Around 12 years ago, that was the method San Antonio's Animal Control facility used to kill cats and dogs.  They hooked a pick-up truck to an opening in the wall of a small room.  They filled the room with unwanted cats and dogs - all together, not even separating them by species, and turned on

The problem here is that I'm in Texas.  Killing is the State Sport. Unfortunately, most of the Animal Control Officers don't even know the new rules, which include acceptance of TNR as a way to control outside cats.  They are still terrorizing people who have a small batch of backyard cats who

It's so much easier to slap a label on someone then to ask them why they are doing what they are doing.  The problem is that they don't see that the life force that is in humans is also in every other living being.  To them, cats are rocks.  They can't see beyond their own bare hide to the

I don't know - but what helps one of my FIV+ cats who gets crystal, is putting apple cider vinegar into the water - good quality, of course, and start with a drop, slowly build it up to more to acclimate a cat to it. I add ACV to my bottles of drinking water - makes the water taste so much

My guys won't go near a raccoon, just back off and let it go its way. Curse, a skunk could keep them away because of any smell left behind. Maybe it has gone away enough so we can't smell it, but a cat has a better sense of smell than we do. MaiMaiPG cougarcl...@gmail.com wrote: I

It probably IS the raccoon.  They took one look and said to themselves, Don't mess with that guy!!  You might want to spray something like At Ease on the new feeder but don't get it into the food.  Just give the outside walls of the bin a little spritz.  I spray At Ease in my cat carriers an
