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.

Oh, man! That wide-eyed feral look. She's doing well to be out in the
open like that, though.

Poor little owl-eyed girl! It's good that she's coming out of hiding.
Does she growl at you, at all?

Poor baby! She looks scared. We are purring that she soon learns to trust
you and that she can have her babies peacefully. MLB

She really looks like she just knows that Charlie is going to kill and
eat her.

Charlie, that terror-stricken look on her face just
tears at my heart. 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.

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!!!

I'm dying to see them too. She is unafraid of the nannycam and in
fact seems to be quite interested in it. I may be able to set it up
to watch the litter. But when will it be born??? Cats have a
gestation period of less than 2 months, right?

I think she grew up wild and likes her freedom. This is rural western
Washington, an easy climate. If she sticks around, I will feed her
and provide for her needs, but not interfere further unless necessary.
If she decides to approach me, fine, but I will also be happy to
relate to her from a distance. I'm a recluse myself.
