Help with a timid (feral?) cat

[Cataholic]

Well, just a small move in the right direction....this morning, when all got their teaspoon full of wet food as a treat, I took Minnie's down to her. I put it in the little condo and went about emptying the boxes...so she still heard me, though I was out of her line of sight. Five minutes later, I went to retrieve the bowl, and she had eater 2/3 of the food! (I did put a little extra in her bowl, but don't tell the others).

This was not what she was doing before...she wouldn't eat it all all if I was around. In fact, I am fairly certain one of the twins would get it, as Dakky would come up the basement steps licking his chops Unless he was sampling from the litter box...he was getting her food.

One small funny. On Wed am Georgia had to get two teeth extracted so I picked up all food/water by 6 pm Tuesday. When I came down the basement Wed to scoop...guess who had bit/clawed her way into a brand new bag of Science Diet? Yep, Minnie- the queen of feralness!
