Continuing saga of the hard-core feral female...
Looking at a house cat and realizing that it's not really a house
cat is kind of weird. Lately, she has been meowing softly when hungry and food is on the way. Otherwise, things do not fundamentally change. I just wonder if keeping her is like taking in any other adult wild animal. She has been here for almost 5 years. Still ignores me. Sometimes I sing to her, that is about the only thing I do that causes a positive reaction (relaxation). I sing "I like Kiki..." and she replies "Then why are you here?" Not so much of that lately, but inwardly she is still scared. She ran around and cried a bit when access to her loft was temporarily cut off for cleaning. It was like déjà vu, but nothing like when she first got trapped inside here. My male cat would rather be inside than outside, I can leave the door open without worry. I think the female does too, but I wouldn't risk it. She is allowed to look out through a very lightweight screen window, and she never touches it. Unlike when she first got here... One episode, back then, she darted around and almost blew her way through a window, only to be stopped cold by a heavy-duty screen I had installed there. At least it is an interesting experience for me (being interested in animals). http://www.flickr.com/photos/2753221...in/photostream |
