After getting bit to the degree of ending up in urgent care and losing my left thumb’s use for a few days, I decided to corral Chandler into a carrier and transfer her out to the enclosure where she has access to the outdoors as well as the enclosure 24/7. She has been out there a few days and this morning when I went to feed
, she came flying into the cat door and skidded to a stop when she saw me. Then as calm as toast, she came up to me and head-bumped and rubbed me! She doesn’t want to be inside- she was kept inside that bedroom all her life and treated feral and although she is not feral, she is also not a cat that wants to be confined if given the choice. With the cold weather over soon- her lack of hair won’t interfere with her being outside. I see her out in the yard when I am doing the laundry or out on the porch and she has made a new friend with Bronson who is also back here and hanging around the feeders. They both look 100% better and happy for the first time since their arrival here.
They just had to find their environment. I’m glad Bronson knows where there is food and help if he needs it – and a new feline friend. Issn’t it gratifying to see a cat healthy and content?
As much as we help them, they’ve got to have things their own way!
