I Want To Bring Her Inside

[katladyd]

Please don't scare the Baby. We can wait awhile for pictures. It is more important that she is able to adjust to being inside. BUT, when she is comfy...well, we do love pictures here!

I have a problem with one cat, Blackie. He is a dsh black cat who is the
oldest kitty (by 1 yr) and the first cat brought inside besides Momma Kitty's
two babies (Redbud & Michael). Blackie was brought inside when they were
both less than a year old. He is the official Uncle to all the younger ones.


Problem is, he will not eat in the same room as Baby Kitty & I've always
fed everyone together, until now. I have been taking his plate into another
room for him and feeding his wet food separate from the others.

Is this a good idea? Or should I hold out & make him come join the others?

Any ideas to help solve this problem?

Well, the feeding problem resolved itself and things are moving alone
very well. BK has found all the fun hidey places & mixs & mingles pretty well
with all the other kitties. She seems to have picked out Joey (my youngest)
as her play buddy & follows him around the most.

I am so glad I brought her inside. I have finished the pictures and
will drop off the camera to get them put on a cd so I should have pictures
to upload next week.

Well, no pictures of Baby Kitty inside just yet, but here's a few of her
just before I brought her inside.

Sitting on my car.



She took off like a shot when the flash went off & ended up here. Can you
see where she is hiding?

Baby in the alley outside the garage.




The little waif out in the cold snow.



She getting more at ease inside everyday now. I hope to get more pics
as we go along. I'll have to be sneaky.

She's a lovely fluff ball

So she is adapting to life inside? I'm so glad you got her living the good life.

Oh yeah. The boys have stopped treating her as a stranger now and
she has heat and company at all her meals. I do still have to work on
building trust with me but that's a ongoing thing.
