Hard-core feral softening up after 10 years

Lastly, keep in mind that the Average American: Does not have a college education, including an Associate Degree (60%). Does not have a passport (64%). Speaks one language – badly (74%). Has never traveled voluntarily more than 200 miles from his/her birthplace (57%). Has never visited a foreign country, not even Mexico or Canada (71%). Cannot name the Speaker of the House, even today (82%) Cannot name the three branches of government (64%) Cannot read at a college level (83%) Cannot read for content (54%). 60% of American Households do not buy any book in a year. Does not believe in Evolution (42% creationism, 32% evolution, 26% no opinion). Only 71.2% of eligible voters are registered. Only 57.9% of registered voters voted in 2012. Meaning that the average American eligible to vote does not vote (only 41.5% net). Not much changed in early statistics for 2016, although the change was to greater participation (48%). The Average American still does not vote. So happy that I am not "average". Masters degree (Political Science) Doctorate degree (Political/Social Science Education) Published Two passports, and I have traveled the world Vote in every election Live immediately next to the Pacific Ocean. Have two cats, and I love them. |

Hard-core feral softening up after 10 years
This troll is referring to a political post I made in some
other thread. Now it is running off to play with its imaginary kill file friend. Kill file friends come and go, like imaginary playmates.

Excellent, thank you for both an on-topic article /and/ another cat picture for the Internet! Thanks. Apparently this group is fading as many other USENET groups have over the last decade or so. But as long as I have cats, I will post about them. Even if it were apparently nothing more than a blog. This is a place to post about our experiences with cats, especially to do with behavior, of course. When a USENET group fades, seems there is more frustration and anger than usual. |

Hard-core feral softening up after 10 years
Now she comes to my computer chair freely even when other
cats are not around, for lots of scratching. She is also freer when I am walking around, she will move away in fits instead of completely running away. But she still will not come to me when out of my computer chair. I expect it will continue to change slowly. -- I wrote: Never say never. After 10 long years, my hard-core feral appears to be softening up to me. Early on, I began singing (badly) to her because it visibly relaxed her. Over the last month or so, she has started coming around me while I am in my computer chair. I can usually gently grab her tail as she goes by, but even slight petting has occurred. Amazing. After living with the feral animal for 10 years. Of course I could be wrong, about a month or two more should tell. Something weird... Not sure if I read it in this group or on the Internet somewhere, but... Someone wrote about their cat's fur being matted, and I think they said it fell off in clumps and their cat's disposition changed for the better. That fur thing happened here recently to the hard-core feral. There were maybe three or four clumps total that fell off of her. I was afraid she had some serious problem, but the fur is growing back. It was matted hard, clumped. And her mood change corresponds to that. But after 10 years? LOL Of course I could never tell much of what was going on with her since I could not even get close, let alone touch. Whatever the cause. Yea. |
