Dying Cat ?
 

We have had 2 black wildcats in our small backyard since we moved here 6 years ago. We have been feeding them cat food daily since with no problem, one of the cats is now however turning really white and lost most of its weight. Does anyone know what the problem mite be or if there is a helpline to call for ?

SC008Y

try the RSPCA maybe?

or phone your local vet...

sounds like possibly Feline Aids?? im no expert ( in anything apparently) but i remember watching a prog ages ago about feral (sp) cats that had cat flu and feline aids

i wouldn't recommend trying to catch the cat though... a friend did, and she ended up in hospital with somenasty infected cat bites...

RSPCA sounds good thanx, yea the cats look like little black jaguars and I have in the 6 years time never made any contact they are just too wild to get close to

Go out & ask it ?? I dare say you will get an answer ................. :D

don't know about the illness but had a lot of ferrel cats around a few years ago, get them neutered for thier benefit. rspca might know someone who can capture them, although its hard work.

I have just tried phoning them and have been informed to let it RIP, only joking they told me to contact them over the net so I sent them an email. Lets just hope for the best, the cat has actually become more human friendly since turning into a snowflake. Today she was about half a meter away from me while I was fillin up her food bowl of hot n spicy cat corn flakes :)

Shot them,its the best for ALL cats.

:hjtwofing NO ONE SHOOTS MY CATS:mad:

Day 2

Its just past 2 AM and I am having trouble falling asleep thinking about the white ghost cat in my backyard. I am hoping to recieve a reply from HSPC tomorrow with some good news.

The Battle to save the kittie goes on tomorrow

I would for free!!!

did you mean that the coat is turning white?
if so i doubt an illness would do that, more like old age. if a cat is very ill they often take themselves off to die quietly.

if the cat has leukemia or aids etc then all the other cats would prolly have it and domestic cats would be at risk if not innoculated. you must inform the RSPCA etc so it can be looked at :thumb:

Be the last thing you ever do:mad: :hjtwofing

Feral cats do a lot of good, they keep the rat population down and are encouraged by farmers in general. We have some in the barn down the road and also feed them since they are always short of food. Very good looking creatures even though you can't get near them.

Perhaps he is a Michael Jackson sort of cat, do you ever see it harassing kittens? :D

Phone your local vet. They will normally treat wild animals for free

Find someone with an air rifle. It's the right thing to do. Kill both of them in case the other one is infected too.

The local song bird population will thank you for it anyway :)

Agree!!!!

kill the fcukers

re your whit cat


can you not rub it down with `1500 grade wet and dry and then give it a good scrub up with meguars or should that be moguars:lol1:
