Not exactly what I'd call "feral" anymore....

Tabitha in the middle of my bedroom floor - taken with zoom as she still gets nervous when I'm too close.... but still, hard to believe she's the same cat! I still get to pick her up & put her in the lap to pet her every single night, which I consider a small miracle.

(For the record, I moved a plastic bag in my bedroom & she's now in her "hidey hole" in the closet & not budging

)

She is a pretty girl. My feral boy Gus is 2 and he still startles easy.

Aww, stretched out in the middle of the floor like that looks at least a bit trusting to me! She is really beautiful, I love her colors!!

Keep up the great work!

That looks like a very happy,relaxed, beautiful girl!

She is proud to own you!

What a sweetie! Awww I loved reading about the snuggles too

I had a feral cat about 18 yrs ago - and he was TERRIFIED for about 2 years? then one day he just got over it and turned into the biggest cuddly baby.

At 9ish years old, & always lived outdoors/independant/feral, I don't expect much of her. This is more than I expected to ever see of her. She lived exclusively in my bedroom closet (complete with food/water/litter/kitty cubby-hole) for 6 months.

She's so sweet Nat. You know Jack's 3 but he was semi feral as a 6 week old kitten, and although he can relax and sprawl out with me, theres times when the simplest thing spooks him such as me moving my hand on the leather sofa which causes a noise, then he jumps up like a shot!

That girl is sweet-looking and so pretty! (I think she needs a few more toys....

) You've done a super job spoiling her. Kudos!

 

[kailie]

Her coloring is so stunning. Looks like she realizes how good she has it!

There's my snarly little girl! I knew it was going to be Tab.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing pictures like this Nat!

It's sad sometimes, how fearful they can be so easily. But at the same time, to be able to see her this relaxed - I never thought it'd happen. I wish Gumby would just relax more like Tab does.....she's so jittery anymore.

Just a few of "her" toys in the bedroom -



....and some of the other toys that rotate around to who gets to play with them





I think we're well stocked!

(PS - There's a kitty bed full of toys in the bedroom for her to pick from!)

Tabitha is very pretty. She looks pretty chill to me.
