I am so excited to be posting these, I have no decent pictures of Fudge as if anyone read my other thread you will know Fudge has lived under our bed for the last 4 years, this past week she has started coming down a bit more and when people are around too, I took these this morning.She's such a nervous girl still but so, so beautiful.xx

Awww! I hope she keeps on coming out of her shell.
I'd love to see close-ups once she is comfortable with you taking them!

Thankyou, I may be able to get some one day, she has the most amazing furry feet, she needs a good brush but I think it will be a while before I can do that too, I have tried but she gets too distressed when you hold her.x

Maybe when she starts to get more confident you can entice her with the brush?
Add a string or a toy to its handle? Offer treats for approaching the brush and you?

Simba thinks his brush is a toy because I dart it about... so he comes running and then I brush him while he's circling around to figure out how to attack it.


When he lies down on his side I start brushing his belly, but he is super ticklish there and he starts kicking the brush away with his foot and tries to grab at it with his front paws... but I still get it done.

She used to love toys, she hasn't played since she lost her leg,I hope she does again one day, after this morning she has been upstairs all day, hoping she will come down again when the kids go to bed.x

Mhm! I hope she will remember how fun toys were and she can build up the confidence to know she can still play even with three legs!

Oh Miss Fudge, you're so gorgeous!! I'm so glad you have decided to grace your Meowmy with your pretty presence! It makes her heart so happy!

Ruthy, my heart is rejoicing with you. I know you're just beside yourself with happiness!

Do you know even though I miss Harvey terribly, it has put the guilt out of my mind a bit now of giving him up as there is no way on this Earth that Fudge would have made this progress if we still had him.x

All things happen for a reason as far as I'm concerned and it could very well be that he was just too hyper for Fudge's liking. Now that he's gone, she feels safe enough to venture out.

Yay Fudge!! She's such a pretty girl!! I always feel so bad for nervous kitties that just live under beds and such. They miss out on so much! I'm glad she is starting to come around though!
