Wild cats wander through the streets all their lives
** Wild cats are a big problem worldwide. Most people know some wild cats in their neighborhood, and some areas are infested with feral. Wild cats are cats that grew up in the street and live their lives outdoors. They provide problems for a variety of communities, including people, birds and other cats. Fortunately, there are many ways in which people can help with the wild population in a human and loving way. Here, we will tell you everything to know about wild cats and how you can help.

Are wild cats different to street?
In a brief answer, yes. Wild cats are cats that have lived all their lives outside or in nature. Street cats are cats that lived in a house at one time or another, but were lost or abandoned. Street cats and wild cats behave very differently due to their previous experiences of exposure with humans. A street cat can approach you and beg for food, while a wild cat would wait at the bottom until it left the area. Wild cats rarely make noise, where a street cat has learned to do around humans. Street cats depend openly on humans, while wild cats barely recognize them.
How do wild cats live without humans?
The life of a wild cat is not easy. To begin with, they do not have medical attention and, therefore, are extremely susceptible to diseases, infections and parasites. Wild cats also have to deal with the inclement weather; From rain to snow storms, to overwhelming heat waves. They are at risk of animal abuse of being outside, and they have to avoid poison and animal traps. Finding food is a constant task, and fighting for the territory with other cats is always a threat. For all these reasons, the average life of a wild cat is less than two years. This does not include the fact that approximately half of the wild kittens born die in the first week.

What are some ways to help with wild cats?
There are two main ways in which a person can help the population of wild cats. Both aim to keep the wild population in a human way, as well as relieve communities of the harmful effects of intact wild colonies. Wild cats that have not been sterilized/castrated are more likely to spray, fight and, of course, remain in the streets for the rest of their lives. The ways in which it can help keep the population of wild cats leave and increase the quality of life of wild cats in their community:
Participate in Trap-Neuter-Llease: The liberation of trap-neutity, or TNR, is the most effective way to maintain humanly by the population of wild cats. In TNR, participants will present human traps to catch wild cats so that they will then collect and bring the veterinarian. The veterinarian will sterilize/marry the cat and probably vaccinate them against rage. Then, the cat will be released in the area from which they were trapped. In this way, the cat can no longer produce more wild kittens or transmit anger to another animal. This is the most profitable, human and efficient way to keep the population of wild cats withdraw. Many veterinarians and animal hospitals provide free sterilization/castration services for wild cats, or a discount rate.
Become a caregiver of Colonia: Colonies caregivers will be in charge of a particular colony in the neighborhood, as well as some other responsibilities. If a cat needs surgery, the caregiver of the colony will catch and lead the cat to the appointment, and then offer his home for later care. They can also intervene and encourage wild kittens so that they can be bells and help them adopt them. If you are interested in becoming a colonian caregiver, Alley Cat Allies has a great guide for the entire process.

Is the relocation an option?
It may sound simple: “Why don’t we move wild cats to another place?” Well, unfortunately, cats are very territorial creatures and will simply come to their goal to return to the same area in which they have been hanging out all the time; Not to mention the fact that it would be difficult to transport and then find an area to live the entire cat colony.
Can I bring a wild cat to the shelter for adoption?
Unfortunately, wild cats often pass the point of being adoptable. If a cat is truly wild, its behavior around humans is not desirable for almost any cat owner. They do not know how to interact with humans and will not learn in the short term. However, if the cat who lives in his backyard seems friendly and anxious to enter, it is likely to be a street cat, not a wild cat, and could be a great candidate for adoption.
** Can I adopt a wild cat?

Again, wild cats are not the same as helmets. A wild cat and a house of houses are excellent examples of the argument of nature against parenting. Although both cats are cut from the same fabric, their education severely changes the way they interact with humans. Even if you had two kittens from the same litter, one went to nature and another brought to the house, they would grow to act completely different. Early socialization is the best way for a cat to learn to behave with humans. Bringing a wild cat to your home is a danger to their entire home, since wild cats can have any number of diseases, infections and parasites, and can behave violently towards humans.
Can I adopt wild kittens?
Wild kittens can become homemade boxes if they are exposed to humans early enough
Yeah! While the kittens are at least four weeks old, the minimum age required for kittens to threaten their mothers, they can safely be taken to the house. Be sure to take the kittens to the veterinarian for their shooting and sterilization procedures, and socialize them as much as possible. The kittens should generally not be in adoption until they are at least 8 weeks old; At that time, you can adopt them yourself, send them to a shelter without killing or deciding to keep them yourself. If wild kittens take home early enough, they can end like any other happy and friendly kitten for humans.
What should I do if I find a cat on the street?
If you find a cat in the street and approach you, they are likely to be a street cat, not a wild cat. You can continue contacting your neighbors, taking the cat to a veterinary clinic to be scanned for a microchip and contacting all local shelters to add the cat to their lost and found bulletin. You can also see what resources for lost cats are online for your area. Promote cat and help publish “found” ads yourself will probably end better than a shelter, since most of the shelters are shelters to kill and will only cling to streets for a few days before sacrificing them.
How did a cat attract?
Catching a wild cat for TNR can be saving his life
You will have to buy a trap the size of a human cat, to begin with. You can find them in most hardware stores or online for less than $ 50 each. Remember that you can use this trap more than once, so it is a decent investment, especially if you live near a colony. Resist the impulse to feed cats for two days before catching so that they are more hungry and will risk entering the trap for a gift. Place the wet cat food in the trap behind the travel plate and wait for the cat to be trapped. Then, you can take the cat trapped to your veterinarian as soon as they are safely in the cage. The veterinarian will do the procedure and then probably the touches. Ear tip is a way to mark the cat’s ear so that humans know that they are tnr’d.
By participating in TNR, he is helping to keep the population of wild cats down, in addition to helping wild cats in their area to have a higher quality of life. The wild cats did not choose the life of the street, the life of the street chose them, so you can think of them as the strange cousin of your house. Happy Tning!

