didn’t notice until today when I left my home for awhile and came into my house. I got a big whiff of cat pee. I’ve never noticed cat pee anywhere other than the litter box. I asked my brother if my house always smells this way and he said yes. How embarrassing. How do I get rid of the smell when I’m not sure where it’s coming from. My whole house smells this way…not just the cat box.

My 7 yr old male neutered cat keeps going to the cat box and making that meow they usually make when they are about to vomit. He eats a little, drinks a little, then back to the box. He is otherwise acting ok, tail up, purring when I pet him. Could this be something serious or could he be constipated just like people get? He hasnt eaten anything unusual or gotten into anything, he is an inside only cat.

Why wont my cat ever use the litter box???




She was originally a stray and we took her in and she’s been with us for about 6 years. I’ve researched so many things on this and nothing seems to come up. I’ve moved the cat box, I’ve changed the litters, I’ve tried different types of cat boxes, tried giving her extra affection and encouragement. I’ve tried deterrent sprays, I’ve taken her to the Vet and they said nothing was wrong with her. I even went so far as to try anti depressants. She doesn’t go on tile floor, only carpet. I feel like I’ve tried everything, I just can’t figure out what else it could possibly be. There haven’t really been any changes of anyone coming or going etc. She has always had this problem and it’s just getting to the point where I’m exasperated and out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions at all???

Cat box odour lingering?




Cat box was kept in hall closet by previous tenants. I have stripped and waxed the floor 3 times and the walls have been painted twice. Fabreeze works but only for a couple of days and then the odour is back. Any ideas?
