Pregnant feral cat update
Today she abandoned her hidey-hole and perched on the stub wall that
encloses the shower cabinet. She stayed there all day. I went in the bathroom several times and took some pictures, and she didn't budge. I got a better look at her when she was sitting in front of the nanny cam, and she looks pregnant alright. She is eating well.

Poor girl looks totally freaked, but then again, she is out in the open
which is pretty good. She will probably come to adore you in time. Thanks for the update. Karen "Charlie Wilkes" wrote in message ...

It's good that she's coming out of hiding. :) Does she growl at you, at all? -L. |

She surely looks like a true feral. If she comes to love you--and I bet she will--she might prove to be the sweetest cat you have ever had. |

Her anxiety eats at me too, because it is a form of acute suffering. I don't like doing it this way, and I'm not trying to make her into a pet. As you say, she is a true feral. I want to help her with some things she can't do for herself and then release her. If she decides to warm up to me, that will be a nice bonus. Charlie |

Charlie But Charlie, she is meant to be a pet. :) It is just by a nasty accident of fate and irresponsible humans that this pretty girl was on her own. No matter whether she warms up or not, whether you keep her or let her go after you have her spayed, she will be better off. One less-- actually many less, including her kittens--suffering cat in the world. Way to go. I want to see those kittens!!! |

She may become less freaked out after she has the babies and she's spayed. Many regular housepet pregnant and mother cats get really freaky, all the hormones in their system and the overwhelming urge to defend their kittens. It's really a good sign that she's out from the hidey-hole. When I first brought Antonio home (he's semi-feral), I didn't see him for a week, unless I went looking for him. Once she starts seeing you as the source of food, this will start her warming up to you. You may also try having a radio on a calm station in the bathroom a few hours a day, so she gets used to sounds and human voices. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |
