well, well, well... we're friends

[smudgley]

48 hours after the terrified black cat got trapped & moved & was petrified & growling at me..... we've made friends. I thought she may be feral as she was so bad on Sat / Sun, but she can't be... I think she is just a very scared little girl... she made friends with me. :cool:

I went to see her this evening & she'd eaten all her food, so I fetched her some more & she was ok when I gave it to her & she started eating it whilst I was still there, so I very carefully approached her & she was ok..carried on feeding. I gently stroked her head all the time she was eating & she liked it. She didn't move far from her "nest" but what fantastic progress. She's very scared still & it will take a little more time before I can truly assess how tame she is, but at least she's much better than I thought. :cool: No hissing or growling.

Oh & the kittens are doing great.

Now isn't that odd I posted about 9.20ish post 14 Annie - Star Her eyes are kind though Smudgley....really nice eyes...hope all carries on going well like her den. I was going to write she does not look feral to me just petrified and with time but I didn't I tell you its in the eyes,you can see feral/wild as opossed to "petrified/scared"

Glad its going well.

That news has made my day, Smudgley! :D

[smudgley]

Made my day too Eileen.:cool:

She's not been badly treated Random, well I don't think so. :? I think it's just a case of lack of human contact.

I'm well chuffed. :-D

[dandysmom]

And you should be!!!

[Erin]

Thats fantastic news smudgley :-)

[dinahsmum]

That is good news!
Now it leaves you with a headache - if she's not feral can you just 'release' her? Does she need one of those farm/factory jobs, where she at least gets a bit of care and as much or as little human contact she needs?

No worries there.... she's going back to the people she came from. :cool: If she becomes friendly with them over time, great, if not she will still be in familiar territory & live her life as she did with shelter & warmth & good food! :cool: But she'll be neutered.

What excellent news Smudgley :D

[dinahsmum]

Great news - maybe she will be more trusting with her 'half-way owners' when she gets back minus her hormones.
