    Semi-Feral Cat Won't Warm Up to Me

    Latest Update: The key to love really is through food, apparently. After 10 months, Belle finally came up to me today, willingly, and allowed me to pet her. Only for a few seconds at a time, however, before flinching away -- like a moth to a flame. But regardless, I was able to stroke her back...

    Semi-Feral Cat Won't Warm Up to Me

    Update, for anyone that is interested. Belle's tooth is fine. Her bald spots (either self-inflicted or caused by my whacking out mats) are grown back. As for our cat-slave relationship, it is still regretfully lacking. I gave up on the daily petting long ago as it only seemed to give her...

    Feline Hyperesthesia and Feral cat issues

    Oh noooooo! I'm so sorry to hear that! :( The first question I have is one you've probably already answered for yourself, but I'll ask it anyway: Are you certain there was nothing wrong with Meakha's collar? It didn't fall off at all, or move out of place, or run out of fragrance or anything? I...

    Another slightly less mysterious cat approaches

    Oops! I thought I mentioned that he was rather large in my original post! In his last weigh-in at the vet, he was a hearty 14lbs, which does not really help clear anything up -- a heavy Birman or a light Ragdoll. I suspect he'll get heavier with age, as most creatures do. The only reason I lean...

    Another slightly less mysterious cat approaches

    Thank you so much! I told my mom that he made it to the front page of the site and she's so pleased! (: We haven't caught him using our dog as a pillow, but they are definitely thick as thieves and sleep together often! I was linked to a PDF of showing standards for Ragdolls and I'd have to...

    Semi-Feral Cat Won't Warm Up to Me

    I never expected you to do so! (: We all have goals and I know I dreadfully neglect mine all the time (yes, unfinished study guide for exam on Monday, I am looking at you). I'm glad that you decided to pick it up again with Dudley! It sounds like he's happy to have the attention again. I like to...

    Another slightly less mysterious cat approaches

    To less-experienced eyes like my own, they most certainly do. In actuality, I know the bare minimum about cat breeds and am more than ready to defer to the wisdom of the users of this site. Thank you! I believe he thinks so too -- he certainly always looks pleased with himself. Aww, thank...

    Another slightly less mysterious cat approaches

    Shhhh, you are sabotaging my persuasive efforts, as my stepfather suggested Birman. I'm advocating Ragdoll. I suppose it's hard to tell, however; they all look rather similar...

    Another slightly less mysterious cat approaches

    Hello, again. In order to settle a long-standing dispute in my family, I am turning to you kind folks for helping in best matching this cat to a breed. This is Oliver, though he also responds to Hey, You and Doofus. My mother adopted him from a shelter about five years ago and they said he was...
