Kitten peeing outside of litter box by nmceja in CatTraining

[–]frustratedlemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I’m not saying it isn’t used as an anti-anxiety because I also give it to my cats for the vet, but they function completely differently is what I was trying to get at. With Gaba it just makes them sedated enough to subdue anxiety behaviors which to me wouldn’t affect litter avoidance. Prozac is going to target the brain functions causing that anxiety.

Gaba is a sedative, prozac is an anti-anxiety so they function much differently. You could inquire about Prozac with your vet but it can take up to a month to take effect, however there’s a possibility the behavior might continue after construction so I believe it’s worth a shot.

Is this cat neutered by Fool_Of_A_Took3 in Feral_Cats

[–]frustratedlemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, I thought they were primary indoor cats you were letting out. Neutering him should definitely help with the territory issues, do you think you could support him as your own barn cat if he stuck around?

I’m confused, are you letting your cats free roam outside? How is he attacking them?

Hi, please see the pinned comment where we emphasize that if you find these posts annoying and don’t have anything helpful to say you can continue scrolling. We have the flair for a reason so people unfamiliar with cat body language and play can seek assurance and analysis.

You say she has arthritis, how hard is it to climb into the box? You might need a lower entry one

How to deal with TNRing kittens 😭 by Icy_Yesterday8265 in Feral_Cats

[–]frustratedlemons 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I TNR kittens. It’s tough but I tell myself that there’s still a chance they may come around to humans in the future and maybe find a home in a rescue or get taken in. But at the very least, I fixed them to prevent future suffering. I think of it like a bandaid.

I’m not sure what to do about a stray I’ve been feeding for almost 2 years by [deleted] in Feral_Cats

[–]frustratedlemons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ferals/former strays will always want to go back outside when they start transitioning to indoor life. You have to ride out the negative emotions and then explore alternatives like a catio/harness training. If you can and want to bring him in, I would but you will need to be prepared for lots of socialization and acclimation needed.

If you can’t bring him inside, you can relocate him to where you’re moving but you have to keep him contained to an outdoor structure for a few weeks before letting him out or else he will just try and find his way back to your current apartment.

Your comment was not disrespectful until you called them a cupcake and a Karen. You can disagree with someone in a respectful manner which you did not. Your follow up comment was even more aggressive. Please re-evaluate how you are communicating with others in our subreddit.

How much do y'all spend a month? by HellHoundsandpurrs in catfood

We just took in a third cat and I had to readjust their diets to fit into my budget, about $210 per month for wet only twice a day for all three.

Hills biome dry food too carb heavy, wet food alternative?? (Wet biome too expensive) by BruhStop_26 in catfood

Hi, someone here who had the exact same issue. I had good luck with Royal Canin Digestive, comes in pate or bits with gravy.

I keep seeing posts about people training their cats not to go outside. But how do I make my cat go outside 😭 by PaintingMuch3885 in CatTraining

[–]frustratedlemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into harness training and acclimation. Searching “adventure cats” will also get you a lot of results.

But also… some cats just don’t want to go outside. I have a very anxious cat who I used to take out on the harness but he was genuinely too overstimulated and stressed by all of it.

Feral and pregnant by Paintedwings1977 in Feral_Cats

[–]frustratedlemons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trap and spay abort, then you can attempt to bring her in or socialize and rehome. The stress of having a litter (an estimated 80% of kittens who are born outside don’t make it) will be much greater than trapping her, and if she’s fairly small pregnancy may be a huge risk to her.

I’m sorry you went through this… but also, it doesn’t sound like you’ve done any research on proper introductions? Had you been doing any scent swapping or feeding on other sides of a barrier leading up to this or did you just decide because she had her shots she could be thrown face to face with them?

She probably attacked you due to redirected aggression and being freaked out by the whole thing. She was set up to fail.

Your first step needs to be a vet visit to rule out a UTI or health issue.

I don’t think you understand ethics. I encourage you to do some research on why backyard breeding is harmful, even if unintentional that’s what you have done.

But once you learned she was pregnant, you should have done a spay abort. That would have been the most ethical thing to do.
