Trei is home, eating and doing fine. Last night I was reading in her chair and she jumped up and laid down next to me and went to sleep. And, of course, I'm keeping her. Thanks to you all for your advice and for just listening this past 6 weeks. It really did help to get my thoughts written...

I talked to my friend tonight and Sweet Pea has hardly eaten anything and is now hiding back in the corner by the bookcase I thought I had cut off. She said SP just looks terrified and can't believe she is so frightened of her after she was able to pet her for two weeks. She hadn't gotten home...

I know you guys are probably tired of my panicked freaking out about everything but here I go again. And I know it also has to do with the fact that I miss Sweet Pea so very much. SP didn't eat until last night and then not much. She's been “hiding” against the wall behind a bicycle tire every...

Sweet Pea is in her new home. I had expected her to yowl like she did going to the vet for the entire 20 minute drive there but she did not make a peep! I was afraid she had passed out or something! My friend went ahead of us and got the room ready with her chair, pillows, blankets, bowls...

My friend will be here in about an hour. I'm just a total mess. I've got to get myself together before I go in and start packing up things. Thanks for thinking about us today. It so helps to talk to people who understand how much you can love kitties and how doing the right thing for them...

LK probably thinks Ruby doesn't smell right. She smells like the vet's office and antiseptics and maybe other animals. When I take one of mine to the vet, the other two always hiss and keep away for a while when we come home. Definitely keep them apart tonight. By tomorrow the smells should...

We are moving Trei/Sweet Pea tomorrow. My friend has been coming over a few times a week and Trei still lets her pet her and starts purring but she won't come out from under the chair. For the last week my friend has gone in alone and takes her food in and sits with her but T/SP won't budge...

My friend came by today and we went through the routine of sitting on the floor with Trei under the chair, talking and occasionally reaching in to pet her. Then while my friend was petting her, she whispered "she's purring!". :D We were both so excited! It's going to be at least a week or...

Things went really well last night. Trei stayed in her chair when we went in the room. I started petting her and then my friend came up beside me and started petting her. A noise startled Trei and she jumped down and got under the chair. My friend and I set on the floor and talked and...

I so wish I could. But I can't let my heart overrule my head. I was willing to give her to a stranger in the beginning (before she put her claws in my heart :)). At least this way, I can visit her if that doesn't upset her. I sent my friend a link to "How to Help a New Cat Adjust to Your...

I've been obsessing about this for days. I think what really bothered me was that this morning my friend told me that she wasn't sure why Trei would need to be in a room by herself for at least a few days. I don't want to seem like a know-it-all but I did try to explain that Trei will need to...

I’m so torn now. Trei has adapted very well to being inside. And she’s gotten very attached to me. She lets me pick her up and kiss her. I was reading in “her” chair yesterday and she jumped up and curled up next to me. Of course, she has known me for 2 years so it’s not that surprising...

I've known my friend for about 12 years - we work together. I'm so happy she is willing to be patient with this. It went well the last two nights. We sat with Trei (who is going to be Sweet Pea) for about an hour each night. I have a papasan chair and the base is like a little jail cell...

It’s been over 2 weeks since I brought Trei in and I might have a friend who will give her a home. I say “might” because she is hesitant about it at this point. She adopted a stray a year ago who turned out to have FeLV and then developed other health issues and died within a few months. To...

I haven't heard back from anyone on taking Trei so I'm going with the plan of letting her be in and out. I let her out this morning and the first thing she did was go in the shelter again. I wonder if she is looking for June? I'm very anxious about her being out there which is crazy. This is...

She is so soft and sleek. The night before the attack I was actually petting Trei and June for a while, which I didn't usually do much because I didn't want all of us to get too attached and was still trying to fool myself that they were not "my" cats. I was thinking how soft they were and how...

That is on my mind but the dogs have not been seen (at least together) since that night. There is a pretty active community of us on Nextdoor and folks are very vigilant about lost and found animals. I'm certainly not making any excuses for the dogs but we have had below freezing temps almost...

There's a second small shelter next to the igloo. Sometimes one or the other would get in it but it's not very insulated. I may try to put that one on a larger storage box for a higher up perch for warmer weather.

I took her outside and the first thing she did (when she got her bearings) was to get in the shelter and sniff around. I sprayed it down with odor neutralizer a few days ago. I hope that's a good sign. Then she ate and sniffed around the porch. And then ran under the car. That is not...

I've been trying all week to find a home for Trei. Nothing yet, but I have one rescue person who still checking with her contacts. I'm going to let her outside this afternoon since it will be in the low 40s. I feel so bad that she is stuck in the room with nothing to do. She has been very...
