    Thank you for caring for precious Zoom. I have heard that cats are very good at hiding their problems. It is a defense mechanism so that other animals won't prey on their weakness. She had hidden the fact that she had no teeth! Finally she chose to trust you to take care of her. I think you know the rare honor she has bestowed on you, for a semi-feral cat to trust her life to a human. She knew she needed help, and she knew that you would help her. Thank you.

      Dry food is no good for them. Cats who have a diet of dry food have numerous health issues from food allergies that lead to intestinal bowel disease and fatal pancreatitis, kidney disease, feline urinary syndrome and kidney stones, also fatal) and diabetes, all due to fillers such as grains and tapioca- bc what they NEED is ONLY muscle meat (chicken is best).
      While canned food isn’t perfect it is far superior to dry food. Supplement with poached chicken, no salt added. No animal should live on a diet of only processed foods.
      Just bc cats prefer it, doesn’t mean it’s good for them. Think about it! Little kids would prefer M&Ms, Fruit Loops or candy bars over a healthy diet including what humans need.

    I live in a small town in England, and every morning a stray cat comes to our house, we call him Marlon, he has some food and a fuss from us and off he goes. Then at about 11.30pm, another cat turns up, we call him Lobo, it took weeks for us to gain his trust, but now he's happy to come into our porch, and have some food. Our own cat 'Eddie' is okay with our two stray friends having something to eat everyday.

      Cats are carnivores. So feeding them and supporting their population (which is too high) unfortunately means supporting cruelty. Cats eat other animals who are kept on factory farms, which inflicts immense suffering.
      You might not like it and disagree, but that doesn't make it not true. It is true.
      Of course that doesn't mean that cats don't deserve to be unharmed. It just that nature is even more cruel than you think it is. It's so cruel that animals have to eat one another to survive.
      I just think we should try to dim down their booming population, bc their existence causes a lot of factory animal suffering, which isn't necessary.

    She left because she knew the other cats would attack her until she smelled normal again. Every time we take one of our cats to the vet we have to separate them for at least a day until they smell normal again. They don't recognize the vet smell on the cat so most cats will hiss at the minimum.

    I knew Zoom would stay. The garden is her home and you are her family, no matter how shy she is. Cats are sneaky sometimes. Most likely she didn't leave for those 2 days, she was right there. Sometimes we forget that cats can hide in the smallest, oddest places. Even indoor cats... When they don't want to be seen, they know exactly where to go. Especially with Zoom. 7 years is a long time. She has every little nook and secret hiding spot memorized

      It is expensive but it's worth the extra expense to feed them wet food. That dry stuff has no nutrients in it. It's full of ash and preservatives and artificial flavors. It's ultra processed, like if you ate a diet of just potato chips. It's made to be convenient for people not to be nourishing for cats. Also it makes them constipated and not have wet poop, which is harder to clean up, also for people convenience. I guess it's better than starving if they really can't feed the cats real food.

Witnessing her reconnect with her roommates was genuinely heartening. Your altruistic commitment is truly commendable.

    A German Shepherd, Doberman, and a cat appear before the king.
    The king greets the three and asks each what they believe in.
    First, he asks the German Shepherd who replies "I believe in discipline and loyalty to my master". King says " this is good, you can sit here at my right hand."
    Next he asks the Doberman what he believes in. The Doberman replies "I believe in love and protecting my master." King says "Wonderful, you can sit here at my left."
    Finally King asks the cat what he believes in and the cat replies "I believe you are in my seat".

      Stomatitis is something cats can get where their body rejects their teeth, as I understand it. Sometimes they have to have all or most of their teeth pulled. Then they feel much better and go on to lead healthy lives.

      Years ago, I had a cat that had a lot of teeth extracted. I felt a little guilty until years later, I went to a vet who mentioned how healthy her gums were. She, too, could eat dry or wet food, and in fact, she preferred dry food.

    Her gums must be used to chew the dry food without any teeth. Amazing that she was hiding the fact. The welcome committee around the carrier when you got home from the vet so sweet. They do love each other and are aware of who is who amongst the group. .

    Thank you for taking care of her. I lost my first cat a few years ago because I failed to realize he was sick and needed medical attention. By the time I took him into the vet they said it was too late and we let him ago. R.I.P. Bazz - You were my sweetheart, and I'm sorry I didn't take care of you when you needed me.

      You can’t blame yourself. Every vet will tell you that cats act totally fine until they can’t anymore. They are exceptionally good at hiding their illnesses. It sounds like sweet Bazz had a wonderfully loving home and you provided for her what you could 💙

    It was such a slow descent into illness for Zoom, she must have been feeling poorly with that infection, but then it gave you the opportunity pick her up and help her. 10 days at the vet - for a semi-feral cat! But she must have responded to feeling better and missed your really beautiful lush garden that serves food! It is impressive that she eats dry food with no teeth, though. Thank you for posting this!

      An orange male cat used to sneak onto the porch where I fed my two cats on my farm. Over some months, he was willing to come onto the porch to eat while I sat on the stairs, although I couldn't touch him. Then he got a barley grass seed in his eye. I borrowed a possum cage from the council and managed to catch him. While he was at the vet having his eye attended to, I had him neutered. Well, when I released him from the possum cage back at the farm, he took off like a rocket. I didn't know if I would ever see him again. But he was back within a week, eating with my two cats. Eventually, he became a house cat.

    As I lay here in my bed at a assisted living, this video made all my pain and worries. Melt away. Cats are the most wonderful creatures to watch. Over the time span of 43 years my wife and I had about 30 cats that were feral and some of them lived with us in the house and the rest chose to stay outside where she cared for them. Vet care and food cost us a fortune. Fortunately we could afford it. We had such a great life with all of them. One time she took one of them to a vet and came back with the cat and a German Shepherd. The shepherd learned that the cats at home were off limits. They got along very well. What a great life we had. Thanks for a great video

    I can totally understand the fear you had in taking her to the vets immediately. Wisdom in getting her special food and immune support that probably helped her trust you more knowing you were paying close attention to her. I imagine she felt she could take that step and trust you with her life which she did when she went into the closet that was her saying "I'm ready ❤" So glad she came back I was wondering if she was going to go to the front yard. But after seeing how she missed the Loud cat and kittens that was just so sweet!!❤ Thank you soo much for all you do God bless you sir!

      I am sorry for you that you feel compelled to rain on people's joy. How is that in any way relevant to this specific video about THESE cats? Yes, cats are predators. What effect do you imagine a comment like this has, except maybe making you feel superior and making others see you as a bore and killjoy? Do you make this comment under every cat video on UA-cam? If so, how miserable must you be? Do you comment on how much damage human beings do to almost to every location they have ever lived under every video that has people in it?
