Bhakti update

Today she let me pet her for a very long time. The next-door neighbor is completely cool with the fact that we're feeding her. Now I have to figure out how to take her to a low-cost vet and what the next step after that will be.

Yes, I'm smitten. :-)

She was rubbing up against everything on the porch, grooming there, starting to relax a little. She seems to want to make this her home, though she's still skittish around the kids.

I hope we can make this work.

Hee! I guess rumors of feralness have been greatly exaggerated. I'm glad it's going well, and hope it goes very well indeed. :)

I've had three feral kitties.

They have been the biggest loves of all my cats.

This one in the icon is Smudge, who took a couple of months to tame, and then she gave birrth in our barn and nursed the kittens in my lap.

Yeah.

Feral.

Congratulations on your new family member!

I took in a stray kitten who lived in the alley with his sibs behind my chiropractor's office. Some of the neighbors were feeding the kittens, but did not want to take them in. So they were healthy, even though infested with fleas and worms. (Nutrition is good!)

I captured the friendliest one and took him home during a week when the temperatures were about to plunge below zero. I have never regretted it. Teacake is a super-loving, healthy companion.
