Cats (and Dog)

[evila_elf]

Took this a couple nights ago. Just recently, the black cat (now named Sammy), has been getting more used to me. As in he doesn't run (far) when I come outside.

He sniffed my finger the night before, and I have yet to pet him. In this vid, it is the closest he has come to me. Sorry the camera got a little wonky as I reached out to him--was more concerned about not losing a finger because this kitty is completely wild.

So, here is Sammy, Bella, and a guest appearence by Mindy (the dog)

LOL @ :14 -- "Meeeeeeeeeee"

Your animals are adorable, even the wild ones!

On a side-note you have a really pretty voice.

Aww, thanks :)

And Bella has great timing, doesn't she? hehe

So cute! Have you tried just kind of sitting down really close to the food bowl that you put out on the porch for them? like almost in your lap. Just to get them used to your presence, and to associate you with good things.

And maybe use the most enticing, stinkiest cat food you can find, lol, like something with tuna. This worked for me when I took in a stray neighborhood kitty.

Also, your doggie is so sweet, lot of dogs would have spazzed out over a strange cat on their doorstep.

It's really cold outside, so I can't hang out there too much. But I do bring little handfuls of catfood to Sammy when he is sleeping in his bed. Not afraid of me when he is in there. I'm sure I could reach in and try to pet him, but afraid of him swiping at me.

Mindy has gotten used to the cats and no longer chases them off the porch when she goes out, hehe.
