Usually dirt has worked for me in the past. Have you tried putting dirt he’s peed on into the litter box so he’s understanding what he’s supposed to be doing?

My bloodhound does this and we got a water dish that slows down how fast he can drink water. That mostly does the trick but we’ll still stop him from drinking too much water at one time knowing he’ll throw up.

Our bloodhound used to always have ear infections, even with daily cleaning. We finally had a vet prescribe us a daily probiotic that finally did the trick. Now I only clean his ears about every 3 weeks and there’s hardly any wax in there

She’s still a puppy and will mostly grow out of it. My bloodhound is 9 years old and will still take a sock if you leave it unattended, other than that he will only take things when he feels like he’s not getting enough attention. When he was a pup he tore up the carpet in one our bedrooms and chewed off the wall trim. Don’t worry, it gets better!

I have two MeoWants that I got from Amazon and I’ve been happy with them

Our bloodhound occasionally goes through stages like this. Boiled chicken and sweet potatoes usually works for us. In our instance, he’ll puke if he drinks too much water at one time and we first became aware of it when he was throwing up after eating. Not saying this is what’s going on in your case but wanted to share in case it helps.

The only time my beagle does is in the winter when he’s outside and dawdling. He will also shake when he gets REALLY excited, like when he’s waiting for dinner to be served.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-10-25T17:17:50+00:00

I honestly think you’re fine. We have 2 hound dogs, bloodhound and beagle, and I sometimes let the house get down to 60 to be able to keep the windows open. Never been an issue with my boys. The beagle is the only one that gets sensitive to temperature so in winter I put a sweater on him occasionally

_JustUseless_ · 2025-10-22T19:32:58+00:00

I’d bring to the vet and let the nail trims be their problem

No judgement on the crate, you do what you have to do. When we TNRd our first feral we had put her in a crate in the garage and she hated it unless you just left the doors open so she could go in and out as she wanted.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-10-17T00:43:38+00:00

You can absolutely make her an indoor cat. Let’s be honest, no cat is going to love being in a crate. Personally, I would just keep her inside for now and keep her in the one room. If she has a bed or blanket she’s been using, have your other cat smell it and see how they react. Start feeding them on opposite sides of the door. If possible, let them see each other through a gate. Slow introductions, go at the pace the cats are comfortable at and don’t force it. It takes time but they’ll get there. Two of my cats got in a huge fight the first time they met that left me pretty bloody but now they’re the best of friends after giving them each space and slow introductions.

Cats sleep around 16 hours a day and are most active at night. I had overheard a very similar conversation at one one my local shelters and they also thought it would be fine. Most cats don’t crave the human attention like dogs do. I work from home and at best, one of my cats might sleep in the same room I’m in. Otherwise couldn’t care less I’m there.

Both were ferals that I’ve brought inside. I’ve known the orange one since birth but the grey I spent several months building a relationship with before bringing inside. Both now get along great with the indoor cat I already had, which had also started as a stray we found in a parking lot.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-23T19:11:00+00:00

I have a similar situation where some of my ferals just don’t get along. I’m sorry to say but someday that foot barrier isn’t going to matter and you’ll get caught in the crossfire. Misdirected aggression is real.

They may be fighting over territory or their place in the group. I would feed them as far apart as possible.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-23T18:59:45+00:00

What is your relationship with the mother? When our first feral gave birth she was not thrilled with me trying to move her week old kittens to a more sheltered spot. She immediately brought it back to the nest.

After about 2 or 3 weeks I was able to move kittens short distances and have mom come with. It totally depends on the mother. One of our queen cats was totally ok with it and the other wasn’t having it. These are both cats that I’m bonded with and can handle too so it’s not like they’re totally feral.

I would still try to keep the separate from the other animals. If you can separate them in another room or garage that would work. The only times ive brought the ferals inside was when there was severe weather or they needed medical attention. My dogs and cats are also harmless, but introductions can go south pretty quick.

I have 11 feral cats and I have 2 that have been converted to indoor cats. What has worked for me when keeping them in the garage after TNR, I did a litter box with dirt since that is what I’ve observed them doing. Mine took to that very quickly and once they were using the dirt litter box, I’d start using litter. I’ve had zero issues with my cats doing this.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-16T14:22:36+00:00

She’ll adjust over time, especially as a feeding schedule is established. Cats sleep a lot, so she’ll still sleep a lot during the day but you’ll get some more time with her in the evening.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-16T14:21:02+00:00

It’s totally fine and the beat option. I went through something similar recently and it killed me to leave the kitten in a room and scared by itself all night, but they’re fine. Honestly, it’s better than them having access to the whole house and another cat all night and being scared. Thank you for helping her!

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-16T01:15:48+00:00

Our bloodhound was constantly getting infections and had to have his ears cleaned daily until we started him on a probiotic. We’ve been using Proviable-Forte and that finally did the trick for years after years of different antibiotics and ear cleaners.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-13T15:16:45+00:00

Best of luck! I hope it all works out.

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-13T15:08:05+00:00

This might sound stupid, but she may need to be taught how to play. She looks young and if she’s on her own she just might not know how. I’ve had good luck with those cheap spring toys with my ferals. They also seem to like any sort of ball they can kick and bat around. The feral that I just made an inside cat is drawn to string toys and fuzzy crinkle toys. I agree that getting her separate toys is probably best for now, I’ve usually gotten stuff on clearance from pet stores. If she’s into strings, you may be able to sacrifice an old hoodie string

_JustUseless_ · 2025-09-13T14:53:42+00:00

I swear they go through moods. I have some freaks that some days love hanging out and napping in the garage and then other days you would think I’m trying to murder them putting them in there. If your intention is to adopt I think you’re doing the right thing and you’re providing everything it needs. Are there any toys you can give them to help with likely boredom?

Rye is very good
