OMG I have stroked my scardey cat.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

I didnt know Moggchops was a scaredy cat, but thats great 

Love all the pictures and of course we dont mind 

I keep hoping that Sasa is trying to get brave cos her current games are :

Slamming the study door open cos she wants me to come and play
Scratching a box in front of my desk, squeaking and sitting there till I look round the desk, for playtime
Stamping her paws if the one above doesnt work!
She is also rubbing against the legs of the desk and then looking at me as if to say, Well come now!

I cant wait for the day when she comes and rubbs against my legs or head buts me .........sigh

What a babe Nigel was and fat cat ..so sad...gorgeous babes though

Congrats on getting a stroke in from your timid kitty ..I have a cat Moggchops who is so scared and is just starting to get to the point where i can stroke him he even purrs sometimes and the other day he even came to me and rubbed his head on me

Whoops I posted one twice here is the other I meant to post. Hope you dont mind but I have posted two others of my recently departed cats who are now playing on the bridge.

Nigel is the ginger and white one, a lovley boy who I miss dearley and fat cat, who wasnt fat at all! who I think would have gone mad for da bird as he did with all other feathered creatures

I think you have done very well in 4 weeks, I have had Sasa for two years grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi all,  for your replies.

It has taken me four weeks to get Lawrence feeding out my hand and be able to touch him, not long I know but after having 3 normal  cats it seemed a life time. He was hissing and spitting at me again this morning but at least there has been some progress.

They love whiskas temptations bluecat, especially chicken and cheese flavour!!

I have taken some pictures with my phone so they are not very clear but I will post them anyway. Lawrence is the ginger one and Leo the black cat.

Oh, that's fantastic!!  There's nothing like that first breakthrough, is there?     WELL DONE!!!  Your patience has worked its magic - it can only get better now

[Desley (booktigger)]

Wonderful news.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Wow that is fantastic and am so happy for you 

How long has it taken to get to this point?

My Sasa doesnt hiss or spit, she just runs for her life 

[bluecat]

Which treats are you useing been trying whith denta bits mint  no joy unless i put them down for her

[Susanne (urbantigers)]

That's great!    It's so lovely when they do that for the first time.  He's obviously learning to trust you and realises that you're not a threat.  Keep up the good work!   I'm sure the whiskas treats are helping 

[Tiggy's Mum]

That's great news  Hope he continues to gain confidence

Hi all,

I just wanted to share my good news with you.Tonight Lawrence, my very scardey cat has purred and rubbed his nose against me and has let me stroke him for the first time ever

 Just two hours ago it was the usual hissing and spitting routine when I got anywhere near him. Im not sure what has brought about this transformation, could be whiskas treats!! but im really excited and this has given me renewed hope as I was beginning to think things were never going to change.
