I just found the edit button🙌🙌

Yes, things are progressing beautifully thanks in large part to the support I found here💕😻! It’s 2am and the babies are finally sleeping…yayyyy, lol! And thank you for the info regarding the edit button🙃

**excuse the grammatical errors🫣! I wish there was an edit option 😕

Hi! Thank you for checking in!! The cats now have access to the entire room and they are loving it! I watch through the camera the babies running like little maniacs in circles around the Catio and all throughout the room chasing each other, playing with the toys, jumping up and down from the...

Ahhh, so creative, thank you for sharing!! This is such a wonderful group, can’t thank you all enough for the ideas! Babycakes is finally making more of an appearance when I enter the room. She hisses at me but will come out and eat in my presence. She’ll then retreat back in the cubby but...

Another great idea, thank you!!

Wow, brilliant idea! I’ll be looking into vinyl lattice “doors” when the time comes. And those adorable little faces peeking through the holes… oh my heart💗! Thank you for sharing!

Ahhhh, yes, I will move slowly and get out of their way if they feel threatened by me. I will not initiate engagement and will follow their lead. I’m excited for this stage of the journey but am nervous at the same time. I have another bookcase in the room that will remain. It looks like small...

Dear Avery, I somehow missed your response to my earlier question, sorry!! I’m curious, when you opened up the safe room to allow your babies to explore the hallway and bathroom, what did you use to block them from entering other rooms? I suspect baby gates will not work because they can...

Update: Thank you ALL for talking me off the ledge🙃, offering me words of encouragement and reassurance that the kitties and mama will acclimate. We’re not quite there yet in terms of me handling or petting any of them, which I expected, but I am seeing progress. So, they’re still in the Catio...

Tons of thanks for your kind words, encouragement, and wonderful advice. Your story IS similar to mine, esp the mixed feelings, stress, and doubt you felt about whether you’re doing right by your family of kitties. You wrote it took months for the mama cat to acclimate indoors…and to you…and...

You’re right DeeCat. Babycakes is calming down as every day passes. She and Cupcake were sitting in the cubby TOGETHER this past weekend🙌! My main concern was that this family of three get along in the Catio and I see it slowly happening. I’m laying belly up by the Catio as I write this and the...

It’s stories like yours is why I am so hopeful that I can do this! I’ve read your responses to previous posts and learned so much from your experience, particularly about your cat who became the most loving toward you! That speaks volumes of the kidn of person you are and the love and commitment...

Awww, stories like yours are so inspirational and heartwarming. Thank you for sharing. I’m in awe of thise of you who bring in older ferals or semi-ferals. It gives me hope that even the older ones can live happily inside. How many months did it take for you to open the rest of your home for...

I have to keep your words in mind all the time: "The time is not yours but theirs." The babies are getting used to me, but they've also had more time with me (15 days more than when I trapped Babycakes). It's interesting because Maxi (the grey kitty) is the bravest one of all and will remain...

Grateful and appreciative of your words. Thank you:vibes::heartshape:

Great advice, thank you! During the day, I'm in "their" room working on my laptop and on Zoom meetings so I feel they are getting used to my presence. Every evening, I lay on the floor by the Catio talking to them or I'm on the phone catching up with friends and family. Although Babycakes...

Just wanted to add here that knowing ALL of your resident ferals found happiness inside IS encouraging and gives me hope and confidence that in time, my babies will feel the same!!! Hugs....

I appreciate your advice!! AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE QUOTE - you are my people:yess:!! I love the idea of talking to them in their language. I can mimic the meow but not purring (can't trill my r's:ohwell:...lol)! I started to meow at them and Cupcake showed interest by tilting her head as if...

My sincere apologies for just now responding. Besides the demands of work, I've been preoccupied with caring for my lil 14yo chihuahua, Bindi. She has a slew of conditions she acquired last year including MegaEsophagus (ME), IBD, and Acid Reflux. When a flare up occurs, it takes days to get it...
