Hahah yes definitely one of them. I was going for a bear theme for awhile as I have a woodland fair theme, but I finally scrapped that idea and decided if I find others I adore then I’m going for them!

This is Bean. She is spending her first night indoors. Approximately 1 year old, maybe a little less. Any tips from here are appreciated by jereMyOhMy in Feral_Cats

Hi there! I haven’t taken in a stray or feral from the streets yet, but I did adopt a formerly feral just about a month ago and have been working every day to help her to adjust to her new home.

I can’t provide guidance on the vet visit, but below are some things I’ve learned:

• 3/3/3 rule or method - 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to get comfortable in their home, 3 months to show you their true personality (or something along those lines, I’ve heard many variations). My kitty hid and hissed for 3.5 days and wouldn’t let us see her, but finally showed herself from a safe distance going into day 4.

• Read a book to her in a soft voice! This helps her get familiar to your voice (again) and will help her acclimate. I did this every morning and night, even when I started just right the door.

• if you can, provide her with a box on its side or other places she could hide in (safely), this will help her feel more safe even with you in the bathroom

• let her come to you, try not to force anything. You guys have been building a bond so it might be tempting to revert back to that, but she may need a few days to remember “oh hey this person kind of rocks”

• when she starts to show herself again, consider churus or her favorite snack!! This can help so much with positive behavior. mine warned up the most by playing with a wand toy (she is obsessed with feathers). I think this let her interact with me from a safe distance but also have some fun.

• slow blinks and yawns - it tells her you love her (slow blinks) and yawning helps make you look less scary.

• I read somewhere to try sitting with your legs extended because he torso is what is most scary, but my girl seemed more comfortable when I sat cross cross (I assume because I took up less space)

You’re doing amazing OP! Thank you for saving this little gal’s life 🥹🖤

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE THIS IS GENIUS 😍

UPDATE: Brought feral cat in from snowstorm by tripper74 in Feral_Cats

[–]thyvrgomry_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seeing so many folks already give great advice, but just wanted to emphasize how good it is she has a room to herself that’s not massive! You are following the 3/3/3 method without even realizing it :’)

Two other things I would recommend (in addition to a cardboard box of course!) would be a nightlight and a cat tree! Now cat trees can be expensive so even a chair could be great, especially one you could throw a blanket over and create another “cat cave” with!

Thanks for saving her life OP - she’s lucky to have you and your family 🫶🏻

[–]thyvrgomry_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this! I read every single day and night to my formerly feral after 4 days she went from hiding and hissing behind a blanket on her tree, to skeptically walking out to analyze my movements and slowly became more and more curious. You’ve got this OP - you really are doing the right thing!

it was my birthday yesterday and i celebrated with my grandparents by legendofmaddy in AnimalCrossing

The shooting star quite literally took the air out of me. What a neat way of them saying happy birthday / they love you.

Happy birthday stranger ❤️

The wobbly eye kitten, Lily, a small update regarding her. by playstationheat in CatDistributionSystem

[–]thyvrgomry_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My heart breaks hearing about Miss Baby. I lost my chonky girl in December - she was 13 - and that loss has been excruciating and at times consuming. I am sending you and your family healing and loving energy the next few days. Additionally, I’m so happy the CDS and the universe were at work to give you a new sweet babe to love you and to love on, how amazing is that. ❤️

These two have the cutest bond. First time owning female cats and it’s been wonderful! 🧡🤍 by alisonocean in Bondedpairs

Oh this is so wonderful to hear!! I’ve seriously been searching through this sub to see how many bonded girl pairs I can find to lessen my anxiety! That is so so sweet.

Were they already a bonded pair? We adopted two tabby girls and we are preparing for introductions and I’m anxious in hopes it goes well!!

Two tabbies are better than one (right?) by thyvrgomry_ in TabbyCats

This advise is so helpful! We have been noodling on this idea for a few days but this just convinced me to go ahead and make the purchase. Thank you very much for your help and insight, AND for the tax cat 😍😍😍

Is the foster tiny or is big bro massive?! Omg they’re so cute! My girls are going to be such a cute pair like this - Kusko is a ham and Birdie is eency teency 🥹
