Advice re kitty...

It could be allergies...cats are very prone to sinus issues...so hopefully that is all it is as everything is starting to bloom.

It is hard to sort out back-porch feeders. Could you put the food for him in a separate area? It sounds as if the girls have accepted him as part of their group. As an unneutered tom he will probably spend much of his time wandering looking for "love" and only returning for rest and food. In my experience with cats, a young tom is unlikely to bother an older female whether she is spayed or not. He might try to mate her, but in cay colonies it is usually the elder female who is respected. (Like anything, there are exceptions)

Good luck... and thank you for having time and compassion for the poor needy ones.

I know what you mean about complicated given my past experience with Samantha's former Mom. All the talking in the world has no effect on them. I had printed out tons of stuff off the internet on reasons WHY they should be S/N and how many homeless ones there are, even took her to the shelter, showed her the freezers and dumpsters and it had no effect on her at all...

Samantha was fixing to go "Poof" in the night, arrangements had been made already and the day it was to happen, she finally agreed to let me have her so the appointment Samantha had at the vets turned into a visit for a cat of mine and not a "stray"...

Sorry i should have explained better, Charles has been with Duchess and Vicky for a long time over a year or so, until of course she gave him to the daughter, whom IMO took really good care of him, now the girls are here with me, although i take care of all their needs and Dianne has not once come over again, until i took her over to see them, they are still hers legally and she can take them at any time.

I think Charles has more than sinus problems, his eyes looked really bad today, lots of pus in them, i managed to grab him but only got one eye done, however i am thinking it is not a good idea for me to keep medicating him, i may be using something that is making them worse, he needs to see a vet end of story before he ends up blind, she appears still not to be home, i will go see her, but i hardly see the point as she will not take him to the vet, i would help her with transport as she has no car, but she just wont do it no matter what i tell her, I really cannot afford another vet bill right now, i just dont know what to do, i guess i can only but try , he is her responsiblity and i should try and make her responsible for his care,because if i Don't she will always see me as the one who will take care of her problems, but then again i cannot let him suffer either, I just don't have a money tree to pick off to do all these things, i have only enough saved for my own cat to get his teeth extracted and cleaned, i must keep it for him.

More sleepless nights ahead for me, it makes me mad she hasn't a care in the world when it comes to their care or i should say lack of it, i am the one who worries myself sick.

It just seems it is never going to end.
