Formerly Feral Friday

Jenny is our only truly former feral and since she's still partially feral, she's not truly a former feral. Whatever...

Formerly Feral Friday

Jenny is still mostly feral although she has lived with us for 13 years now. She wasn't trapped until she was between 3-4 months of age. She is extremely skittish still and can't be picked up. We have never pilled her. She has only been to the vet a handful of times. (Thank goodness she is a very healthy cat.)

One time years ago before Davy was killed, Maw and Paw went to England to see Paw's family. Jenny had gone out the night before and didn't want to come in the next morning. Maw and Paw had to leave for the airport, so Maw told the petsitter that Jenny was out and that she would probably come in if the petsitter opened the patio door and then hid in the hallway until Jenny was well inside. Well, Jenny didn't come in for that whole week. The petsitter tried everything to get Jenny to come in, but she refused. So Jenny stayed outside and ate her meals outside and waited until Maw & Paw came home before she came inside.

Almost Formerly Feral Friday

Here's Jenny, relaxing after eating her morning stinky goodness. Jenny was an honest to goodness feral who was trapped when she was between 3 and 4 months of age. She lived with a colony of cats under an old woman's house next to a Taco Bell and the old woman fed them, but they also ate from the Taco Bell dumpster. When the old woman passed away, a rescue group began trapping the cats and moved them or found them homes. Jenny is still extremely skittish and we really can't do anything with her, so she just exists here. She's always been really healthy which is a good thing for her, since she would never let us medicate her. She's only been to the vet maybe 3 or 4 times in her 13 years of living here because it's very hard to catch her.

Someone asked the other day if Jenny has a tabby tail. Yes, she has a tabby tail, and a tabby spot on the back of one of her hind legs, and then the tabby bit on top of her head. Then the rest is all white.

She likes to play with Smokey, although she screams like she is being tortured when he chases her. She has always been very close to Bow, since Bow was the only other poodin here when she came to live with us.
