Default My hard-core feral

It's the weirdest thing. If anything in its area is changed, takes
weeks getting used to it. It's the only cat that has not used their
skyway. The only exception is for getting up to and down from its
loft. There are two exit/entry directions it can go on the skyway,
left or right. It always goes one way. I once forced it to go the
other way when cleaning the area, but it was a traumatic experience.
That's not just because it's afraid of me. Recently, it has ventured
into the room I'm in and even not far from my chair. Strange that it
gets along with other cats more or less just fine. When I'm in bed
and it's free to roam, it never uses the skyway then, either.


Cats are very involved with smells. Does the catwalk you built smell
like new paint? Have the other cats marked it?


It's unpainted wood like you get fresh from a hardware store. The feral
is demented. Luckily it is comfortable with the other cats, otherwise it
would have no reason to live.
