hi everyone! just joined this forum to gather some wisdom we had been feeding a stray for about 7 weeks in our backyard and were able to trap her and bring her in before the east coast snow storm and bitter cold (yay!). While still outside, we had made great progress from her not coming within 10 feet of us, to her running to us with tail up, vocalizing, and allowing quite a lot of pets. We placed her in a spare bedroom 11 days ago and she has spent 100% of her time lying down in a closet or under the bed. When in the closet she will allow a brief head pet. She has been to vet, and was given Panacur for a giardia issue. Other than that has no diseases, ear mites, etc. She had already been TNR'd and has an ear tip. About 3 years old.
Anyway...last night we noticed that she was not lying on the folded blanket in her closet, but had rumpled it up and pushed it aside. When we took it out she had pooped on her blanket, which is why she didn't want to lay on it I suppose. Up until this point she had been using a littler box. Does anyone have experience with Panacur and how it can make cats feel? I'm hoping she soiled her bedding because it was urgent...she has not eaten her breakfast and is under the guest bed now. I know we should just leave her alone and let her set her own schedule, but I try to go in several times a day and sit on the floor where she can see me and read a book and talk quietly to her. This is the first time we've taken in a semi-feral (she's about 3 years old). Is it normal for a semi-feral to sit in one place for weeks?
