Hi Lizbud,
Thanks for checking in on Gizmo. He is doing well, still a little fraidy-cat but he is getting better. He still hides when he hears someone coming down the stairs but he has been out and about in the room more often. Tonight I stood on a chair and peeked over the door into his room and he was sitting in the window sill and he didn't seem to mind me hanging out with him. Then again, there was a door between us so he may not have felt threatened. But he is still eating and drinking all of his food and water and using the liter box, so that's good news! I had been feeding him outside for 2 years and knew he was feral. After he showed up with a serious eye injury, I knew he had to get to the vet and needed to be inside away from danger. He used to hang out with my cat ouside in the yard (the real Sofi) so I can't wait for the day in April when I can reintroduce them (they are seperated for now, he's under quarantine until April because of his injury). I think she'll be a big help for him. In the meantime...I have had the radio on in his room (quiet, classical music) and sometimes the tv as well since I brought him in the house. I'm just waiting for him to come around...I'll wait as long as I have to...
Thanks again for asking. Happy New Year!
