Hello All:
I brought into my home, what I believe is a 6-9 mnth old female kitty. Someone had been caring for her as her ear is tipped and she was clean. I believe the person who was feeding her moved, leaving her behind.
We noticed her hanging about our office garden door. Very friendly, very hungry. A couple times she almost walked into office.
It was no problem getting her into a carrier, to and from vet-clean bill of health!
I had her in a safe room for about 5 days. After which I let her free roam the apartment. She is cooperative with litter box, good appetite, not aggressive or destructive.
She USUALLY allows petting when she is eating her a.m. feed. Aside from that touching is NOT allowed. Though yesterday,she took treats from my hand and allowed vigorous rubbing and petting. Not so today.
The local cat rescue woman suggested I re confine her-which I have done since Friday. SO while I thought we had a break through yesterday, she was very skittish again today.
I can afford to be patient and know she may never be a lap cat. one BIG complication:
She has a weepy eye !!! How can I treat that if I can't touch her. I'm getting very nervous any advice appreciated
Am I doing right by confining her or am I stressing her more?
ANy ideas on how to treat that eye?
