My Feral Cat

Just an update on the girl feral kitty that was born in my garage. She had taken to resting on the sidewalk across the street. I guess she wants to keep an outlook on my house. I drove in the driveway after having a sandwich with Kevin who works nearby. I could not eat it all and was bringing the leftovers home.

I decided to see if I could get her to eat some of the ham, without running from me as they run very fast when they see people. However, she just sat and watched as I slowly approached with outstretched hand of ham. When I reached her, she took a sniff, and I promise you she looked into my eyes with the expression, "WHAT? NO SQUIRREL, NO RAT???"
I wanted to laugh, but, I left it and she finally ate it....

My life with animals I do not want continues. I guess they want me.....lions, tigers, and bears oh my, I hope they are not the next to come.....

Thanks for stopping by TNS and commenting.
Got to admit the strays know where I live also. Good luck with the cat. Ferals take such a long time to tame.

Patti, I do not think these will ever be tame....they can live with me in the Front Yard...not the back with Shelby lol
I enjoyed your blog...like to read those close to home....well, and far away too.

I am now into my fifth month with a feral cat and I feel very proud of the progress I have made in taming her. She waits every morning outside my back door for me to pet her and then give her a nice healthy breakfast. i still have to be very careful though with her.

Got any ideas about how to care of feral kittens two weeks old and still with her mother? The mother is 80% tamed.
