Yes, definitely keep at it, Suzi. Weeks and weeks went by where my feral wouldn't let me pet her with anything but feathers. Every time I tried to sneak in my hand she would bop my hand and I would back off for a day or so. Then one day, she didn't bop my hand. And now she even lets me pet her...

It's been a while, but I thought I would share my update on Moonshine, the little feral kitty I rescued and have been working to socialize. Three months after I rescued her (92 days to be exact) I was finally able to pet her with my bare hand without having to lure her with a feather toy (and...

It's hard to believe that it was 31 days ago today that I trapped Moonshine and gave her a safe place in my spare bedroom. We hit a little rough patch when she suffered from a very upset stomach at day 10, but now she is a very healthy kitty who loves to play! Sometimes I find it hard to believe...

Yep. Moved the bowl to three different places and each time she says "oh hey look - a new place to pee" I swear I believe she thinks water = pee. I read somewhere that feral cats tend to pee in water to mask the scent of their urine to elude predators. Maybe that's what she's doing? Old...

I have a new feral kitty I rescued 3 weeks ago and is living in a safe room in my home. She went through a slight stomach upset 2 weeks ago but is feeling much better - using the litter box every day and bowel movements appear healthy. She eats regularly and plays every day. However... In...

Anyone ever visited the site TheLuckyFew.org? Since I'm new to this forum, I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before, but this site contains what I feel has been the most helpful online article about cat taming I have found so far... mostly in that it has a warm and reassuring tone. I like...

Thanks, Feralvr. This morning, I saw her comfortable enough to clean herself in front of me, so I'm guessing she's just catloafing for comfort, as she still seems to be feeling ok otherwise. She's just the first cat I've ever had who does it all the time. My other kitties stretch out and roll...

I've been caring for a stray kitty in my home for 2 weeks now. She's been dealing with a little vomiting and diarrhea recently, but it is getting much better with a diet of chicken and rice my vet advised. I thought she was completely on the mend, but then she had a little diarrhea last night...

What a lucky kitty! Such a great ending to what could have been a tragic story. Fate put that kitty in your path today - literally!!

Wow, Draco, your Cassie looks very much like my Moonshine (the hand-bopper, pictured in my icon). Maybe it's just a thing white-mix kitties have in common? (jk - however it's a funny little coincidence none-the-less).
