Hi guys! It's been a while but I just wanted to share this photo of Alba! I tried to upload a video but it didn't work. Anyway, today I petted her for the first time, and she purred! :redheartpump::redheartpump: I'm so proud of her, she keeps making progress!

No we can't brush her yet. It was a while since I tried though, but when I did she backed up and looked scared. Might try again soon. Gypsy really seems to enjoy it! She is adorable! Thanks for your advice about our next trip and how to prepare Alba! She purred this morning as well while...

Yes, I think that's the case with Alba as well and exactly how she felt. If I think about it I would probably feel the same way if someone unfamiliar stayed in my home!😁 I will definitely consider another solution for our next trip, having someone come by twice a day sounds like a good idea...

That's really good advice! Thank you! I will definitely try to arrange that whoever takes care of her comes by a lot before. That is what we did in the foster home before we adopted Alba, can't believe I didn't think about that now..:rolleyes: My mom really wants to help and take care of Alba...

Hi! Both good and bad news, but mostly good! Alba had quite a stressful experience the other week when my boyfriend and I went to visit my parents for a couple of days. My boyfriend's mom stayed in our apartment when we were away to feed and take care of Alba. We gave her clear instructions...

Thanks for asking! We are doing fine! Alba is recovering well from the surgery, although she has been very anxious. She needed almost a week to get back to her normal self. No petting yet though, I haven't tried. I want to give her time to fully recover from her surgery and then we will pick up...

@dustydiamond1 Gypsy is adorable :loveeyes: she looks so happy and relaxed! I really hope Alba will get there one day too! As you say @Tobermory they all develop differently! And they all have their own personalities! I love to see Alba's real personality shine through more and more. She is...

I hope so! Thanks again for your encouraging and reassuring words! Means a lot to a first time cat owner like me :)

Hi! Just wanted to give a recap of yesterday’s vet visit: They had to extract all of Alba's remaining teeth! 😮 The vet said that some of her teeth already were extracted and that the remaining ones were in really bad shape. He said that she must have been in a lot of pain, since long before we...

Oh wow she is so gorgeous! They both are! Those green eyes :loveeyes: Aww poor thing! Her expression says it all . But you made a good job making her feel safe, she looks relaxed in her hideaway spot. Seeing this I think will prepare something similar for Alba! Thank you for the encouraging...

Thank you for preparing me for what it might be like when I bring Alba home after her next vet visit. I honestly haven’t thought about the fact that she might be in pain afterwards. I am such a rookie! I just thought that it will be as the last times when she has recovered quite quickly. But...

Thank you for asking! Alba is doing well. We still can’t touch her but she is rubbing against my legs almost every day now, usually before meal time :) And she started doing this new thing when she rubs the side of her mouth/her cheek against my hand in the morning, when I reach down to say...

She has not repeated the leg rubbing yet.. I guess it's normal to gradually learn and get used to new behaviours. Hope it wasn't a one time thing! Can't wait until she does it again!! As requested, here are some pictures :)

Oh she got soo much praise (and a little extra food as well ;)) My heart melted big time! :redheartpump::hearthrob: I feel so proud of her and the progress she is making

guess what just happened! Alba rubbed against my legs!! I was in the kitchen talking to her as I was preparing her breakfast. Felt a soft touch, looked down and there she was looking at me! and then she did it again and again more firmly. I almost couldn’t believe it! this is the first time she...
