I promised more news. Thrasher is spayed and is here with me! She was an abused kitty and is very feral as a result but I don’t want to put her back outside if there is any chance she can adapt and be happy indoors. I will do my best to teach her to trust again. She is eating and has allowed me a brief touch to her head. That’s a start! She is also talking to me when I am visiting with her in the room she is in now.
I am nursing my back like a good girl! However, I have new wounds. Cat scratched! Not from a feral but from my own kitty, Dali. He is elderly now and during the night he was laying on my head. I tried to move him and apparently I startled him. Poor kitty has had to deal with so many other kitties coming and going. Also sharing my attention far more than an old fellow should have to share so maybe I earned the wounds. I have been scratched hundreds of times by kitties but it seems the worst are inflicted by my own kitties when they are upset. I apologized to Dali and dressed the wounds with cream the doctor gave me in advance of my next cat wound. I am really hoping that it won’t get infected this time. Maybe I should wear me feral handling gloves at all times now! Lol I have been reminded to pay Dali more attention! My second oldest cat is taking good care of me. He is watching the injury for any signs of trouble. Good Mackie!
I got a new report on the ducks and the Thrasher kittens. All are well and the ducks got an A+ for being so sweet and amazingly adapted already! They all got bathed. Elfie is the only one who is showing how tough he can be. No bath for him yet! All are eating well and calming down. All great news.
I was too disabled today to do more than attend to all the cats needs. No new photos but I would like to share reminder photos of Elfie. The little elf that watched me and spoke to me from the woods. Perhaps as a house cat he will be the “Elf on the Shelf.”
I am so glad I got him. So cute!
