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. I posted a couple of new pix at: www.geocities.com/wallofgrays/catcam.htm Charlie |

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 ...

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 |

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 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. Charlie |
