Prego

YAY!!!! Congratulations on getting her in the door! She looks right at home.

OMG!!!! I am screaming right now! what a trip it must have been for you. scritches and rubs are next!

THAT'S AWESOME that she came into ur apt!!! I have tried several times with Callie and she still refuses to come in even when it's raining.

U gotta tell us more details- what did she do when she came in? Did she mostly sniff around or play with u more or what? How long did she stay in? Did she act jumpy?

More details pls!

lol! Well.. I shouldnt even start to let her in because I've stated before, there is no way I can actually "keep" a third cat here inside My landlord would kick me out if she even knew I was feeding her

Anyway.. I was crouched by the sliding door with the door open. As you can see from the first pics. I just shook the feather around a bit and led it into the house. At first she took one step in, bat the feather, then step out. Then two steps, bat the feather, then step out Finally she just chased it inside a few feet.. played for like 5 seconds, then out again. lol. She then was getting more comfortable and as I led the feather in she walked all the way in and started to sniff the cardboard box, and then the scratching tree. She would play for a few seconds then out again. She is very cautious, smart little girl, but it just excites me so much every time something new like this happens My god she was so close to me I just wanted to reach out and pet her but I didnt. *sigh* She did sniff my hand again, didnt back away as much as the last time she sniffed my hand, but like I said, she is still cautious.

Little angel

Way to go Sicy.


She sure does look at home there with you. And great progress you are doing with her.

What a cute . Hope Zoey and Saki didn't mind.

Zoey and Saki were not in the room. When Prego is at the window, Saki tries to play with her She also looks like she tries to play back. Zoey is not as receptive but is getting used to seeing her at the window and now just sits there and watches her.

That's great news!!
I swear she is such a beautiful kitty.
I know you have to dying to be able to love on her.
Heck,I want to love on her.

Prego hasnt been coming over for like 4 days now. She used to come everyday. So I was getting worried about her until my neighbor told me that she saw her this morning at the feral feeder we put next door.

I wonder why she hasnt come over.

There is no telling why sicy. Something could have frightened her away, she might have smelled another cat that passed through. As long as you know she is getting fed and cared for, that is all you can ask. She may just sense a change in the weather coming and has found a place that is secure but close to the food source and she is getting ready to hunker down for the winter.

When the weather turns really cold, I always add warm chicken broth to the dry food. It helps the cats to stay warm and over time, will build up a fatty layer to protect them from severe cold.

Thanks for the tip hissy. It is getting pretty cold here. Tonite she came to the patio but didnt care much for the dry food I put out. I was like well hmmffphh. lol. It was just nice to see her stop by the patio

Wow Sicy - I've followed Prego's whole story- what a STUNNING tortie snowshoe! You have definitely got a new addition on your hands - she trusts you and soon she will luuuurve you and if she's got that much siamese in her she'll be a real cuddlebumpkin!

My Mom and I tamed a stray who also started contact by playing with pompoms. We used to leave "trails " of cat crunchies that got closer and closer to us while we sat quietly reading. Eventually the trail would end up on my hand which was ever-so-casually resting palm up on the floor. it was not long after that she accepted food proffered on my hand and then stroking while feeding.

We found her a loving home and she now sleeps IN her owners' bed at night she is such a snuggler. The whole process took about a year and a half so you are REALLY winning!

Prego came over tonite and she was VERY much in the mood to play

She almost looks fat!! So glad she is healthy

OH Sicy , she looks absolutly gorgeous So healthy and happy .

She's positively stunning, Sicy -- you've done so well with her.

SHe's looking great!!!! Nice to see her again.

Thanks She kept rolling over exposing her belly when she was playing with the feather. She was only like a foot away from me. SO close but yet so far

Here she is on the patio chair



And I tried to give her a treat.. and I tried to touch her back and as soon as I touched her she jumped off the chair *sigh* I touched her though!!! lol.

You can tell on the last pic that Prego was ready to jumb off the chair .

Great pics Sicy , Prego is so beautiful

It's all progress, Sicy -- a teeny touch today, a longer one tomorrow -- she'll relax in her own time, and that seems to be getting nearer. Congratulations on good work. She's lovely.
