I will add that she likes tomplay. She does it with me, the other cats, and by herself. She will eat off my hand and I always make her come to me for food and keep her dish close to me. I watched the videos a few weeks after I rescued them. I have done a lot of the things you are supposed to...

She has made a few improvements!! Your suggestions really helped a lot! I just let her alone for a while unless it was feeding or playing time. I have used the treats to lead to my lap and then lightly pet her. I totally bribe her by scritching her favorite spots!! Last night and today she let...

Romy is much worse now. She doesn't let me come near her and doesn't want me to pet her or pick her up at all. This isn't two steps back, it is one month back. I have no idea what I am doing. I am a total novice. And because of my fibro, I am very sick and in constant severe pain. The exertion...

I couldn't see how to edit my post. I mis-typed "fibromyalgia".

Good evening- I rescued some feral kittens about 6 wks ago from under a building's crawl space. The manager wanted to kill them. (This is the first time I have ever done this, and I didn't get much instruction from the group I am working with.) They are now estimated to be about 3 months old. I...
