Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Thu May 23, '13 4:22pm PST  I copied this list, as I am looking for help for Felix's surgeries. I came across a few places that will only help with spay or neuter. Since I took him in as a stray & I manage a feral colony & took them all in for spay/neuter (I paid the subsidized balance for all 8 & for all their food on my own) I am looking into those organizations to find help too. I am trying them all, so I can post an update. I will tell you that IMOM has low funds, and can only accept a kitty with an emergency illness, that will not live past 10 days without treatment. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Wed Apr 10, '13 1:29pm PST  I always keep a jar or two of turkey flavor baby food in an emergency, and let them eat it if it gets close to the date, then restock. Felix was so sick & underweight, that I had to give him Nutrical along with baby food, and his regular food. At first I actually had to syringe some in his mouth he was so weak - just to get some calories & energy in him. Later I just mixed it in with some wet food. To me it kind of had a malty smell. He ate it readily, so I don't think it has a bad flavor. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Cat Health > Traumatized kitty

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Fri Apr 5, '13 1:27pm PST  Felix is the same way. I have been using PetNaturals calming treats. They are made in Vermont. They have a b vitamin that is in kitty mom milk that calms the babies, so it is a natural way to help them, I really did notice a difference in Felix. I started using them after we had a break-in & the alarm & police freaked all 4 out, but Feef was just beside himself. I started with 2x a day now I give him 1x a day as he is still very skittish. Got em on Amazon for like $5 they do carry them at Petco for $7-$8 bag. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Kitten Corner > How to tame a feral kitten

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Mon Feb 11, '13 2:25pm PST  I am working through this right now with Felix. He was born in my backyard & became very very ill, I nursed him back to health & he was doing pretty good, then after a break-in at my home, he got very frightened. Patience is your mantra. Food can be a big help. If you area able to, sit on the floor, in the same room as Mia, and have a few treats or favorite snack. Put some a bit away from you. If she is hungry & curious, she may go for it. talk to her, but no quick movements. You can try this every day, and slowly move the treat closer to you. I find speaking softly helps too. A few things I am currently trying and they do seem to help: Feliway diffuser - has pheromones that release a calming effect Nature's Miracle calm spray. I sprits it on the wall or bed where he likes to nap Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming treats - he loves these and they help - I give him 1 each day, and if he is really nervous, I give him an extra. Something I just ordered that I have read good things about is Bach Remedy. You can put the drops in food or rub some on them. On the IBDkitties.net site there is a calming collar that is said to be great - I will be trying that too. Felix is still afraid of The Dad. If he walks into the room with his work boots on, Felix will slink away as fast as possible. And believe me The Dad knocks himself out to try & be friends with Felix - he adores all the kits. He is just a scared kitty. It just takes time. I will post on the Bachs after I get it. Good luck & feel free to pawmail me if you wish! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Tue Jan 8, '13 8:23pm PST  Innova kitten is teeny tiny. It may sound weird, but mom says it is "so cuuuute & teeeny!" it is quite small, and I love it! Maizy eats it too for her tummy, and she is 7. It is prob about the size of this guy here my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Kitten Corner > Litter suggestions for 4 month old kitten

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Tue Jan 8, '13 8:19pm PST  Congrats on your new baby!! If you really want a paper type - they do have Yesterdays News which is a paper litter. I couls swear that I saw a kitten litter at Petco, but I don't remember the name. If you are concerned about her ingesting it, maybe a corn litter. But she should be fine with clumping. I use the walnut litter for Felix because he had hurt his foot & leg and it is soft, I like it, but not everyone does. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Kitten Corner > How were you named?

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Tue Jan 8, '13 8:09pm PST  Well Felix the cat pulls out his bag of tricks when he gets in a fix, and little Felix was in a heap of trouble being very very sick when I found him, and he pulled the "cute kitty card" out of his bag of tricks, and there ya have it. Tigger has been bouncy & trouncy since he showed up in my front yard - it was a no-brainer Smithwick looked regal & Irish to me, so he was named after a town in Ireland Maizy was named because her tummy fur is this lovely shade of goledn orangey brown, and we though of maize. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Kitten Corner > Is this normal?

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Tue Jan 8, '13 8:02pm PST  She is happy to see you - that is what the little chirpie trill noises are. She is young and now you are her kitty-parent, so you are greeted as such. A couple of mine will make that noise when I call their name kind of like "what mom you called?" The energy, well that is a kitten being a kitten, and she feels safe & happy. Ennjoy your little one - just like kids, they grow up too fast! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Felix mon petit chat- noir     Purred: Mon Jan 7, '13 3:20pm PST  Enzymes - Nature's Miracle, or similar. Oxyclean may work too. It is good for getting out blood & stains, otherwise I agree with the vinegar. Also I know it is cold out, but if you can hang them outside too, it may help. Felix wet on my pajama pants when he was littler - he couldn't get to the potty, and I sprayed them with Nature's, then soaked em with Oxy, and washed 2x in HOT water & I don't smell anything, and they have been on the floor again (oops) and no one peed on them... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]
