How do people control feral cats?
Check with your local animal shelter and / or animal rescue organizations for any Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs in your area. These programs humanely trap and spay/neuter cats, and then return them to their colonies. (The majority of adult ferals cannot be socialized and thus are not able to be adopted out to people). If you see kittens, try to catch them and bring them to your shelter; the kittens can usually be socialized and adopted out.
Why don't your cats get along with your cat that just got back from the vet?
You didn't say if your can was neutered or spayed. If it was this could be cause for them not getting along. Toms (not fixed) will actually beat up another male who is neutered. YOU ARE THE MASTER so start acting like it. I use a plastic fly swatter on a table or the floor and mean business! This breaks up any fighting, they know YOU mean business and things will settle down quickly. This works no matter what the problem is. I NEVER hit my pets, just the table or floor with that good old yellow fly swatter. It's magic!
What is a good way to catch a stray cat?
The longer a cat is wild, the more it's scared of people (usually). Put food out for the cats. They'll gain more and more trust with you if you feed it for a certain amount of time. Try to use a *humane* trigger cage (a cage that snaps shut after an animal enters the cage, no its not a mouse trap). Put food in the trigger cage, and when the cat goes in, it'll be locked in. Then do whatever you want with the cat (if your not going to keep it, take it to a NO-KILL HUMANE SOCIETY). Always be humane.

How can you tell how far along in pregnancy a cat is?
Week 3: Your pregnant cat's nipples will start to become enlarged and pinkish in color. Her belly will not show any signs of swelling at this point.
Week 4: Her belly will now start to show a slight swelling. The swelling of her nipples will start to be more evident. Her appetite will start to increase.
Week 5: Some cat experts recommend that you consult your vet for a "growth formula" to satisfy your pregnant cat's accelerated appetite.
Week 6: Your cat's pregnancy will become obvious at this point. Cat pregnancy symptoms will now include behavioral changes. The pregnant cat will now start to move around with more care. She'll avoid stretching and twisting actions, and if she usually goes outside, now she'll probably want to stay inside. Her appetite continues to increase through the sixth week.
Week 7: The greatest sign of cat pregnancy is now your cat's behavior. You should see a noticeable change in behavior as she starts to show some signs of excitement. This is also called the "quickening" stage of cat pregnancy as the fetuses start to move. She'll roll and stretch and start to search for a spot to give birth. This is another good reason to keep your pregnant cat inside so that she doesn't make a nest outside.
Day 61: Labor can start as early as 61 days after conception and as late as 70 days.
