    Rescue kitties still hiding from us - 2 weeks later.

    7 month Crimson and Clover update!! I can't thank you enough for all the encouragement and tips you've all shared with me. Crimson has discovered that all she has to do is approach us and we have lots of loving for her. Sometimes it's a pain if I'm trying to do something - like knit a baby...

    Rescue kitties still hiding from us - 2 weeks later.

    Meet Crimson! Clover is identical yet a bit smaller and still very skeptical of us. She does come out to romp and play with her sister as long as I don't make any sudden moves. They both love tuna as a treat and will eat off my hand. :). It's been a long 2 months but oh so worth it. Thanks...

    Week 3 and we're making slow very slow if any progress. Bringing the wet food in for them seems to bring them out and one has been cautiously curious about the cat toy (feather wand) I've been bringing with me. I spend an hour (before work) and at night just sitting on the bed playing candy...

    Rescue kitties still hiding from us - 2 weeks later.

    Thank you for your reassuring words. Question about feeding. We have kept dry food - same kind they had in the shelter - and water out all the time. In the morning when I change it (and clean the litter box) I've been taking in just half a can of wet food in a little dish and leaving it. They...

    Rescue kitties still hiding from us - 2 weeks later.

    We adopted 2 sister kitties (after my 17yr old sweetie pie crossed the rainbow bridge on New Years Day). According to vet records they are 16 months old. It appears they've spent the last 8 months in a crate at a cat rescue shelter. At the shelter they were friendly and curious when we reached...
