    Socializing my feral Panda Bear - advice and encouragement?

    Hi all! Life with PB continues! So, he recently escaped while I was out. My boyfriend was devastated and very apologetic - he'd left the window open after shaking the bathmat out through it. I thought we were doomed, but he popped up at another window after a few hours and, once we opened it...

    Socializing my feral Panda Bear - advice and encouragement?

    I'm not home this month (my partner took the picture) but I'll be sure to post some once I'm back. They're really, really good friends. They wrestle, like, all night, taking turns lying on their backs and pouncing each other. Their relationship started out with Pangolin more or less pestering...

    This is a blurry picture. But it's a picture of PB playing with a catnip toy while Pangolin watches, bemused. And they lived happily ever after. Thanks for all your advice, guys. :)

    Socializing my feral Panda Bear - advice and encouragement?

    Yeah, it's definitely not in pain... I think it's anxiety since he does it when he's forced to leave his safe spots. He starts meowing before he uses it. He will also just do it randomly sometimes, as well as on his way to get food. I think it is an anxious self-reassurance thing, since he did...

    I think I've made this pretty clear already, but just in case I wasn't explicit: This grumpy buddy is officially a pet now. He's adjusting enough that turning him out for good is no longer an option! (Oh, another update: he is crying way less at night, hallelujah. Usually he only does it 2 or 3...

    Hi all! Just an update! PB is doing OK. We had been letting Pango and him hang out a lot, but I think this was actually starting to be a stressor. Pangolin is just a bit too playful sometimes and I could tell PB was sometimes moving extra slow and avoiding walking near him, so as not to deal...

    Yes, that's not a normal bowl they use! :) PB wasn't eating much so I put a random big bowl of kibbles by him to tempt him (it worked!). Of course Pangolin couldn't resist stealing some...

    Partner pet him with the brush today. Progress! Partner is getting into it, and has decided he likes PB. Apparently PB leaning into some chin brushes was all it took to win him over. My apartment is cat-proofed... for my civilized house-cat. I know PB would run like a hurricane across all the...

    Will do!  Partner isn't even at the pet-with-hand stage yet. He's still trying to touch him with the fuzzy stick, haha. PB will let him do it if he is hiding in his cage, i.e. if there is a barrier between them. Slow progress! Once PB graduates to the rest of the apartment, they'll see more of...

    Continuing to make progress! SLEEPING WITHOUT THE TARP!!! No peeing on the bed!!!  I added some Cat Attract litter in the boxes to be safe, but yeah, he is being good and not peeing on me. Phew! He also lets me pet him sometimes. I got in a good minute and a half while he ate today, and...
