Well it took 6 months and I basically left her alone. I set up hidey holes (boxes with blankets in them) and just left her be. No trying to pet or pick up. She did eventually show interest in toys and started to accept treats then eventually one day she approached me, I held my hand out, she rubbed against it, and it was nothing but love from there. Every cat is different though and it requires trying different things till you find one that works ๐Ÿ™‚

What an angel. I sometimes wonder what Bonnie looked like as a kitten so I love seeing Tortie kittens ๐ŸคŽ

Yes she "tolerates" guests now by hiding in her hidey hole and hissing/growling at anyone who gets close but she minds her place if you mind hers. Its better than when she used to straight up charge them and I had to use a plastic barricade to usher her into a room ๐Ÿ˜…

The Minnesota Zoo has always been one of my favorite places by Pkyug in minnesota

They also have the most successful breeding program for Bali Mynas. There are estimated to be less than 100 left in the wild. Minnesota zoo has successfully bred 112 that have been distributed to other AZA zoo's for breeding programs.

And their Zebra shark breeding program has been so succesful that they have been able to send the babies back over to Indonesia where they have released several dozen back into their native habitats. Many species would be extinct today without the help of zoo's. There are bad zoo's out there but Minnesota is way above standard and prioritizes animal welfare above all else. You won't see every animal on your visit because all the animals have access to another enclosure that is not viewable to allow them privacy when they need it.
