Please find below the orignal and still the best the first 3 tabby members of our family
Toerag our first boy allowed Tiger to come in for dinner when we were at work and then he got a bit bolder and started turning up and spraying, Robins says if you can catch him - before trapps came to mind we could keep him - 2 broken fingers and one wrecked bathroom and Tiger joined Sweetie and Toerag and so started our love affair with ferals.
He got all the bits done and had a tail when he first joined us and has since matured in to being leader of the Clan cats after the tragic loss of his best friend and big Brother Toerag, Tiger lost his tail the following year after playing with a car and loosing and being missing for 5 days but the vets did a great job on the tail removal and he surpassed all the vets dire sounding and even had a vet digging up soil for him after we had the he hasn't been for 3 days bladder chat and found out they were trying to make him go in god forbid cat litter not strelised compost!
Tiger is now 12 and half and leads the Clan Cats well thats unless Sweetie is within earshot and then she is in soul charge - at 16 she can still sort out the 18lb boy! Tiger is also diabetic and thankfully a big purr monster now or else twice daily shots would have been fun as he spent the first 4 years being knocked out for injections as he didn't like the vet much now he purrs and is a star perfomer
Lima and Clio joined us 7.5 years ago as 11 month old ferals from Cp with no human contact and were formerly known as Havoc and Chaos they spent the first 6 months hissing, spiotting and clawing and generally living up to their former names but we kept going and after 2 and a half years Clio purred for me and became my second loving girls so long as her 3 paws remain on the floor! Lima is a mans cat and really doesn't like women in any way shape or form and took 6 years to sit in the same room as me and has 2 vets nurses and a vet to his credit with hospital visits but is now not in the cruush cage and loves his Daddy!
Lima and Clio worship Tiger to the point of stalking him and he is so tolerant and to see them all off doing the rounds is a wonderful sight and now in to the mix they have added their little brother SKy who helps them on the paddock boundaries!
So ferals can and do adapt and they helped shape our love for ferals and show us that love and time are irrelavant once the feral purrs and seeks you out for the first time its like all the previous years melt away and they show they can trust and love you just by giving them time so this is how team stripe can be found most nights!
