All - this is nothing short of spectacular! Storm came to me, as a semi feral kitten. He had been box trained, but wasn't 100 percent social with humans. He was won't to meow behind the kitchen door at Carradoc Halls to get food - hidden in the shrubs. So someone perhaps had been taking care of him...
Then I got him into the carrier - and he escaped as I transported him to my house, during the icy storm. He spent 11 days in the sewers near my house sheltering from the storms and ice and cold...and at last I trapped him!!
In he came. In 2 days he was settled and coming out to me from under the bed. 3 wks later he had his neuter surgery. He was just about 4-6 months old!! That was last week. He had a worming 2 days after surgery and
at that time got sick. Refused to eat. i fed him babyfood with a syringe
and hot broth. He finally came round 2 days later and started devouring babyfood from my fingers, and also on his plate. But no wet cat food...
So we are now feeding him babyfood and wet, and transitioning him back to cat food, LOL! \\
Meantime, he has become social with my cats (nose touching a few hisses, no puffy tails or claws out) has chased and been chased (play I think, since he makes a murrrp noise when they do this) by the young cats...
He sleeps in the basement and stays there mostly, but comes up when I am around.
He LOOVES TV, esp the animal channel.. watches that like its pure entertainment...He purrs when I pick him up, allows my SO to play with him.
The only vestiges of his feraldom are that he is skittish round feet, and sudden movements or people standing up scare him...other than that he is a purrrrfect young cat awaiting a home where he can play and love and be petted (he loves laps and lap petting...)
So, all please send vibes to me and prayers for finding a good home (not mine!) Cupid the 7 year old I rescued is in line ahead of my grey guy, so if we can just find Cupid a home... (he's a lovely black n white maine coon style cat who just is as mellow as can be, except he wants to be top/only cat) and who gives purring loving sessions... as sweet as his name!!)
