Dmmetler Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Our neighbor has a couple of outdoor cats, and she showed up. She has a vet appointment later today. Right now, I'm sitting with her and hoping to get her a little less terrified. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 I am less scary than the waiting room. if she’s healthy, that’s the plan. Scooter really wants a friend. Although she’s tiny compared to him… 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 So feral cats? Or outdoor cats that are actually cared for and who are the neighbor’s cats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ohhh! She looks like my Scout did! I hope she and Scooter get along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Oh this makes me want a new kitty, but I already have an cat and a dog and ball of energy dog that just turned one and a baby on the way and 4 other kids and a husband to take care of already. I better not!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 The original 2 are outdoor cats. There are two others who are feral, but have figured out he puts up food and leaves the garage open, so I'm guessing one of them is mom and dropped off baby. She's upstairs hanging out with DH while he works since I teach today, since she got a clean bill of health. Scooter really wanted in to meet her. I'm a little concerned about introducing an 18 pound cat to a 2 lb one, no matter how friendly he i 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 She's still hanging out in her carrier unless she's on someone's lap. She purrs loudly. I don't know if she's a bit loopy from the kitten shots, or if she's scared to explore. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 She's so pretty. Poor scared wee girl! Might be best to wait a couple of days before she meets Scooter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be best to wait a couple of days before she meets Scooter? We expect to keep her upstairs for a few days at least, and probably do the first introductions when she's in her carrier, where she has some protection and association with security. DH's office is up there (it's also our guest room) so she has a chance to be near him, but isn't the focus of attention. Give her a chance to get used to us. Especially since L comes home this weekend and my Dad will be here in a couple of weeks, so she'll have extra people. She needs to move downstairs before my dad comes unless he wants to share his room with a kitten 🙂 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Today she's climbing all over me while I try to get work done and is grooming me. She hasn't been willing to go explore the room yet, but she's definitely getting less scared. Her purr is bigger than she is! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 The good news is, she trusts me enough to fall asleep while lying on me. The bad news is that I’m stuck, and I kind of need to charge my iPad before my piano group class this afternoon…. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
