I'm so happy for you both! That is wonderful progress in such a short
time! Purrs that he soon reverts to total lap fungus. Even if he doesn't
hes safe in his own home. I'm sure he's starting to realise that.

I suspect he understood perfectly well that he now has a forever home when
you told him that and that's when he decided to trust you!

I am sobbing my heart out over a small hissy, spitty feral.

RILEY IS EATING BABY FOOD OFF MY FINGERS!!! We had a very sudden
massive breakthrough today. I told him how safe he was, and that I
didn't care if he wanted to stay feral because he was in his forever
home regardless of what he decided to do, and it didn't matter because
he was a special boy and I'd give him all the time he needed to feel
safe.

Instead of hissing and spitting at me and then cowering in his bed and
wetting himself when I fed him, he moved towards his food and had the
courage to eat in front of me. This evening, despite a bit of a
tantrum, he agreed to take some baby food off my fingers. Later on in
the evening, he actually made to move towards me in
expectation of yummy baby food!! He's now giving only token hisses in
between licking the food from my fingers, because after all, he's a
"mean and tough kitty cat" and he needs to tell me that, but we're
making great strides.

Oh, this is wonderful news! Watch, within a couple of months he's going to
be a lapcat!

That's really wonderful news! I can't say I'm surprised but it still makes
me happy.

I don't blame you! I'm getting misty just reading about it. This is just
wonderful. Purrs that he continues to learn to trust. Since he's pretty
much still a kitten, you have an advantage, and every right to be
optinistic.

Fantastic!!! Glad to hear that you've had a breakthrough!

I guess if he keeps hissing, that's only asserting that all
this is on *his* terms, not yours...

I love happy results...

Not to the same degree perhaps, but I felt a similar happiness
when Oreo decided to brave coming under my hand to get
her food. Now, she's a noisy little purry beast who loves
lap time, even if she's still very wary of anyone else
besides me.

Concatulations on the adoption of yet another owner...

Wonderful news about the little boy, Helen.
Didn't take him long to realize he was in his
forever home. We are so happy for you.
