I"m new to the forums but wanted to introduce myself as well as the 3 stray cats I'm trying to tame and adopt. The calico I call Shaman, The ginger one I call Treasure and the black persian I call Shadow. Shaman is the bravest of all of them so far. She showed up almost a year ago when I fell and fractured my humerus and hung around a lot during my sad times. She's a permanent fixture in my back yard right now. She hangs around with Treasure a lot and Shadow is a like the tolerated 3rd wheel of the threesome.

Thank you. I bought some cat toys but they don't know what to do with them. I'll leave them outside though, hopefully they'll figure them out.

Hello and welcome to TCS. :wave2: Good luck with taming and getting Shaman, Treasure and Shadow to trust you. :petcat: All 3 are gorgeous cats. :catlove:

BTW, we have a Caring for Strays and Ferals fourm where you can also post a thread to get advice/support from some of the experienced feral/stray cat "parents" who may not check out this particular forum.

I'm checking that out. Just a moment ago I was outside breaking up and bagging limbs and twigs. Had the food outside about 3 feet from me and Shadow came to eat while I was breaking twigs. I made sure to not make any fast movements and watched her from the corner of my eye. I also run a private cam on them when I'm inside to see what they're doing. :)

Welcome to you and your beautiful clowder! SUCH lovely cats, and so lucky to have found you! DO spend some time in the Ferals and Strays forum, and be sure to post your adventures and experiences there! We have several folks who have been phenomenally successful with turning ferals into house cats.
