Bathroom cat on the porch

This is usenet, and I can express any opinion I want to whether you like

is for another day is cruel, regardless of the good intentions that got
her there.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray

To your credit, I read on other posts of your compassion and
practicalness in doing your part in your corner of the world; this is
commendable.


However no-body like to be made felt compelled particularly in a
volunteer situation.

You recognize that he caught the cat for the sole purpose of having it
neutered. You don't see nobody else telling Charlie what to do, just
you.

You can't say just because you are right about a thing, makes it ok to
nag.

Now you apologize to Charlie for underminding his efforts and his
work...I said! He tried to take the cat to the weekend vet to get it
nuetered.

Don't say a word! Not a word.

why the vet can't take her today and spay her tomorrow. Please be kind
and at least get her to the clinic today.

She is at the vet now. She never went without food or water.

The whole process has been barbaric and I will be glad when it is
over.

Thanks for your support, Barry, but I understand and forgive women for
their outlandish tirades. They are controlled by their emotions and
the catamenial cycle. I have found that patience and gentlemanly
behavior will often yield a hot **** when they finally come to their
senses and realize how stupidly they have behaved.

In my experience vets have limited space to board animals that were not
already on an appointment list for that day. They are not usually set up as
your usual boarding facility.
One thing I have found working with fareals is they can and will escape. No
matter your attempt at keeping them trapped. The medium/large dog kennel is
large enough to putt a small litter pan in and still have enough room for
the cat. If there is no pan just litter there is still enough room for the
cat to stay away from its own waste for a day. As for food and water, most
vets recommend them be empty stomached before surgery anyway. Also most cats
will not eat or drink for a day or so after they have had surgery. I know it
seems cruel but just think about how long these animals go without eating
before they actually make a kill. Remember only like 1 in five hunts ends in
a kill. So many of these animals are used to not eating simply due to
surviving outdoors. I'm not in any way saying it's a good thing just stating
a fact.

oh thats funny. Sounds like a shredder party. That is not an easy job and
some cats espiecialy a scared wild cat will not let you bath them. Might as
well grab up a lynx or a bob cat.

I think you should move forward and give the new cat a bath

Charlie: First, trim the talons off the cat's claws. The trick in
washing a recalcitrant pussy is to hold it up by the nape between the
shoulder blades (NOT the nape of the neck because this will choke an adult
cat) so the cat cannot get traction and cannot bite you. With the other
hand you hose your pussy with barely warm water. Once soaked, pussies
usually resign themselves but remember ... don't let your guard down.


The cat is feral, no way is he going to be able to trim her claws. He
doesn't need to give the cats a bath either. Or are you attempting to be
funny?

This cat did not have to do without water for any period of time and
was fed normally. I was able to slip food and water through the gate.
I couldn't get a litter box in, however, because I was worried it
would escape if I opened the gate that far. Ergo I poured some litter
into the back of the pet porter, and that worked fine.

The cat is now at the vet. How he plans to administer the anesthesia
is anyone's guess. Based on my knowledge of this particular animal, I
fully expect to see a wounded vet when I go back later today.
