    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    So she snuck into my house last night and ate some food. Judging by how fast she ate, she didn’t find the food I left outside for her. I turned on the light to see what cat was eating and she bolted out. Unfortunately I had no way to close her in the house without her running out before I had a...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    I didn’t see her again all day but I’ve kept my door cracked open. Just as it was dark, my other two cats came inside through the cracked door and she followed them. I hoped she would go in the other room and eat so I could shut the door, but she saw me and stood there for just a minute before...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    Update: She is sticking around my house! This morning my older cat was outside crying very sadly as he has been doing ever since she disappeared. And then I thought I heard a small answering meow and she appeared from the bush! I watched her walk around and play with my two other cats, but she...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    Well… I made a terrible mistake and now the kitten is gone. I know people will judge me for being this stupid, but it happened and I can’t change it now. Things had been going well with the kitten and my other animals. She layed with my other cats and they groomed each other and she even likes...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    The sassy little kitten is feeling a lot more confident today! She spent most of the day in bed, close to where my other cats nap during the day. She intentionally separated herself so that she was on the other side of the mosquito net from them, but she definitely kept an eye on them. She is...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    Last night my other little kitten tried to play with her, but she hissed and clawed him whenever he got close. So instead he played with all of his toys in front of her for a couple of hours, before she went back under the wood pallet. At one point she crawled under my stool and I thought it...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    Today’s update: This morning when I woke up I heard the sound of lapping water in the other room. I turned on the light and my two boy cats and my dogs were all in bed, so I realized it had to be the new kitten. Soon after that I heard the sound of digging in the litter box, so I’ll take that to...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    Thank you, I will try to read more there (and sorry if I posted in the wrong place). I just read about slow blinking at cats and I tried it with her and she slow blinked back to me! We did it back and forth several times. I’m glad she came back inside but the way she bolted out the door in the...

    New kitten is acting semi-feral

    A bit of a long post, but I’d like to provide the background information. So… about 5 and a half weeks ago one of my cats disappeared a week after I was given a new kitten by my neighbors. Unsure if the kitten was related to him disappearing or not because from about day 3 onward he cuddled and...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    It’s been 16 days since my poor boy went missing today. I had another potential sighting reported today, in the opposite direction of the last one…. The problem is the sighting was close to the House I got Sky from, and his mom with very similar markings still lives there. So I think that most...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    I don’t have anything like that near me, but I have been looking online for traps. I think I can have one imported for a couple of hundred USD. I think I will do this if he is seen again in the same area and it feels more likely that he is hiding out there. There haven’t been any further...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    Looked again where Sky was supposedly seen early this morning, and unfortunately there was still no sign of him. I wish I had a live trap to take to the area, but I don’t know of any way to obtain one where I live. Hearing that he was potentially spotted gave me hope again but I’m disheartened...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    After an hour searching where the cat was seen, I sadly found no sign of any cat. I periodically called his name, shook his food dish, and I played a video clip of his brother crying. There were a lot of potential hiding spots on the farm but a couple of kids and I searched the best we could...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    Well a possible update… a friend who lives about a 15 minute walk from my house swears that she saw Sky yesterday stalking her chickens. While Sky never bothered the chickens at home, possibly being out by himself for almost two weeks has prompted him to hunt chickens. She said the cat didn’t...

    My cat has been gone for 11 days now and I miss him so much

    Good morning! Yes you are a bit above me, I’m in Central Zambia. It is nice to see a neighbor of sorts who knows the feelings of having cats around here. Unfortunately I still haven’t found him. We used to have routines too, especially with Sky. He would follow me to the river most mornings with...
