I thought you might be interested in hearing about pets that are adopted from your shelter. I got Sonny and Cher August 8th and it became clear to me that they were feral with little socializing. We have come a long way since then but still have a way to go. They both remain skittish but doing better.

Cher aka Maudy now climbs up on me and lets me pat her. She does this especially at treat time!! If I want to pick her up she tries to run away, but once up she does relax for some good scratches.

Sonny aka Milo is becoming very large. He loves it when I talk kitty talk to him, rolling over on his back, looking cute. However, when I approach him, he still runs away. I am trying to pick him up each day and scratch him behind his ears, but I must catch him first!!

They love their meals (strictly dry catfood) and they love Murph and Morty seen in the photo below. They all play and run thru here like crazy. Progress is being made when someone comes over. They don't disappear to the basement for long. They will appear and check things out at a distance. They are all indoor cats. They seem very happy with their environment and I hope, in time, they will fully trust me. See Maudy with Murph and Mortimer squirrel watching at the bottom of the page!!
