I picked up a short haired cat at a shelter about 3 years ago. They said she was about 5 years old at that time. Bringing her home in the cat carrier still ranks among the most heart-wrenching experiences of my life. She meowed constantly, sounded totally terrified. After 3 years, she's worked out...

only recommendation I have is to make outside as scary as possible for them. Leave the door open on purpose one day with someone standing outside. the second they step outside, make lots of loud obnoxious noises. You'll probably have to do it several times over a course of some time. "Loto"...

I'm returning to the UK soon after living in Canada for four years and I wish to take my cats with me. Following advice from a vet in Canada I had them both microchipped and a rabies vaccine done with the view to having a second rabies jab done six months afterwards. Now, after speaking to...

Hi, I just got a new kitty from the shelter. It's the first new kitty I've had in nearly 20 years. I have a venerable old kitty who found me as a kitten. He's gone to live with my S.O. 1,000 miles away (for very good reasons all having to do with him, not with us, and I miss him horribly - so...
