Misfit (or Miss Fit, if you'd prefer), the "backyard" feral who the shelter said was "too wild to be socialized", has been sleeping in the guest bathroom in her guest bed this winter. She also enjoys a rousing game of Bathtub Ping Pong.

- That expression is absolutely priceless! 
She's rather a smart one, despite having a somewhat permanent googly-eyed expresshun. Yeah, I know. That's what they all say.
"Who? Me? I'm not in the sink!"
This shot is perfect for:
I Has An Expresshun!

Her expression reminds me of @kat0121 's Sophie, @tabbytom 's January, and my own little Oz. She's a lovely little girl,She's rather a smart one, despite having a somewhat permanent googly-eyed expresshun. Yeah, I know. That's what they all say.
Her Expresshun never seems to change:

Yes, she's doing great. I wasn't able to even touch her until August. Now 5 months later, I can pick her up and carry her around the house for a "walking tour". She rubs against my legs when I'm in the kitchen. She's just not a "relaxed cat" yet (and may never be) or a snuggler. When I pick her up, she often digs her claws in to the back of my hand/wrist, but she isn't being aggressive, just insecure. She's always in a loaf or otherwise on guard when she's inside. She's come a long way.

- You're doing great; some take a little time, but Love still conquers all. Here's the (tuxedo) proof - White Tip, the wildest of them all:
Awww. White Tip looks very comfy!

- I've just revisited these photos, and good Heavens but she's a beautiful girl! As far as being, "too wild to socialise," my vet - who never gives up - said he thought it best to put White Tip back outside. A year later I could pick her up, and today she's the sweetest cat I know, acting as the Welcome Committee and go-between for Friday, Clawed-Ya and Mirò. Just keep doin' what you're doin' - you can't fence Time... and you know the rest.
Here is our tuxedo boy (and yes he's still Dante) he's still being socialized. he loves my husband.. me not so much. some day..

- No worries; Love and patience will bring him 'round in his own time. Lord, what a beautiful big boy he is.
