Did you know that there's screening available that is "pet'proof"? Our cats
climb the screens, and we will replace them with the special ones.

I guess "regular" vets don't clip the ear because people would freak

suspect I will use chicken wire to make a screened in porch here. The
bugs don't bother me nearly as much as the thoughts of something
harmful getting on the porch to be.

Sounds like a good start! Are you doing the eye contact stuff -- not
staring, doing the "slow blink" etc.? The future enclosure sounds like a
great idea.

Dont use chicken wire, it goes to pot very soon. Use ¼ or ½ hardware
cloth, or even turkey-wire much more sturdy and you dont look like youre
sitting in a chicken coop. Then you can staple or nail screening on the
outside and not be bothered with flies/mosquitoes!

Lowes had "PET SCREEN". It is much heavier than regular screen, and
our porch is screened with it. Great stu
I use feathers or a long handled bath brush to win over a shy or
feral cat. I've had them simply melt at the touch, and soon
become very affectionate.

Well clipping the ear is for ferals, so not for domestics that folks are taking
constant care of. Regular vets prob don't deal w that much. There are only
certain vets that we can take ferals to, others won't deal with them.

I like the ideaof a tattoo in the ear. What does it say? How would one know
the cat has been spayed/neuterd and when? Does it give name of owner or vet?

The mention of pet screening sent me searching. Did you know Pfifer als makes
a no seeum screen. Those monsters make huge welts on me. Now the question is:
do I need pet screen and no seeum to make a comfortable place for myself and
the cats? I was going to use 1/4" wire cloth, but if pet s
Wow, what a terrific idea! I just put more bedding in with Hemy because she
looks cold. She hissed, of course. I left my hand in there a minute,
wondering if I should try to touch her. She didn't go for me, but I thought
better of it. This might be an idea to build a bridge!
