Re: Prince says hi :)
Hi and Welcome! Prince is a doll, he's so cute! I love the videos, especially the one of him going after the milk. I'm so happy that I found this website. I took in a stray cat 2 months ago and he was diagnosed with FeLV (both ELISA and IFA positive). I have 3 other cats in the apartment, and I need to get them all tested to see if they are infected. :( (This is really my fault. I only know that I need to de-flea and de-worm a new cat, but I didn't know about FeLV and the fact that it's transmitted by saliva.) It's been a week since I heard the bad news about the stray cat. At first it really freaked me out and I cried for 2 whole days, but now I'm feeling much better. I decided not to worry too much about the other 3 cats before their test result is out. I already isolated them, BTW. Anyway, here is something about the stray cat. It's a boy, about 1.5 years old. I named him Prince. Prince weighs 11 pounds now, compared to 8.5 pounds 2 months ago. He's very pretty, extremely sweet and purrs all the time. He also has an amazing appetite. I had him neutered on Tuesday. Here are some videos that I want to share with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKMj-DHscTQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QLT9jGhVdA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6nS0Qhe27o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf2KALzDDjs Yes, he's very very active.

OT my neighbor is killing all the cats- SOS
I have a neighbor who hates cats and started to put rat poisons in his yard to kill all the cats who comes to his yard - he also shoots cats and I am so worried about my feral and all other kitties who belong to someone and go there. .he told me that he already killed three - one described sounds like my calico feral and haven't seen her last night and I am very worried. .what is rat poison made out of - is it attractive to cats? He said that he threw cats who were dead outside of the fence yesterday, but I did not see anyone in the alley - it's so awful - I was thinking of warning neighbors with flyers - but is there anything I can do (putting a rat poison is not illegal - he will claim that he is trying to kill rats)

It is very easy to get paranoid with FIP. I always worry about it if someone misses a meal or seems to be sleeping more than usual. But don't let yourself be so convinced that everyone who has died in the past month or two or three is the result of FIP. I think you have something else going on. Some may have had FIP but others? Keep looking. I think there is more to it. Dry FIP usually takes at least 2-4 months from the first little sign of trouble -- lethargy, loss of appetite -- before the cat dies. Weight loss is gradual. At the end the cat is truly anorexic in appearance but it takes time to get there. Neurological signs do not occur in all cases. And it is highly unusual to lose so many in such a short period of time. Not unheard of but rare and usually involving a commercial cattery with a lot of questionable breeding practices. You need to start doing a necropsy on everyone who dies. That is the only way you can be certain if it was dry FIP. Until then, don't make that assumption. Otherwise you may miss something that is treatable or preventable.

If he is putting it in cat food or mixed with meat, it is not for the rats. shooting cats may be illegal. I would definitely make a report to the police/animal control.

One of my friends had a similar problem with a neighbor. I contacted our state senator she had one of her staff people get back to me about the specific regulations what to do. They were very helpful. So, maybe try contacting your state senator state assembly representatives. Hopefully they are animal lovers. Incidentally, this neighbor apologized to my friend out of the blue recently asked her to forgive them...and these people used to be absolutely horrible, to the point that my husband put a surveillance camera on my friend's property for documention of this creep's activities.

Re: OT my neighbor is killing all the cats- SOS
I hate hearing stories like this. Definitely relay your concerns to animal control and/or the police. If you're going to put fliers up, do NOT mention this guy's name. Sounds like he's trouble enough without getting the idea that he needs to get a lawsuit going. And a pit bull is actually a bad idea. I'm not saying that pit bulls are inherently evil, or that this won't keep cats out of his yard, but if a feral strays through that area, it could be a death sentence. I'm assuming that since the guy is a huge jerk, then he'll do his best to train the pit bull to be a jerk, too.
