Hi all, It was going so well. We adopted a semi-feral cat about a year and a half ago and up until a couple of weeks ago it was going well. Although skittish and the fact she constantly hissed at us (we wondered if it was just a psychological reaction at this point). She came out for love and...

Sorry I've been away for a while, it's been pretty busy lately. So I guess some things have progressed, others haven't. We now let the cats have full access to the apartment at night or while we're at work (unless Tygra hasn't eaten her food because Daisy will not hesitate to claim it. In which...

She has continued to eat a little bit of canned food and her healthy treats. We've established that she doesn't like fish product and is hesitant for white meats, so we're wondering if red meats are her favourites like Daisy. That aside, my partner told me that she heard Tygra mowing this...

Yes, I think that is where I was trying to get at with my answer. I think we might have made the error of mistaking her lack of reaction and tolerance for her actually being so fearful she was literally scared stiff. I'm not sure, but it certainly seems like her behaviour is changing just a...

So, Tygra has eaten a bit of food. We took the advice and left her alone in her room for a long time and she seems to eat a little bit of food every night. Not much, but there's noticably less than when I put it down for her (i take pictures for before and after purposes) I also put a few...

Another report for the last day. It's been quite relieving, truth be told. Last night when I came home from work we tried introducing the cats again. This time Tygra was on the bottom shelf of our bookcase in her room. We played with Daisy until she saw Tygra and she went to investigate...

Hello again, So last night when I went to feed Tygra, I put her food bowl outside her box fort, and I put my hand in and under her nose for her to smell. She took a few sniffs and didn't react much, but eventually tucked in a little as though she was just a little uncomfortable. Better than...

Apologies, I'm not sure how to edit posts, and my previous one was posted prematurely. We also sampled the 'cat calming music' on Daisy. My partner, being the skeptic that she is wasn't sure, but sure enough Daisy went from an annoying mess into a fully formed cat-loaf on our coach next to my...

Well, we took the first steps forward. We opened the door to Tygra's room and sat down, taking Daisy's favourite toy with us (a long stick toy with feathers). We also took a bag of Daisy's favourite treats (freeze dried meat chunks). She followed us into the room and started sniffing around and...

I guess we could set up a camera. Would have to be our phones or something as we don't have anything else :') Yeah I'd like to let her explore again. I hate putting Daisy away because she loves running around (she's a little git :P ) but she'll be fine. So ultimately, at this point, do you...

We do have a long hallway, yes. Trouble is, Tygra doesn't seem to be active until the early hours of the morning, when we're asleep and it isn't feeding time. We've tried feeding them on either side of the door. Daisy can't wait to stuff her face, while Tygra's dish will remain untouched most...

And Barry is adorable! That hiding is pretty much what Tygra is like at the moment!

Thanks for the replies! We have been feeding her friskies (as much as we don't want to because the stuff in it is horrible), but that's what her previous owner fed her and she does eat it when she finds her food bowl. I guess we're just being a tad impatient, not what we want to rush. We knew...

Hi all, So, we caved in. We bought another cat. Daisy now has a big sister. A bit of back story: Her name is Tygra. She was a rescue cat that for three years had not had any interest in her at all. We saw her picture on a facebook posting and immediately fell in love with her. (We love calico...

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, been rather busy lately! So it turns out that all this time it was probably the herring oil and supplement powder that was turning her away from her food. We hadn't considered that putting that in every dish was giving it all the same flavour and she was...
