I had a similar issue with my cats. They both loved playing in the crack between the door and the floor - even without toys they just loved sticking their paws in there, inevitably leading to the door closing... And then of course immediately wanting to be let out   

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding a semi feral cat that has been with us for a few months. He has made great progress, from refusing to come out when we were in the same room he is now happy to hang out with us, and even follows us around the apartment. I can now scratch his...

Hi everyone!  I am currently sitting on the couch, and my semi-feral foster cat Mandu is sleeping with his head on my feet! When he first came just seeing him out of his hiding place was a big deal, so this is just making me feel elated and I felt like I just had to share. We still can't pet...

Great to hear your updates! Keep up the good work.  I don't have much advice to offer on the aggressiveness though. Once I fostered two cats who were supposedly buddies in the home they came from, but started being aggressive to each other when they came to my house. One day they were taken...

Haha, they look adorable!!! Tom looks particularly satisfied :) Fantastic that they finally "accepted" you, and I can't believe you actually caught it on camera! Those small moments really do start to mean so much, especially when you've been at it for a while!    interesting note about the...

Thanks for the reply, I will try that. Despite him getting more comfortable, I have never seen him rub up against anything - is that normal? He does lay on his back and squirm around and claw the carpet for example so I guess he's still leaving his scent. Is it that he isn't comfortable enough...

Hello again! Here comes a quick update (with pictures!) if anyone is interested. Things are progressing, albeit slowly. It has been days, if not a full week, since I've seen Mandu has been inside his normal hiding place (excluding the time I was vacuuming). Mandu has kept coming to sniff our...

Thank you for your reply! He IS a big, big boy, which is also why I can't help but feel a little scared of him sometimes when he gets really close while eating and then suddenly looks up (the chair is an Ikea "Poäng" chair, if that gives you any size reference). Apart from that he's adorable of...

Thanks for the replies and tips! Yes, I didn't mention it, but he does often stretch and yawn when he is sitting near our feet on the floor, great to hear that this is a good sign! I didn't mention it, but he also looks at us with squinty eyes and yawns/blinks quite a lot as well, and we do the...

I think my main issue is that quite frankly I am a little scared of him. He is bigger than the other cats I've had, and I am a little afraid to push his boundaries for fear of him suddenly biting or scratching me. Don't get me wrong, he really is a wonderful cat, and a lot of fun to watch. He is...

Hi! This seems like a great forum! This could be long, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. I am a foster home for cats (I take care of cats caught by local organization that works with trapping/spaying/rehabilitating feral and abandoned cats and house them until they can find proper homes)...
