Our Two Feral Cats

62

By GiftedGrandma

Cats Black Beauty and Shadow

These two cats came to us as older feral kittens when we moved here. They still behave like independant feral's but having food and water readily available. Neither one likes to be picked up, the black one will hiss and let you know right away to put her down.

Black Beauty loves to be petted. I think you could pet her to death, but don't pick her up. She loves to be outside and felt trapped when she first came to us if she couldn't get right back out.

Over the past three years she has improved, but still very skittish even with my husband who gives them their treat every morning.

Shadow has become a home body. She likes to be inside more. She usually sleeps on top of the stereo cabinet, back of love seat and sometimes on top of the china cabinet. It is amazing to see her jump that high. I have seen her climb a big tree with little to no effort.

They are very territoral and will escort any other cat off the property without caring how much larger it may be.

We are their staff, catering to their every whim it seem at times.
