I have a feral who came with this house when i moved in 8 years ago. She had 2 sibs at the time. Eventually the other two disappeared. Not sure why. Coyotes? Illness? They used to clean each other, sleep together, and so on.
Now this last one is a "tweener", she will purr or speak a bit but otherwise shy to touch. But she seems clearly disoriented after losing her last sibling about three months ago. She stares inside our house, and recently wants to brush up against my legs. I do talk to her, and she purrs and kneads when she eats, when I do this. I just cannot be doing this all day!
I am allergic to bugs, but I have let her rub against me, wearing pants, and then cleaned off my pants with tape. I feel for her, and know that she will be cold this winter. Also she just looks so lonely.
I plan on making a nest for her as her sibs won't keep her warm anymore. But I have no idea how to cheer her up and it is just sad how she stares and mopes. I wish there were something I could do for her but I have no ideas.
She does wander off for a bit and then return during the day. But she wants to be fed (we bring in the food as to not invite other wildlife to eat it). Basically, I think she is neurotic, OCD, or something, I can't fault her, I just wish I could be more help.
Any ideas? Thanks.
