I truly wish I could groom her but I still cannot even pet her, lol. One of my previous cats was also a Maine Coone and I kept her without knots and always trimmed my kitty’s nails myself. This is such a new territory for me and I will only be able to take her to a vet since she needs sedation.

Feeling a bit unsettled today with Cece. Woke up to her with feces stuck in her fur which is understandable with all the fur she has. She also has a belly ache and wouldn’t eat today. Now comes the hard part of finding a vet near my new home that will see her to groom her (not a lot of vets here...

Not a whole lot new going on with Cece. She does not want anything to do with the long handled brush so I have stopped that for now. She is leary of any hand movements so I sit with treats in my hand to show her it is ok. Mornings I get up early, after she eats she always comes out to the dining...

I so appreciate the ideas and reassurance. If Cece had grown up under normal circumstances she would be such a little cuddler, she loves to purr and stretch her paws while making biscuits in the air. She will even roll onto my feet and look up at me ☺️ She is so adorable, we cannot help but love...

Thank you for the suggestions, I will certainly try this! I do the tapping of the bowl as you had mentioned previously, once in a great while she will rub against my legs in the very early morning when it is still dark out. She gets lots of praise and treats when she does this. She actually...

Little bit of an update on Cece. In some ways she has made progress (comes out in the early morning meowing for attention). But now recently she is terrified if she sees any movement of my hands. If I even move them slightly she will run across the room and put herself low to the floor. Before...

I will definitely never give up on Cece. I absolutely love her and to see her so comfortable around me makes my heart happy ❤️

Not a whole lot that is new. Cece continues to be happy as long as I don’t try to touch her. She loves when I visit with her and will roll around and stretch out her paws, even rub up against my legs. She is content and that makes me happy. She loves her bath brush and will rub her face all over...

Hi there! Cece is still settling in at iur new place, lots of strange sounds and smells to get used to. She has definitely bonded more with me and will seek me out in the mornings for attention and reassurance. She will actually come out of her room and stand in the doorway calling to me lol. I...

Update on Cece and our move to our new apartment. Since I did not want to traumatize her when trying to catch her, I purchased a small dog crate, placed her cubby that she likes to hide in inside the dog crate. Moving day was Monday, she was hiding in there and simply went over and gently...

HUGE step for my Cece! Tonight I was in her room with her and talking and petting with her brush, gave her some treats and she ate them right next to me. Got her to bat around her feather toy. Adter about 45 mins I told her I was going in the other room and slowly walked to the door. She started...

She really is and when she is having a sweet day she gets so squinty eyed and looks at me with the cutest face!

Adding some more photos from this morning!

Lol, I will grab more photos today for you ☺️

That is awesome! I am lucky that I will be able to set up her room the same way it is now for her. I saved two blankets that she uses and will be bringing them to the new place tomorrow for her room so that her scent is in the room when we move in 2 weeks. The new place will be so much quieter...

I can’t thank you enough for the great suggestions, so much to still learn and I genuinely appreciate all feedback to help me and Cece along ☺️I will definitely try this grazing, Cece has only grazed my legs twice so far, very recently, she doesn’t normally eat when I am in the room however we...

Thank you for the kind words! I had not heard of the tapping method, what a great idea! Cece has only allowed me to touch her once, it was her move towards my hand. When I use the bath brush to pretend per her, I always say ‘Mommy pet you’ over and over. She absolutely loves the bath brush but...

Not much new, she sure takes her sweet time moving along 🤣. She will come out of her box a lot of the time when I go in the room and let me ‘pet’ her with her bath brush. I sneak my hand in there a few times when her back is turned but if she catches me I get a swat. She will roll around right...

Well, it has definitely been a minute since I last posted! So much progress with our Cece! She loves, I mean really loves bath brushes! I had been using a toothbrush on a pole to ‘pet’ her with then switched to a bath brush. Game changer! She is all into it. So, backup a bit, when July came and...

Hello there! We are making some slow progress! Cece loves my time in the room with her and rolls around purring, kneading her paws. She actually has a vet appointment tomorrow to be groomed because she has some pretty big knots. I have been holding off because it is still chilly here but I can’t...
