Unbelievable to have known this cat so feral, so long, and then; he'll run from my footstep, slink from my hand, be gone for hours. Somewhere. Puma tries to be kind but Prince is so eager to see him and be with him, he rushes him and overwhelms him.
Luna, still is doubtful. Prince, still stunned to be elevated into someone's arms, doesnt visibly embrace these moments~ but is glad to be loved & purrs
Even as babies, Luna & Puma got along well, and now as adults.
This blog is best read and understood from March 2007- the original posting at the end, to the present one here on top. But if you want to know how it ends before you know how it began- simply read it as it is laid out.
I became involved in animal rescue after my special cat Sterling,of almost 18 years, died. Sterling was royalty, pure bred siamese.
I was surprised to see distant kin of hers, ragged and lost in the streets, under cars,behind projects, etc.
I had no idea how to trap cats or abt the various programs offering assistance. I found a wonderful group of people who helped me in this regard.
I wanted to share the experience of trapping and trying to socialize a very feral cat. This wasnt the type of cat who warms up after a few meals and becomes pet like. This was not a "pet quality" cat. But it is possible to have a relationship and dont give up when it seems most lonely and futile. Everyone needs love and gives within their capacity.
Almost any photo can be clicked on and enlarged- but why do it?
Rephrasing the old TV series Naked City: this is but one story in a city of 8 million such stories...
Good luck with all your endeavors.
Not quite the same emotion with Prince;
