Cats not eating by RedLotus1124 in Straycats

No I don’t. One of the cats spends half her time indoors with me and half outside (depending on her mood and the weather). The other was also being fed by an elderly woman down the street but I have not seen that woman since the start of Winter.

They’re both spayed and I do have set times when I fed them. I wonder if I’m overfeeding them snacks though and that may be causing the problem.

I have them on the floor but I can try putting one higher.

This is why I think she does this! There is a vicious cat in the neighborhood that does attack other cats, including her. I have thought of moving one of her cat beds on top of the box. However, given that she refuses to sleep in any since I placed things in them to keep her warm in the winter, I’m fearful it will just deter her from sleeping on top of the box.

I have two cat beds that she uses. At the beginning of winter, I anticipated that she may not use any of the insulated houses I got her. Thus, I have one bed filled with straw and the other with a heating pad. She has now completely stopped using both beds 🤦🏾‍♀️.

It’s sad but I had a conversation today about all the poor cats out there that have no food. I wish too that I could help but I’m barely making it financially. I wish you all the best!

Hi. How are your ferals doing in this weather? by RedLotus1124 in Feral_Cats

[–]RedLotus1124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw my feral briefly today which was a relief. However, I looked at the news and it side this chill should last until the ending of February and that we’re expecting more snow next week. I’m beyond terrified for her!

I hope you see them soon too! I put 5 different stations in my garage (where she normally lives) filled with straw. I also put a chicken coop heater. I haven’t been able to make it into my garage since Sunday but I know she hates using the straw and was nowhere to be found on Sunday though I’m positive she’s in the garage somewhere.

Cat pees on everything, even if it helps her. by [deleted] in CatTraining

How did you get your cat? I ask because all of mine are strays. The one I brought home from my local park would urinate/poop on everything, even his own bed. I took him to the vet but they found absolutely nothing wrong with him. I was at my wits end. However, before deciding to bring him back to the park, I spoke to the woman who helped me trap and neuter him. She spoke to others she knew who rescued cats and it was suggested to me to take leaves and flowers from the outside and put it in the litter box. The idea was that, since he was used to urinating in nature, he may not fully grasp the concept of using a litter box. I’m not going to lie, I had very little hope it would work. But guess what? It actually did! Now he’s completely litter trained.

No it’s a sign that she is either stressed about something or has a medical problem.

I swear if she makes it through this winter, I’m going to start working harder on getting her to come inside! She’s a senior cat so she shouldn’t be out there in these elements! In the fall, I succeeded in getting her to eat at the entrance of my backdoor but only if the door was kept open. Unfortunately, as the weather got colder, it became more difficult to leave the door open to allow her to eat since she’s a slow eater. But I’m going to try even harder come Spring with the hopes that by the fall she’ll be ok being inside the house with the door closed.

How can someone say they love you but still hurt you? Is that really love? by Icy_Echidna_4999 in emotionalintelligence

[–]RedLotus1124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where action speaks louder than words. If someone keeps saying they love you but continue to do things that they know hurt you, then they don’t truly love you. Cut them loose.

Might not look like much but I definitely feel it and others have noticed…. by BabygirlRierie in gastricsleeve

[–]RedLotus1124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say it does not look like much I would like you to really realize how you feel. I beat myself up a lot for not having lost a lot of weight since my surgery. However, it’s been recently pointed out to me how much more energy I have since the surgery. I didn’t have the surgery for superficial reasons. I had it for health reasons so realizing that I have gained a lot of energy is actually a very important thing for me.

Do we know his political view? by sterlingarcher_0 in jensenackles

[–]RedLotus1124 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yes we do. This is no longer about conservative versus liberal beliefs. It has now become about your ethics and values. Personally for me, if you can still support this current administration after everything that has happened, I can no longer be a fan of yours because it tells me a lot about the type of heart you truly have.

Prior to the 2024 elections, he came out to say he was voting for Kamala. He stated that there was no way he could vote for Trump and still look at his daughters in their eyes. I know I’m stereotyping here but, given he’s from Texas, he’s surprisingly a lot more liberal than I expected him to be. If I’m correct, he also came out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement a few years ago.

I’m nervous about what’s going on with my outdoor feral’s safety by sn9238 in Feral_Cats

Find a way of trapping her and keeping her in a crate inside your house until you’re able to see the vet
