WTG JinJin!!!
Maybe someday she'll snuggle up with you...
Aww...how sweet is that?Originally Posted by snosrap5
Awww!!! That is great!
I remember waking DH up one night because I found Mocha curled up between my legs!! DH wasn't quite as happy as I was though. Mocha normally lives under our bed and comes out at night!It's been a year and half and getting better and better.
It's the little things that count!
Thanks Helen!Originally Posted by Bella713
I can totally understand your excitement, this is a breakthrough for her...YAY!
It stopped me in my tracks! I was walking into the room, saw her, stopped cold, spun on my heel & walked out of the room!Originally Posted by mooficat
Yay, bet you could have just fallen right over
Huge! ThanksOriginally Posted by Phenomsmom
That is so sweet! a big milestone for Jin Jin too!
And just when you think they've hit a permanent plateau, they change just a little bit more!Originally Posted by squirtle

How sweet is that??I'm so happy for you Kelly.
I am so proud of her! She's been off and on the bed all day!Originally Posted by Renny
That's wonderful! Knowing where JinJin started....this is huge! You must be so proud of her!
Isn't it though!Originally Posted by lnbandcats
Congratulations for this huge accomplishment! What a sign of trust!
Is Sydney a feral? How did I not know that? They sure are worth the effort, aren't they?Originally Posted by Miss Mew
That's wonderful Kelly!!!, having an ex-feral as well I know what a huge step that is for Jin Jin to take!
I'm sure it's the first of many more
Yay for Pickett!Originally Posted by lionessrampant
Yay!!! You're doing so well with her. It takes many years for the ex-ferals to come around, but it's so rewarding when they do. We had a little guy at the shelter called Pickett. When Pickett came to us, he would hiss and spit at us, sometimes lunging to attack. Other times, he'd just totally hide up in our soc attic (where all of our ex-ferals live right after they come to us).
Well, he came around with us after SEVERAL months of hard work to the point where he'd let us touch him occassionally. Some people, I believe volunteers, were so taken with him that they took him home. 2 years later and I'm happy to report that Pickett is a little lap-hog and loves to be picked up!

And you know what? I'd probably find it heartwarming...the first time!Originally Posted by SillyJilly
It's so nice that she is feeling so comfortable and loved with you to be taking these steps!!! Comgratualtions!! Maybe next week she will pull all of your clothes out of the dresser and sleep in them!
It is really making me smile...she's been on it for most of the day now. She's really claimed the bed...I may not be allowed in it tonight!Originally Posted by babyharley
Awww, how wonderful that must make you feel!
That's exactly how it feels!Originally Posted by KittenKiya
Good for you!!!! That happiness starts at your toes and works its way all the way up to your head.
Oh that is wonderful.
She really does know, and it makes me so happy!Originally Posted by Sar
That is fantastic, Kelly!JinJin really knows where her home is and day by day is getting more and more comfortable
Now if I could just convince her to be there when I am!Originally Posted by okeefecl
What a wonderful thing! Ivo isn't feral, just stray, but I remember how happy I was when she started sleeping on my bed

She says she'll try Auntie Karen!Originally Posted by AbbysMom
That is a fantastic news! I know what a huge step this is for JinJin. Keep it up sweet little girl
Thank you!Originally Posted by wookie130
Awww...we always love to hear about progress, especially with those tougher feral babies! Congrats on JinJin's success!!!
It's a great feeling!Originally Posted by Kaylacat
AwwwThat is great news! I can totally understand how good it makes you feel when they make progress like this.
Thank you!Originally Posted by Rina_Marie
I know how that feels! I'm so happy for you!!!
Actually, if anything, Sabina is helping to push her forward. They're almost always together now, so JinJin copies what she sees Sabina doing. It's very adorableOriginally Posted by katachtig
I'm so proud of JinJin. I was a little worried about her back-tracking a little because of Sabina. But she is such a wonderful girl. Yay JinJin.
That shouldn't surprise me. I've noticed that happening with similar stories. Maybe the house-friendly cats just show the timid ones that it is ok.Originally Posted by clixpix

That's wonderful progress, Kelly. Getting Sabina was probably the best thing you could have done for JinJin.Originally Posted by clixpix

She really has!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Awww what wonderful news! She has come soo far since you've had her!
Cutie that she is, she jumped in the bed when I was in it last night...sat there for about 5 seconds...decided she wasn't ready...and jumped down.Originally Posted by valanhb
Kelly that just made my heart soar reading that!What a great, brave step for JinJin to take! Those thing that we see as little steps, we have to remember are really giant leaps of faith for the ferals in our lives. It took a lot of little steps/giant leaps for Ophelia to get to the demanding Feral Princess that she is today.
Thanks RyanOriginally Posted by Hydroaxe
That's great news Kelly! I hope Jin Jin continues to grow.
It really has turned out to be the best thing for her. They love each other, but they also compete with each other, which is good for JinJin.Originally Posted by jcat
