Re: Cat shampoo to recommend...
Chris, I feel for you... Bathing a cat is not my idea of fun. Have to go along with you on the drink body armor! I don't care what the experts say, it's an ordeal for both guardian and fur-kid. Unless you have a Maine Coon who LOVES water! Like my Cornelius. He's just s big, and at times lazy. I can give him a bath and it's a real treat for him. Now my Mr. Chow. he was like it sounds you're dealing with! LOL! Anyway, for Cornball, I use "Earthbath -Mango-Tango", plus their conditioner afterwards, when needed. I get it at the health food place. Works great (as long as you can brush/comb the mats somewhat before bathing...) Pre-bath I use the "Miracle Coat Spray". Miracle Coat also makes a foam bath a special detangling shampoo, but I haven't used either of those 2 personally. Halo makes a good shampoo, but never used it on a long hair. (And, as luck would have it, all I have is long hairs now...Talk about Furball City!!) Good luck. And have fun!!! Patti

To Renee
Hi Renee, Wow! You certainly stepped into a whole new world taking on this feral colony. You found the right place for encouragement and good info. First, contact Best Friends (bestfriends.org) if you don't get good response from the other feral rescue groups (I'm sure you will though). I donate to Best Friends, and my grandmother, who lives in NC, started being overrun by feral cats that she was feeding. When I went to visit her, she was having a difficult time affording to feed these cats, not to mention the physical aspect. So there was no way she could afford to spay/neuter them all. I called Best Friends (in Utah), not being sure that they would even be able to help. I was shocked when they contacted a rescue group in NC, who went to my grandmothers, trapped ALL the cats (12 or so), took them to be fixed and clipped their ears, and then brought them all back safely to my grandmother's. I was astounded at the wonderful response she had. They are a wonderful organization and if you get a chance to check them out on the web, do it. I'm taking my nephew there this summer to volunteer in their sanctuary. Second, I think the crawl space idea is a GREAT one! But I did want to ask anyone out there if there are any dangers to this? Hanging wires, pieces of metal, etc.? In other words, does someone need to go in and check the crawl space out or is it just simply empty space? Third, give your husband a great, big kiss! What a wonderful man to go WORK and extra DAY just to feed a colony of cats! I am just taken by that. My husband wouldn't do that, although he is a wonderful man. That's above and beyond! Fourth, I have a feral kitty, Blackie, that has been coming around since the middle of summer. He wouldn't let any of us touch him for the longest, and just a few days after my beloved Cricket passed away last month, he allowed me to pet him. He was on a pillow in our garage, where our outside kitties hang out (there's a kitty door in the garage door), and I went up to him slowly and started petting his ears. I couldn't believe it. So there is hope for Emma. He's still really skittish, but is allowing us to pet him more. I need to take him to the vet, so we'll see when that happens! lol Last, I want to encourage you to continue doing the good deed you have set yourself to do. Nina is right, you CAN do it. There is a wonderful person here (I think Terri, but could be wrong) who took in I think 250 Ragamuffins kitties from a breeder who wasn't a very nice breeder (again, I could be wrong on the 250, but it was a large number), and she just adopted out her last 2 kitties. She is an inspiration to all of us. I hope that gives you some encouragement, and maybe she will email you and offer you some words of advice for dealing with large numbers of kitties. Good luck, and you'll be in my prayers! :) Wendy __ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
RE: Cat shampoo to recommend...
I don't know about taking her out someplace to bathe. I might consider if I absolutely fail! Big Boy is fine. I've sort of renamed him Romeo as he is the mushiest, most loving cat you can imagine and follows around my oldest female like a puppy until she's had enough and gives him a swat! Aaaah, true love. My only problem remains Tucson's absolute hatred of him and I am out of ideas. She cannot see him moving without going balistic. Thing is, he runs away but if she pins him down, he's a whole lot better at fighting than she is and she always ends up with scratches, a couple of bites, etc. You'd think she'd be afraid, but not, it just seems to incite her further. For a lot of reasons, things have been a little chaotic here as I'm changing some furniture, cleaning closets, etc. so everybody's a little crowded for a while which of course does not help.