I love this story of Max, the cat, obtaining a doctorate at Vermont State U in Castleton after 4 years hanging on the campus.
According to the story, he was a friend of all the students, he helped keep the levels of anxiety, comforted and perhaps even advised them during difficult times and made the campus a more pleasant place to be.
(Copy and paste the link). I think you will enjoy the story.

Cat lovers are well familiar with the relaxing buzz of a cat’s snoring and generally associate it with satisfaction and relaxation, but the complexities behind this subtle sound extend far beyond mere happiness. Cats are irrigated by a variety of reasons, offering us some ideas about their psychology and physiology.
With what most people are related is the scenario of a relaxed and happy cat in a lap while stroking gently. Many people assume that if the cat is snoring, everything is fine. Not always. Ronaronar is more complex than that. Cats can snort when they are scared or threatened, possibly as a means to calm or appease a perceived threat. Like a nervous person, he smiles in an insecure situation, a cat’s snoring during moments of anguish serves as a soothing mechanism, helping them to deal with anxiety or perceived danger and, hopefully, to calm an opponent potential.

This selfolegation behavior and the therapeutic capacity of snoring extend to the times of pain, illness or injury, where it serves as help in pain relief. It is known that females, for example, purify during childbirth.

The importance of snoring extends to the first moments of cat’s life, since kittens begin to purr shortly after birth. This helps the mother track their babies. Deaf and blind born, newborns also trust their mother’s snoring vibrations to help it, starting the union in those first days.
The benefits of the ronrona do not end there. The investigation suggests that the frequency of a cat can contain healing properties, potentially accelerating bone repair and injury recovery.
The cat’s slice is much more than a simple expression of satisfaction. It is a multifaceted tool and a therapeutic aspect of feline life, for service purposes that range from emotional to physical.

With many cats, the slice is audible. It may look like the soft buzz of the best engine, or it may sound like one that has long been tuning. Other cats can have such a quiet slice that he only knows his presence for the soft vibration.
From moments of satisfaction to times of anguish, from the first minutes of life to the last hours, the slice serves as a cat’s constant partner.

Cat’s videos have always been extraordinarily popular on YouTube, but more recently pet owners have captured a newer phenomenon: cats going crazy in cucumbers.
In these videos, cat owners sneak over their pets while they eat, placing a cucumber behind them.
Once the cats finish eating and turning around, they face the cucumber and react jumping and surround them to flee
But why exactly this behavior happens?
As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams
Confusing cucumbers with snakes?
As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams
Their survival instinct is afraid of everything, intermittent lights to noisy cat toys. Unknown objects that appear at random near them can start them.
While it may not be the cucumber itself that scares the cat, it is the general change in the environment that can evoke an scared reaction.
If something has been silently in the environment in its presence, the cat could easily confuse the cucumber with a predator who prepares to attack.
Pepinos are long and green, which can make cats think that a snake has dragged behind them.
He can be tempting to try to scare his feline friend with a cucumber based on the perceptibly fun reactions that he probably obtains, but in reality this could be relatively cruel to his cat.
To deceive his cat to think that a dangerous animal has sneaked behind him or she can cause traumatic stress, and do it repeatedly could even lead to more aggressive or other worrying behavior, or even result in the PTSD in some cases.
You will not want to hire a pet travel service to take your friend to a retirement
Cats can also be injured when they try to maneuver around cucumber, jumping to nearby counters or other objects that result in injuries, or can break close valuable items.
However, if you have completely lost your head and want your cat to become familiar with an inanimate cucumber as a partner for life, it is better if you present the cucumber directly instead of being placed behind them, since they probably never get along if the latter continues to happen.
Even if you simply want to present a cucumber as a surprise gift for a cat, which would be strange considering that there is nothing interest in them for a feline, it would do well to avoid awakening their stress and instead arouse their curiosity.
And although cucumber will finally never hurt the cat, the cat will probably have the same reaction again and again every time it presents itself as a surprise.
One way to see this differently is to imagine that someone is constantly dropping a false spider when you have Arachnophobia.
It would not be so fun, and although it is possible that you do not fall eventually, a cat will probably not learn that it is just a joke.
So, avoid doing your cat’s trick on your cat, since it does more damage than good
