I have been feeling very sorry for you and Koko and wondered whether you had read Elaine's experience with Reiki therapy and her cat Eva? I am sure farthing's advice is good - she has all the experience with dealing with cats that are stressed because of what they have had to go through poor loves - but it seems from what you have described that there really is no reason that your Koko should seem so scared. Just wondered if you have a Reiki therapist anywhere near you who understands cats? |

Oh and I think Koko's problem stems from the fact that she was never truly socialised as a kitten. She is shy and if she hung back in to room full (4) of boistrous kittens she simply never got truly cuddled. |

There was also a follow up thread started by Elaine - http://www.catsey.com/showthread.php?t=31555 in which you will see that a very new member on this forum pixiekittie is a Reiki therapist herself. |

I too have been following Koko's story. I think all the advice you are being given is sound and you are doing nothing wrong. I have had a couple of feral/unsocialised kittens and she sounds as if she is behaving the same way. Eventually all could be handled and I am sure that Koko will get there. Please keep us posted on how she is doing. Big (((hugs))) to you both. |

When I first got my Beloved little Charkie he was a ferile kitten of the local farm, to catch him the farmer had to bait him out with some food and catch him in a box, when I got home I was expecting a sweet cuddly little kitten, but as we opened the box he shot straight out like a rocket, banged into the french doors then wedged himself behind a big book cupboard, he stayed there while me and OH emptied the cupboard, then while my OH pulled it forward I got a tea towel to wrap him in as he was hissing and spitting at us he was totaly wild. To calm him down I kept him wrapped in the towel so that he couldn`t scrach me or get away then I sat down with him on my knee and just talked to him and stoked him still keeping him tight in the towel, he eventually fell asleep on me and I was able to let the towel relax and he stayed there on me for what must have been hours. The next day he was still hiding but not as scared and I did the same again with the towel, and did this every day a couple of times a day for at least a week and he turned into the biggest softiest cat that you could wish for, people that came round could not believe that he had once been a ferile kitten, the bond between us was increbile and I still miss him madly. So all I can say is just keep going and doing what you feel is best it is worth it in the end. |
