Patience out in the living room.
She has pretty much stayed in the cat room with her sister since I reunited them.
Prudence was out earlier today too.
It might help if some of the others didn't stare at her like she hasn't been here since September 2019. They just aren't used to her doing this.

Few things are as heartwarming as watching a senior Feral cat play like she was always tame.
From literally deaths door to this.
Happy Caturday ❤

Every year I do this.
I even have a spacer I made to run the cord through the window. Their heated water bowl.
I keep saying I will just put an outlet out there. I get busy and forget.
I also hope someday Merlin and Persephone will live indoors and I won't need it.

The outdoor picture is Max with his brother Cuddles (adopted). They were getting very friendly but weren't having being picked up yet. The 2 girls were constantly close by but wouldn't allow touching yet. The day I was able to pick up all 4 - in they went.
Pretty was the the last.

I opened the door for some interaction between the cats and Prudence came out.
Patience is holed up on a shelf in the spare room. I vacuumed so she will stay there a while.

I can't take all the credit.
My cats are good kids. They are also pretty used to this because - they are good kids. I'm not the only one rescuing here.
I always say;
I don't decide who stays here - they do.

They are still fine together.
I couldn't easily get Patience out from under the bookcase last night and since they were completely relaxed together;
I said a prayer and went to bed.

He is such a love.
The other day when I was feeding Merlin and Persephone,
She came out the door and stood there with her tail straight up making biscuits. ❤

She is under the bush though.
Perhaps she is better camouflaged than I think?

This is why I wasn't sure. I had to dump the baby out of the carrier.

A little video of me talking to Merlin. Notice the slow blinks - feline expression of affection. He makes eye contact with me too now. He will not go in a trap nor let me touch him.

Been a while since I posted a Patience update; She will take all of this that I can give her. She loves having her head and ears scratched. She purrs. She is even more relaxed if I am not holding my phone taking video. She isn't used to me reaching towards her with both hands. She still isn't ready to get down off the desk yet. I may this weekend leave the door open when I go to work and not close it Saturday night. Maybe she will venture out if I am not home or not up. My biggest concern is her getting food. If I leave her bowl down and she stays up the other's will eat it.

She is getting very close to being able to call her tame. ❤

Patience has started making eye contact with me when I am petting her. It doesn't seem like much but since a feral won't make eye contact at a distance her doing it up close while being touched is a really big deal. Patience is Thankful she is not living under a shed in the cold and snow. Happy Thanksgiving from Fancy, Max, Pretty 😪, Penelope, Samson, Delilah, Alexander, Patience, Adrikk, Baby, Powder, Willow, Pickles, Nina Jeanne, Miracle, Hemingway, Pooky, Sebastian, Nigel, Persephone, Joker, Merlin and me.

Baby step by baby step. She really is doing very well.

Yes she hissed but; She isn't swatting, isn't biting, she didn't run. She is starting to figure out this feels nice. Another step Sweetheart ❤

Never, ever get between a feral cat and it's safe space. The room is set up like this for a reason. I can take care of her food, water, box without invading her space. I don't want her to feel threatened. That hurts the taming process and taming is more fun without ER visits for me.

Silly Delilah She has also been obsessed with the clock for about 2 weeks now.
