Okay, now I know that the word got out. Within a month of getting Morgan into our house, another kitten set up residence under our deck! I'm such a softie! We went through the whole thing again and trapped the kitten the same way as before. But this one was a fighter! She was a bit older than Morgan, so she had more determination. After a struggle, everything was okay. But since she was older, more time was required to make her feel comfortable around us. This experience tells me that at some point, a feral cat will be much more difficult, if not impossible, to tame. Of course, this depends on the cat to some extent, too.
I promised my husband that I would find a home for this one, since this was going to be #4 in our house, so I set out asking people if they wanted a cat, I posted signs and kept at that for a number of weeks. Well, you know the rest of the story! We got attached to her and we still have her today. She is a small (6#) cat with a big personality. She is very talkative and playful and seems to get into the biggest messes! I'm glad we couldn't find a home for her.
Here is a picture of KatyLady soon after we trapped her. She's not much bigger today.
Here she is (on your left) with our Humane Society Cat of 13 years, Saatchi. It's amazing how similar they both look!
