paranoid/abused feral female
Took a feral female cat from the alley about 15 months ago. She suffered from paranoia and/or abuse. The main progress is that she's less likely to freeze when I get close so she is more likely to move away. Sometimes my ultra-affectionate neutered male stray is very close to her on their Skyway, so I use the opportunity to show lots of affection to him with head scratches and stuff without looking at her, sometimes she is less than 1 foot away from my hand while doing so. Her mental problem(s) are like a solid that very slowly wears away, maybe never completely. But she can't get enough of other cats like the stray male. She likes to play with some cheap plastic balls with a bell inside, made by Hartz. The bell sounds about the same tone/frequency as a female red bird's chirp. Here is a picture of her on our carpeted 1x4s Skyway up near the ceiling. Notice how a feral cats eyes are bright white (just kidding, the flash did that). http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2821044358/ For what it's worth, here's another part of the Skyway. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2821044558/ -- The first big front wheel rollerblades. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2565924423/ Google Groups is destroying the USENET archive. |

paranoid/abused feral female
the furball is beautiful John I love the walkway I wish I cold do
something like that but we got ceiling fans and I know one will be a typical cat We had a feral like that what we always did was talk to her as we got anywhere close to her so she was not nervous that we came up on her. It took awhile and a lot of treats and love she finally came around and it was due to the other cats she saw how much they loved to be loved and got in on the deal "John Doe" wrote in message ...
