Yeah, I’m really pleased with how this is going so far! She loves the cuddles and seems to get more and more cuddly every time I interact with her. It’s so sweet and I’m so glad she seems to trust me. The biggest hurdle is Bailey. Occasionally he’ll dart into the bathroom too quickly for me to...

I haven’t tried feeding it to her on a spoon yet. It took her a while to build up the courage to leave her hiding spot to eat off the plate. But the spoon is next! She has turned into a huge cuddler though. She purrs when I pet her and rubs my hand all over. I never thought this would happen...

She looks so much more relaxed these days. The Gerber baby food was definitely a hit!

Still not sure what happened but she seems to have recovered and is back to her normal self now. In other news, I moved on from petting her with a stick to using my hand, and she loves it! Leans right into my hand and closes her eyes. She seems to like scratches behind the ears best. She...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I will keep them separated for a while longer. Meanwhile we’re back to square one and I have no idea why. Something must have spooked her while I was at work, because this morning she was sitting mostly out in the open, slow blinking at me, and accepting pets in...

She was spayed a little under two weeks ago, and was in heat during her spay. Can it take that long for the hormones to calm down? It kind of looks like she's showing symptoms of still being in heat (yowling at night, rolling around on the floor whenever Bailey is nearby, sticking her rear end...

So I’ve been letting the two of them have supervised playtime and it’s going very well. She even head butted him and I heard purring from her for the first time. But as soon as I leave them alone for two seconds he mounts her. This happened at least twice so I had to separate them again. They’re...

Thanks everyone for the great advice! She doesn’t seem to like being petted with a stick yet, but she at least seems more comfortable in my presence. Yesterday Bailey darted into the bathroom while I was opening the door to check on her, so I let them meet each other. It went really well! No...

Thank you! I feel much better now. She seems to really like him :)

I adopted a feral cat a little over a week ago from the shelter. She had her spay surgery a week and a half ago, and her medical records say she was in heat during her spay. Today I introduced her to my other (neutered male) cat, and while he seemed mostly interested in playing with her, I...

That's great! I've moved with my cat a few times and luckily he's seemed more curious than afraid every time. I think having the same furniture with his scent on it helps.

My parents just went through something similar. When I was a teenager my family fostered 3 day-old kittens, and we ended up keeping all of them even though we had another cat and a dog in the house. They're 10 now and we just lost our sweet black kitty 99 (named after Agent 99 from Get Smart)...

Hi everyone! I just joined after adopting my second cat Juniper last week. She's about 2 and was feral before she got to the shelter so I'll probably be on here a lot asking for socialization advice. :) And this is Bailey! I've had him since he was a kitten (he's 3 now) and his love for...

Thanks! That looks great. Bailey and Juniper did get some direct eye contact yesterday as I was opening the door to go into Juniper’s bathroom. It wasn’t quite intentional on my part but no hissing or growling! I will definitely keep doing the scent swapping for a while though. Thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the great advice! She’s recovering well from her vet visit, and she’s totally healthy except for some parasites which they treated. The vet tech petted her during the exam and she didn’t seem to hate it so maybe that’s a good sign? I didn’t try to touch her, since I want to...

Thanks for the great advice! My other cat likes to destroy his toys so I have a couple of old wands I can repurpose into something like that. She has a vet appointment in an hour and I don’t think she’ll want anything to do with me when she gets home. But the next time I catch her out of her...

I adopted what I thought was a very shy and scared cat last week, but the shelter staff waited until I was halfway through the adoption paperwork to tell me she was semi-feral. Her medical records, though, just say feral. I know this shelter has a TNR program so I’m not sure why they adopted her...
