So my little feral has been squatting in our bathroom for 2 weeks now. She has made some progress in socializing. She now "owns" the bathroom and her 3 spots. She feels just a little playful at about 2:00am...so sometimes I go in so she can chase the laser pointer or play with a wand toy for a little while.
She is finally eating really well and accepting tuna as a treat! She even comes out from behind the toilet for a treat...but not too far. At least she will eat them in front of me. She used to wait stubbornly for me to leave before eating it!
I am concerned about her eye though. It is infected. We went to the vet and she will need eye drops. She would NOT accept that. The vet wasn't even able to get near her or touch her. He said it's not too bad and that it can wait until she is willing to accept touching. Except it seems like that is FAR in the future. Poor little thing - I don't want to force it on her. She will never trust me after that but it is hard to see her little eye looking so uncomfortable!
