Thanks so much, Di and Bob! I will continue with letting them interact while keeping an eye to make sure it doesn’t escalate into a full fight. It is quite interesting to see this little queen take over her kingdom - lol! Thanks again for the reassurance that I’m on the right track.

Hello, I thought I’d post an update and see if anyone has any ideas. Little Bella fully recovered and since Easter we’ve allowed her to roam the house during the day. She is showing more confidence each week and has stopped hiding under rugs or beds. What I’m noticing is that her and Shadow seem...

Aww, Timmy sounds like such a sweetheart! I”m not sure if you’ve tried a cat camera but when I was really worried about leaving Shadow alone, we hooked up a small camera in the main family room and it has an option for me to be able to speak to him through an app on my phone. I call him a few...

So true - things seem to somehow work out with time. 😊 Bella is playing happily in her new safe room and feeling much better like her old playful self today. I’m sorry to hear you will be having surgery soon and I hope it goes well and that you have a quick recovery! Your kitties will be so...

Hi Kwik and thank you so much for the continued advice! I will plan to keep her in the new safe room and allow some gate time to see how she does and if she seems stressed I will close the door. I haven’t done any introductions to anyone new so it’ll probably be a bit stressful for her. This...

Thank you! 😊

Hi Kwik, we are seven days post surgery for Bella and it’s been a bit of a challenge but she’s healing well and glad it’s behind us. We unfortunately had to change her safe room as it was becoming too unsafe for her post surgery and she had dysphoria for several days. She’s now in an upstairs...

Thank you, Kwik for your sweet reply and continued support! I really appreciate it! I am very thrilled at the progress indeed! You are spot on about the cha cha cha. Bella is in the height of her heat cycle tonight so it has been a challenging evening as they were both very restless. Although...

Thank you, iPappy ❤️ she has definitely stolen our hearts!

Thank you, Kwik! I am happy to report that we’ve had some great progress the last two days!! Bella has come out into the kitchen the last two days for breakfast and dinner which is amazing and she is wanting to be out of the room more and more. She is showing a lot of happy kitten energy! I...

Thank you! It is wonderful to hear how comfortable and loving all of your cats are in your home. I am looking forward to that day when Bella can rest comfortably with us in the family room. 🤗 I appreciate the advice on the bathroom and we will plan to keep her in there until she gets through...

Hi Kwik! Thank you again for your continued help - I hate to keep bothering you, but really appreciate the guidance! I wish our saferoom was someplace better, too, and a bit quieter of an area. It's right by the entry to the garage so there are lots of noises with garage doors opening and foot...

Sorry I didn't see your response, earlier, Kwik, but wow, what an amazing career you've had in your life! It is definitely a challenge socializing a feral kitten, with ups and downs each week, and your guidance and experience is super helpful. I'm struggling a bit today and thought I'd write...

Thank you for all your guidance and support! It's been so helpful and has relieved a lot of my concerns! It's so nice to be able to talk to someone who has experience with semi-feral kittens and socializing them into a multi-pet household. Thank you sooo much! :)

Thank you, Kwik, Di & Bob! I greatly appreciate the advice and support! That is good to hear that this behavior is normal. My Bella sounds like your little girls too, as I am so surprised to see 5–6-pound Bella standing up to big Shadow (20-pounder big boy who is used to ruling the roost). I...

Thank you, Kwik! Shadow hasn't been in Bella's room much as she seems to bolt back there every time she goes exploring and hasn't been out very long for us to put Shadow in there, but I do think that would help. I think part of Bella's aggression comes from Shadow doing the stare-down thing when...

Thanks Kwik, that is really interesting, and your kitties are so cute! As an update, Bella is making some progress and is venturing out more at night to explore. Last night, she finally explored in-depth the family room where we all hang out. It was the last room left to explore. She was in...

Thank you, both so much for your advice and support! I will stop stressing so much about the eating at the same time and went ahead and fed both of them at their regular places this morning. They both ate much better and Bella was eager to come out this morning and do some more exploring and...

Hello everyone! I could use some advice for our rescued semi-feral - now 5-month-old kitten (5 pounds), Bella. She has been cleared by the vet for social interactions but won't be spayed until six months per vet's advice. We keep her in a safe room (larger bathroom) and she's been overall doing...
