Hand flat on the floor, then fist, cheeks, head, back. Baby talk.
Love the photos, sweet babies.

I will add, I don't want to not let her back out because I just want her here for selfish purposes, and while I question my decision I know she's safe, the reason is because she wouldn't survive for much longer due to different levels of danger (very dangerous roads, coyotes etc...) Cats go missing here all the time and just two days ago another of our neighborhood cats we feed in a colony was killed by a car. I really want to know if others have had experiences with these sort of meows and if they go away or how others have experienced this.Question to you all - if you are still reading this thread - recently, Lilly has been looking quite longingly out the window and meowing as if she wants to go out. I don't want to let her out, she'd immediately revert to her previous stray/semi-feral/feral (whichever she may technically be) and be back in danger. It really breaks my heart, I talk to her and then try to distract her with play, which works, but I still question whether or not I'm doing the right thing by trapping and trying to socialize her. Any others with stray/feral experience this? If so, does it subside after some time? I don't mean to make it sound like she's always doing it, but it does happen and I am curious of others' experiences.Thank you!
I brought Demi in for good when I saw a coyote in the backyard. He cried and howled out the window for 2 weeks. Then he gave up. Maggie just accepted it, didn't really complain. I still call them Feral because people have to know that these aren't normal housecats. If you try to pet them, they might cut you. If your cats hurt somebody, you only get a couple chances before they take them away and euthanize them. They won't hurt anyone that's not touching them or picking them up, but if I called them semi-feral or 1/8 feral, then people might try to sneak a pet. I hope to train them not to bite and scratch someday...
Kitty missed being outside for the first few months.Question to you all - if you are still reading this thread - recently, Lilly has been looking quite longingly out the window and meowing as if she wants to go out.
