'feral' Cat Is Indoors
And the link to the first post is the send comment in that for backstory.
So, Skooma is awesome, and such a sweetheart. He solicits belly rubs, and gives biscuits. Only problem is his tail is still in between his legs more often then not. And he is terrified of cat toys. I feel bad that he does nothing but sleep all day, but he is terrified of anything moving around him. So toys freak him out. I have him confined to my office, so I'm there a lot working. I've opened up the door for him to explore the rest of the house, but he refuses to leave his bed. Sometimes, when he does leave his bed its just to hide in the corner of the room. He doesn't seem scared of me, just everything around him. I opened up the window to let some air in, and he somehow widdled in behind my computer because he was so scared. Skooma is really an amazing guy, but I'm not sure if I'm doing everything he needs to be successful in an adoption situation.
TLDR: we are fostering a stray that has been outside for 2 years. He is scared of everything, and I need help getting him more used to life as an indoor kitty.
