Hey cataholic.
How is that Minnie doing??? I am new to pet talk and read with interest about Minnie
I have 3 challenging types like Minnie. It took fern over 4 years before she sat in a chair BESIDE me.. Willow still hides under the covers for 1/2 of the day and I've had him 1 1/2 years. And Calvin cannot be picked up. Petted, yes.
But you know what? The best part is all the little steps in the right direction. All three of those cats would be homeless right now if they had an owner with little patience, but I think they are a worthwhile effort. And I love them as much as the "easy" ones.