Re: Introduction
Marissa, Besides the Diarsanyl, I would give him some probiotics, which are good bacteria for his gut. The Baytril probably wiped them all out. The same companies that sell Diarsanyl online usually have probiotics made for animals, like Benebac, but you can also just give him plain yogurt (1/4 teaspoon a day for a few days) or buy acidophilus at a health food store. The only supplement I might give him at this point is slippery elm, which soothes the GI system and is supposed to increase immunity also. I would not start on any other supplements until his diarrhea clears up. You want to keep what is going into him as simple as possible to help clear that up. You may want to ask your vet about giving him W/D or I/D Hills prescription food for a few days to see if it resolves the diarrhea. Michelle In a message dated 12/5/2005 2:21:23 P.M.

My sister is getting married and things are hectic here and there. Just wanted to update everyone who has been so helpful and encouraging with Brooklyn. He is doing well. I finally got up the strength and into a routine of giving him his meds. It's been almost a week and he is doing better. No more vomiting, but all he wants to eat now is dry food. Not interested in the canned food anymore, I think it's because he's afraid there's going to be nasty stuff in it since I tried to hide the meds in it. His poopies (that's the professional term we use around here) are becoming more solid, no more liquid poops. That's happening slowly but surely and guess whatI moved the litterbox to where he kept going on the floor, and he's been using the litterbox CONSISTENTLY! He was just trying to tell me "THIS is where the potty should beif it's not where it should be, I'm goin here anyway" lol. I have to say I'm totally entertained by his bad manners. LOL. He begs for food WORSE than the dogs do! He stole a french fry from my plate! I sit at a snack table and eat since it's just me, and he reaches up with his paw and tries to knock it off the table. If he can't get it or I'm eating he just meows incessantly until i give him SOMETHING. And if I don't pay attention to his begging, he paws ME! Today he wanted biscuits. The cat is hilarious. He is so cuddly it's amazing. He needs a bath though. How would I do that? I know from experience that cats aren't too fond of baths (I used to work in a grooming department and have a NASTY scar from a cat who didn't want a bath that day). Anyway, other than that, no other news except that I asked for the roomba for xmas. It just sounded so great. LOL.

Re: Cat shampoo to recommend...
A great tool to use to safely cut out mats is a letter opener like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007844NO/qid=1133837289/sr=1-14/ref=sr_1_14/002-6508072-7664811?%5Fencoding=UTF8v=glancen=1064954 You can slip it under the mat, and slide it through the mat, with the plastic back next to the cat's skin. That will cut the mat in half down the middle, then it will be easier to break it apart with a comb. Don't slice with it like a knife cutting parallel to the skin, keep it at a 90 degree angle to the cat's body at all times. They also make dematting combs, but these are not as safe for amateur groomers. I prefer the short bladed matbreaker style for cats: http://www.petco.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=155276cm_ven=nfgcm_cat=52cm_pla=155276cm_ite=5391581CMReferringUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2fsearch%3fsourceid%3dnavclient%26gfns%3d1%26ie%3dUTF-8%26q%3dmatbreaker%2bcomb There are quite a few detangler products out there, none of which I have ever tried myself, here are a few: http://www.thecatconnection.com/Tomlyn's-Spray-on-Detangler.html http://www.catseyesupplies.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=915180%7C1269188PRID=1454467 http://www.catseyesupplies.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=915180%7C1269188PRID=1516320 http://www.eqyss.com/pet_survivor.asp http://www.eqyss.com/pet_mega_tek2.asp Jennhttp://ucat.ushttp://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.htmlAdopt a cat from UCAT rescue:http://ucat.us/adopt.html Adopt a FIV+ cat: http://ucat.us/AWrescue/FIV/Adopt a FELV+ cat:http://ucat.us/FELVadopt.html~~~I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a free can of formula!PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!If you use KMR, even just one can, please email me for the NEW address to send them to!~Does your cat have chronic diarrhea that does not respond to treatment, or has your cat been loosely diagnosed as IBD?
