    Advice for socializing

    Thanks so much, Di and Bob! I will continue with letting them interact while keeping an eye to make sure it doesn’t escalate into a full fight. It is quite interesting to see this little queen take over her kingdom - lol! Thanks again for the reassurance that I’m on the right track.

    Advice for socializing

    Hello, I thought I’d post an update and see if anyone has any ideas. Little Bella fully recovered and since Easter we’ve allowed her to roam the house during the day. She is showing more confidence each week and has stopped hiding under rugs or beds. What I’m noticing is that her and Shadow seem...

    Advice for socializing

    Aww, Timmy sounds like such a sweetheart! I”m not sure if you’ve tried a cat camera but when I was really worried about leaving Shadow alone, we hooked up a small camera in the main family room and it has an option for me to be able to speak to him through an app on my phone. I call him a few...

    Advice for socializing

    So true - things seem to somehow work out with time. 😊 Bella is playing happily in her new safe room and feeling much better like her old playful self today. I’m sorry to hear you will be having surgery soon and I hope it goes well and that you have a quick recovery! Your kitties will be so...

    Advice for socializing

    Hi Kwik and thank you so much for the continued advice! I will plan to keep her in the new safe room and allow some gate time to see how she does and if she seems stressed I will close the door. I haven’t done any introductions to anyone new so it’ll probably be a bit stressful for her. This...

    Advice for socializing

    Hi Kwik, we are seven days post surgery for Bella and it’s been a bit of a challenge but she’s healing well and glad it’s behind us. We unfortunately had to change her safe room as it was becoming too unsafe for her post surgery and she had dysphoria for several days. She’s now in an upstairs...

    Thank you, Kwik for your sweet reply and continued support! I really appreciate it! I am very thrilled at the progress indeed! You are spot on about the cha cha cha.

    Thank you, Kwik! I am happy to report that we’ve had some great progress the last two days!! Bella has come out into the kitchen the last two days for breakfast and dinner which is amazing and she is wanting to be out of the room more and more. She is showing a lot of happy kitten energy! I...

    Thank you! It is wonderful to hear how comfortable and loving all of your cats are in your home. I am looking forward to that day when Bella can rest comfortably with us in the family room. 🤗 I appreciate the advice on the bathroom and we will plan to keep her in there until she gets through...

    Advice for socializing

    Hi Kwik! Thank you again for your continued help - I hate to keep bothering you, but really appreciate the guidance! I wish our saferoom was someplace better, too, and a bit quieter of an area. It's right by the entry to the garage so there are lots of noises with garage doors opening and foot...

    Advice for socializing

    Sorry I didn't see your response, earlier, Kwik, but wow, what an amazing career you've had in your life! It is definitely a challenge socializing a feral kitten, with ups and downs each week, and your guidance and experience is super helpful. I'm struggling a bit today and thought I'd write...

    Advice for socializing

    Thank you for all your guidance and support! It's been so helpful and has relieved a lot of my concerns! It's so nice to be able to talk to someone who has experience with semi-feral kittens and socializing them into a multi-pet household. Thank you sooo much! :)

    Advice for socializing

    Thank you, Kwik, Di & Bob! I greatly appreciate the advice and support! That is good to hear that this behavior is normal. My Bella sounds like your little girls too, as I am so surprised to see 5–6-pound Bella standing up to big Shadow (20-pounder big boy who is used to ruling the roost). I...
