but tilly my little white and black feral kitty (who is in LOVE with Moo) has finally decided I am safe to snuggle with and she is no longer as afraid of everything and comes out during the day now instead of hiding in the closet until dinner time.
She has been jumping on the bed (for awhile I was afraid she couldn't jump she can just short distances) and been purring and wants lots of head scratches and rolls on her belly for rubs and has been purring up a storm.
Just now she jumped up an joined me on the couch and is now curled up on the couch next to moo. So now instead of just one kitty following me around the house I have TWO kitties following me around!
She is turning into quite a love bug which is surprising since 6 months ago i couldn't go near her without her cowering and running away. now she lets me come up and pick her up and she is acting like moo and those too have been running and playing all day. Its nice to have both kitties chilling out in the room with me. She likes to sit on my piano.
Of course I have been trying gradually over the years to get her to trust me. But for every step forward we had like 20 steps back because once she started to trust me...I had to take her to the vet (this happened alot because of her thryoid problem) but now that it is under control she goes once a year with moo.
I just wanted to share with my cat friends that my little scared feral kitty is warming up into a warm mushy lap cat!!!
Now any suggestions on how to get her to stop being afraid of my husband?
