Found two feral kittens outside my house

I found two feral kittens outside my house today and was able to successfully “kitnap” them, I’m planning to call my local humane society tomorrow morning to see if I can foster them through their program since I’ve fostered with them before.

The only thing is these kittens are VERY spicy. I’ve never dealt with feral/spicy kittens before and could really use some advice on socializing and handling them.

Right now if I get near them, they hiss, swat, and try to smack me. I was able to safely transfer them into a playpen, and they’re currently set up with food, water, and a safe place to hide.

Are they still young enough to be socialized? Any tips for helping them trust humans, handling them safely, or making the process less stressful for them?

I also want to trap mom next so I can get her spayed.

Any guidance would be really appreciated!

Is it normal for eyebrow whiskers not to grow back after enucleation?

My kitten had a double enucleation at the end of January and has adapted really well, but his eyebrow whiskers still haven’t grown back at all. It’s been months now.

Has anyone experienced this? Can the follicles be damaged during surgery, or do they sometimes just take a really long time to regrow?

Hi all,

I’ve never been camping before, but I love hiking, road trips, and being out in nature. It feels like camping is the next step for me.

My fiancé and I are thinking about doing our first camping trip at Big Bend in a few weeks (late May or early June). We’re planning to stay just one night since we want to try it first and then hopefully do longer trips in the future.

I had a few questions for those with experience there:

- Any advice for first-time campers at Big Bend?
- Best campground recommendations?
- Favorite hikes or must-see spots?
- Any tips for enjoying the dark sky / stargazing? That’s probably what I’m most excited for.

Also, since we don’t own camping gear yet, I’ll be buying everything from scratch. I’d rather spend a little more upfront on quality gear that will last a few years instead of buying twice. Any recommendations for:

- Tent / sleeping setup for two people
- General beginner essentials
- Coffee setup for camp (I’m a big coffee drinker, so this is important 😂)

Lastly, I’m also into biking and we have two mountain bikes. Is Big Bend good for biking, and if so, any trail recommendations?

Thanks in advance! Really excited (and a little nervous) for our first camping trip.

Edit: I live about 5 hours from Big Bend, which is why I’m considering it for a first camping trip. It seems close enough for a one-night trial run while still feeling like a real adventure.
