I've two semi-ferals who live in my garden (and the surrounding fields) - various posts on them elsewhere in this forum. I've had them for a year - they are lovely little things. One, Squeaky, my c. 18 month old b/w girl, is a picture of health and is getting ever friendlier - boy, does she...

Another update.Things have developed for the better at quite a pace. When I last wrote, about 6 weeks ago, my concern was over how I was only ever really seeing the girls at sunset, when they 'came out of hiding' for their meals.We're now at the stage where:Bubble - is out and about a lot, both...

Hi all - been a long time since I was here. Hope all are well. To reappraise: - I've two neuetered girl ferals: Bubble (black, about 2 now) and Squeak (b/w, about 1 now) - got them in September of last year when I was living on a farm. Within a few weeks, both girls happy as could be. Bubbs out...

Day 31 - and I need some advice. Bubble and squeak, my two semi-ferals, are continuing to acclimatise to their new home - they are in the lovely big shed at the back of the garden and have everything a feral could want (except freedom!) Squeak is doing very well on the whole: even if she doesn't...

Time for another progress report. My (semi?) feral girls, Bubble & Squeak are now almost 3 weeks into their new home. ..and it's good news. I have started seeing happy tails at mealtimes! Squeaky continues to be the most consistent of the two in her behaviour, while Bubbsy is much more erratic...

Quick update... Slow but steady progress and plenty of good, solid poos (have also taken the chance to get some worming tablets in them while they are 'cooped up'). They also seem to be very rambunctious of an evening: toys everywhere come the morning! Bubble: has come out of her box a couple...

thanks for the feedback. Appreciate IOU piccies (or a video) of the girls - will do soon, just need a quick tech crach course. anyway, things are getting a little better. They've started eating well and I've seen them both; Squeaky, perched on her box through the door last night (thru the night...

Hello all..a belated happy new year and my apologies for the tardy response. Moving house is terribly time-consuming. Latest news is that we have finally completed the move. One of the final things I did was move Bubble (black, about 18 months; on the feral scale I'd say 30%) and Squeak (b/w...

Hi all - Laurie, that's a lovely update, great to hear about your set-up and various kitties. I can recognise my two in there; squeaky is most like babygirl, bubble is most like peanutbutter, as she does talk to me sometimes! Must cost you a fortune but I guess it's worth it - I find looking...

11 active ferals and six feeding stations? Wow, that is a huge amount of work. Are they all on your property? How many take petting? I want a roll call! B&S still fine - they make me laugh loads. When I prepare their food, I do it by perching my bowls on an old bit ofyfarm machiner about 10-15...

Thanks for the kind words, guys. 6 weeks in, the girls are doing fantastically. Bubble is gorgeous and I think I'll be petting her soon. She is taking treats from my hand (you know the stick-type ones) and starting to follow me around when I'm getting ready to feed: for example, she was up near...

Hi All....3 and a half weeks into 'freedom' and good news on all fronts: * both girls come for their supper about 30 minutes ish before sundown. Even Squeak! They both let me stand no more than 2-3 feet from them while they tuck in. The power of tasty wet food, eh? The rickety old barn where...

Hello All....just over two weeks into their 'freedom', thought I'd update on progress. Squeak - still basically nocturnal, but, most importantly, still around. Have only seen her once in daylight (about 4-5 days ago, in the lean-to, sunning herself in very much the same way as Little Cow used...

All still good here. I wouldn't say they come running when I shout 'dinner' - so I'll take the scraps advice on board. A slight change of tack now means that, rather than feeding them in the 'cage barn', I now plop their food down in the barn they have made their home. This is nice as the barn...

thanks, guys. And lovely news re. Willow. Latest from here is that both girls seem fine in their own ways! Almost a week in, Bubble seems to be the 'sociable' one and has been seen a-plenty (and doesn't seem to mind being seen - which seems rather unferal-like). Today she sat on some straw...
