The General is proof of what can be achieved with time and patience.

Generals Mum is indeed a special lady. She saw my updates on my own FB profile and felt such a connection with him she messaged me asking if I'd reconsider and allow him to be relocated after trapping. (The plan was to get someone else on my street to take on "ownership and feeding duties.")

We talked about his needs via message and decided on the best course of action, then I went into fundraising mode.

I'm SO proud of her, her daughter and General. They're all amazing.

Bless his little heart! How wise Donna was to step back and let things happen in the General's own time, rather than trying to make him conform to what she wanted. What she has now is a boy who chooses to spend time with her, who feels safe enough to ask for affection when he wants it, she is a truely special person!

So grateful for the link Rosella - that's possibly the most complete picture of The General's journey, and boy does it show how far he's come, and what a splendid littl snuggle-puss he is now to back then. Talk about unlocking a cat's true potential.

I don't have access to Facebook right now but I think it's just called 'The General'.

Mymblesdaughter · « **Reply #342 on:** May 19, 2014, 10:33:08 AM »

What's the facebook page called?

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #341 on:** May 19, 2014, 08:29:16 AM »

I saw it JS. He's such a sweetheart

JackSpratt · « **Reply #340 on:** May 18, 2014, 17:52:07 PM »

For anyone with a FB a video was just posted on his page today. Apologies, I've no idea how to share a video off a page yet otherwise I'd post it here for you all.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #339 on:** April 29, 2014, 14:36:55 PM »

That is just amazing JS and so heart warming

Dawn F · « **Reply #338 on:** April 29, 2014, 13:44:38 PM »

its is a great story, heartwarming is the word!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #337 on:** April 29, 2014, 11:09:07 AM »

What a lovely story. No doubt after so long living feral, he's not keen on the thought of being "shut in" but what an incredible and truly amazing measure of his trust that he now lives the way he does, and clearly thinks so much of his humans. Donna must be so chuffed.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #336 on:** April 29, 2014, 11:04:57 AM »

General still feels most comfortable sleeping in his shed at night. But when Donna and her daughter get home from their days, he's always waiting for them for his tea. He comes into the house, eats and chills out with them for quite a few hours. When he's ready to bed down for the night, he lets Donna know by going to the door to be let out.

She's watched him a number of times, he goes straight to his shed and basket and sleeps there until morning. Apparently he rarely leaves the garden now.

The General and his story is just wonderful

Does he live inside now?

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #332 on:** April 28, 2014, 08:53:20 AM »

I love that pic

He looks so happy

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #331 on:** April 28, 2014, 07:05:57 AM »

That's a real "cat laugh"

I love updates on The General. His is such a great story and such a complete transformation.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #330 on:** April 27, 2014, 22:25:33 PM »

Advert for Dreamies, featuring General....

JackSpratt · « **Reply #329 on:** January 24, 2014, 12:53:00 PM »

Most definitely him, Rosella. He's rather more rotund these days.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #328 on:** January 21, 2014, 22:11:53 PM »

Wow, he is looking wonderful

Are you quite sure that's the General JS?

He looks like he had plenty of turkey at Christmas

Love his sister's head gear

JackSpratt · « **Reply #323 on:** January 19, 2014, 10:56:32 AM »

Newest photo. General learning "technical stuff" with his sister.

Just such a wonderful story..........The Cat Comes in from Cold..........

He looks as if he now has his paws firmly under the table

Well done Donna!!

Am just loving that one JS. It's like a scene from a Christmas card - imagine the snow outside, and inside it's all cosy and warm, the cat on the hearth - all it needs is a stocking hung from the mantel, and there you have it!

Donna Rocks, Donna Rocks

The General has, at long last, come in from the cold, and got himself a cosy billet. What a lovely lovely outcome.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #314 on:** November 21, 2013, 23:38:30 PM »

One of the newest photos...thought you'd all like this one.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #313 on:** October 29, 2013, 08:42:33 AM »

A match made in heaven then JS

JackSpratt · « **Reply #312 on:** October 28, 2013, 11:07:30 AM »

Donna rocks. Repeatedly, I tell her this.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that we ended up in contact again years after she used to come to my home for after school care. General was meant to be a part of her family, I firmly believe that.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #311 on:** October 28, 2013, 07:22:33 AM »

Cor!!!! Way to go, General!!!

Donna is like Wonder Woman.

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #310 on:** October 27, 2013, 16:48:29 PM »

What a good boy!
