Hopefully, soon...

Sounds good, I'll PM you my phone number....

I can't even say how happy I am for you Johanna! That feeling of "oh my gosh, this poor cat, does it know I love it? Is she unhappy here?" and then seeing them progress into what God intended them to be must be so rewarding. I know you say that the congrats should go to her, but you get them too, its your home that she is beginning to feel safe and happy in.

Wonderful news!! I'll be waiting for that call....

YAY for Minnie and Cataholic!!! What great progress she has made!! Rose is right, you have the patience for what is important...the love of your Minnie girl!! No matter how long it takes, it will be worth it!! Looks like the time and purrsistance will pay off! I feel as excited as you are! YAY!

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} I gotta admit, I love this little girl.

Is it just me, OR, can you tell from the look in her eyes she doesn't have the same level of fear? The pictures were taken about 4 months apart???

Yes, I can tell a difference....the first one has a scared look in her eyes, the second picture is a much mellower (fun word!) cat.

I see it in her body language! In the first photo she is more hunched and wary. In the second she looks more relaxed and comfortable.

Cataholic....now that you have learned to post photos...are you going to go back and insert in all your posts? Can you provide clues as to which have been edited?

1st) Minnie is so beautiful!!!!!

2nd) DON'T be adding stuff to the beginning of the thread....People like me (you know the ones who cant' read) are too slow to figure this stuff out. Just put any edits at the end, for us slow people.

3rd) Minnie really is gorgeous.

I agree! Someone mentioned photos and I thought "What I didn't see any pictures, so I had to go back to the beginning and take a look. I'm glad I did because she is a beauty. And yes, she does look different like others mentioned. Tense/wary in the first, much more relaxed in the second.

Bring on the pictures!!!!

Minnie's head is down and she's cowering in the first pic. She looks much more alert and interested in the second one, no sign of fear at all. Congratulations!!!

I will adhere to your advice (or, advise for Miss Meow) on the photo/edits to post and add them at the end. I didn't realize that I had two pics of Minnie, and I wanted to go back and 'beef' it up a little...I KNOW YOU AREN'T CRITICIZING ME, I am just explaining...Cause, I, too, wondered, "How am I gonna let them all know I did this?"...

I was just too excited about my picture-ability!!! Next time, I will do it better!!! Keep on LOVING MINNIE!

You can see the difference easily. In the first she says "Does this machine shoot?" In the second she's much more relaxed.
If I think that my own Tigris, never having had any bad experience with humans in his life, took 6,5 years before he slept on my lap -then I can imagine how difficult it may be for poor sweet Minnie.

you just wait and see.....soon minnie will be spending the night with her granny!
