    Update on Lexi

    Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but I thought I'd wait for a little progress first. To remind you, Lexi is my little 6 yr. old potato that I trapped and brought home back in December. Things were rough back then and progress was little, if any. But now to catch you...

    How & when do you decide- house feral or keep trying to tame/socialize?

    Hi all, It's me again writing about my Lexi. Having had her in my office since December 16th of 2005, I debate whether to accept her as she is and incorporate her with my other 2, or keep trying to socialize her. As she is now, she rubs constantly against the screen door and nearby furniture...

    Mistaking my hand for a toy?

    Hi all, Well Lexi is doing really well; playing up a storm with all of her toys, and especially her wand toys. I was sitting on the floor the other day pretending to play with one of her mice - fingers closed and cupped and pushing it around (I had done this a lot a month or so ago when she...

    Very Confused, but smiling!

    Hopefully you all will remember my previous posts about my first feral Lexi. Well, last thing I did a little over a month ago was to install a screen door for her room so that she would become acquainted with my 2 other kitties. Lexi, with the exception of a 1 time hiss, wanted nothing to do...

    Too Much Too Soon For My Feral?

    Hi, Anyone who's read my previous post knows that I've had my feral cat "Lexi" for a couple of months now in my office. I've read that I should spend as much time as possible with her, to the point of her regarding me as a fixture, and I have. My problem is that I'm starting to go a little...

    Opinions appreciated re: stray or feral?

    Hi all, I'm new to this board and would certainly appreciate opinions. A couple months ago I trapped a cat that I had been feeding at my workplace for 6 months or so. While she was there, the closest she would come would be within 5 ft. of me. On 2 occasions, I still had my hand on her food...
