I've done it now...

[Tink]

So that stray I'm feeding?
Well, she brought a friend.
Looks like Cuddles but chubbier. She's living underneath my neighbors house. I believe she had a litter there this summer.
K says they aren't nice because when he went outside and they realized he wasn't me, they hissed and spit at him. Probably cuz he's not holding the tuna:lol: They treat me just fine:lol:

[Moli]

Looks like word has gone around, there's Tuna at Tinks house:lol: :lol:

Be careful Tink - you'll have a whole tribe around at yours'! They are obviously needy cats, but I'm sure you are aware that they may have things that you don't want your own tribe catching .........

[Tink]

Yep, I've thought of that..
I try to keep interaction to a minimum. If I pet them with just my hands, then I scrub up after. If I am feeling weak and let them jump on my lap, then I put those clothes in the wash.
My indoor kitties are treated with Frontline and up to date on vax.
I do still think about it though and hope it's good enough.

That worried me a bit about Onyx, so I gave her a flea treatment and wormed her.

on the second or third accasion Tommy my adopted stray came into my house , he had his meathead into a bowl of food , I gave him some Frontline..he didnt know i had done it ., by doing that I felt a lot happier, just in case he had a little family on him. :D

I used the St. Aubrey's Liver Flavored Liquid Wormer (available at Safeway) in a tin of Fancy Feast Liver, Tink, and she gobbled it down. And I noticed after a bit she did seem to put more weight on.......

I think it's fair to say that all strays will have fleas and worms. I would recommend Capstar for instant de-fleaing. I think that's what the rescue services use. Works overnight but does not kill the eggs or larvae (I think) just the adult fleas.

[dandysmom]

The trouble with a stray is that they don't exactly have "bedding" that can be treated .......

[angieh]

Capstar is a tablet Eileen - although I grant getting a stray to swallow a pill may be a dangerous business.

[dandysmom]

I used the Frontline ......
