This morning when I stepped inside the new enclosure, I immediately sat on the ground. Two of the cats came over to give me a sniff then they darted off into the corner to hide. I opened up their cans of food and poured out dry- checked the litterpans for action (none) not surprising and then just let them be. I know they are safe, they are dry, warm and eventually they will come to know they are loved. Three people are anxiously waiting to adopt one- I had a family show up yesterday and against my better judgement, I took them inside to meet the kitties. Didn’t work at all and I told them that as we were walking to the building. They had only been here for twenty minutes (the cats) so nothing happened that I didn’t expect. But they had twin girls 12 years old that wanted to see the cats and the dad was the handyman who made all this possible- so I broke my cardinal rule. They did get to pet and see my cats on the way out of the yard so it wasn’t a total bust.
Purrrrrring that the senior kitties feel more comfortable in a week or two.
Has anyone caught the 5 escapees?
Hopefully the family will understand and wait for the cats to become adjusted. It’s nice that people are considering these oldsters.
