CS>Feral cats
Hello to all! Finally received our Silver Puppy! We are CS newbies and have a colony of feral cats which we've occasionally heard hacking (upper respiratory?). They drink from one big glass water bowl. We'd like to add CS to their water but are concerned as 2 of them are nursing their kittens. Is it safe for these moms to be drinking it too? How long and how much should be added? Could it be added on a daily basis infinitely or do it on a schedule? Many other ferals come through, besides "our" colony which live in a "condominium complex". Thank you! Sam

Re: CS>Feral cats
My daughter was a volunteer with an org. called SNAP that would humanly trap feral cats. They captured and sterilized them. We have 3 feral cats that theysterilized and gave back to us. The vet cuts just the bare tip of one ear off to indicate that they can no longer breed. Is there an organization like that around you that couldat least spay or neuter your cats for a nominal fee or maybe for free? We have a barn and horses so these cats are terrific in controlling the mouse/rat population altho we feed them every day. Most feral cats can't be 'socialized' tho 2 out of the 3 that we have are wonderfully tame and love to be petted.Lola ps. CS mixed in their drinking water is a great idea... maybe a tbs per qt? Itcan't hurt them at all. - Original Message - From: Dee To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sat, 09 May 2015 10:26:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: CS>Feral cats It is totally safe and can even be given neat for a whileDee Sent from my iPad On 9 May 2015, at 12:44, Sam wrote: Hello to all!

Re: CS>Feral cats
Just, please be careful around the cats themselves. It is now known that borellia and its co-infections can be transmitted by fleas and feral cats can come in close contact with ticks that can transmit the microbes to them and then onto the fleas which can bite people and make them very sick.PT From: Dee To: "silver-list@eskimo.com" Sent: Saturday, May 9, 2015 10:26 AM Subject: Re: CS>Feral cats It is totally safe and can even be given neat for a whileDee Sent from my iPad On 9 May 2015, at 12:44, Sam wrote: Hello to all!
