Great kitty progress
Greetings all:
Rosalie is my formerly feral cat who I got last March. She has made great progress in the time she has been with me and last night she took another giant step forward -- she jumped up on the ottoman my feet were propped up on. I have been trying to get her to jump up into my lap (she won't allow me to pick her up yet) and this was a big step toward that, I think. She usually lays on the floor next to my chair, but last night she was lying under the ottoman, and I kept encouraging her to come up, and then she put both paws up and peeked, and then jumped up! Oh, it may not sound like much, but I'm sure those of you who have had feral cats will understand. She settled into kitty loaf position and made blinky eyes at me for a while, then she had a good wash, then she curled up against my legs. This was a huge step for her and I now feel that she will definitely find herself in my lap one of these days! --Catherine & Rosalie the calicohead |

Isn't it the best feeling in the world to win the trust of an animal who wasn't raised with humans? -- -- ~kaeli~ Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

I've never had a feral but knowing how weird my non-feral cats are I can appreciate the progress. |

I love the way you put it, "blinky eyes" I can just see this. Hope she keeps warming up you are clearly winning her trust. |
