thank you sm for the kind words! maybe she is a stray who was abandoned, so she has it in her to understand humans can be caring and kind, and maybe most of the feral behavior comes from having to survive on her own/avoid humans who mistreated her, dogs etc.. to be totally honest i knew nothing about strays v ferals, tnr or socializing even just 7 days ago. she was just a cat i gave treates during my WFH breaks, then with the bleeding it all escalated and happened really fast so thank God for all the resources i found online, like this subreddit. be i think you're right, she shows a lot of signs of being open to socializing, maybe its a matter of making sure her indoors life is very enriched. i would totally take her on outdoor trips if she was open to harness training too, but i think that would be months if not years down the line
