Two-tone Tabitha

Tabitha's inside again this winter - she wasn't doing well outdoors. She's by no means a domesticated "pet" cat, but isn't a true feral either. She's somewhere in between there. She's adjusted fairly well & fairly rapidly. She is quite happy indoors during cold winter, but once it starts to warm up she will be quite insistent to be living outdoors again (once it's warmer she can go back to living outside in the enclosure).

So, here's two tone Tab.





She only has a few front fangs left, so has a sneery face



Gettin' some love on the bed



It's the "rub my tummy" trap!



Her back legs are longer than her front legs, I think she's part rabbit. Boy can she kick like one when she's pissed!




She's a very nice kitty, and for a 10-11 y/o who's lived on her own most of her life outdoors - she has "tamed down" nicely. She's still by no means as comfortable with people as most kitties, but we co-exist together - she crawls up in the bed with me at night. But now vacuuming - that is proving to be a problem as you can see from my carpets. I have the carrier bated with wet food so I can trap her & move her to another room. So far she's not taking the bait.

Can I say I feel your pain

she is pretty! What happened to her left ear? I know the right one is a spay notch.

Awww, what a little doll! Her coloring is so beautiful.

Oh my, she is so pretty.

Actually - none of them are spay notches (as are typically seen on TNR'ed cats). That is the damage done by frostbite. Up until last spring, I touched Tab maybe 2-4 times/year since she'd been fixed several years prior. She was very much so not a domesticated kitty. In fact, the only reason I caught her last spring was because she was sick (URI). I haven't ever released her since then, she's been in the house recovering, or outside in the enclosure.

aw poor baby! She is lucky to have you!

Tabitha is a beautiful girl. Good on you, Nat, for taking such good care of her.

She's a real cutie!

Look at that beautiful girl.......... ooooo I just love her

For the longest time I was reading that as TWO-TON Tabitha, though I really didn't think she looked like she weighed two tons! LOL. She really is a beautiful cat.

oh that sweet face if she had both ears i would simply assume she was a sweet DSH

She's got the most gorgeous face!

She's so pretty! I love her round face! Polly who lives with my mom is missing some teeth and has the sneer/Elvis lip thing going too.

Aww she's really lucky to have found you. I bet she's happy to be inside for the winter. No kitty should be stuck outside when its cold enough to get frostbite!
