I Don't want the World to See Me

Remember waaay back when I was doing the daily pictures and I took a very crappy far away picture of a couple kittens playing in the woodpile?

So, backtracking. We had this pregnant cat that wandered around. She was wild and wouldn't let dad near her. The above mentioned are her kittens. Well, Dad had taken to feeding them and managed to get them 'tame' enough to be in the same space as them. That was this spring.

Last week, the mother cat had started hanging out on the front porch on this wheelchair that we have no place for. She had ran away as soon as we turned on the light because that = Mindy getting let outside. Then, about 4 days ago I started leaving little handfuls of food on the chair for her. Then I managed to let Ki watch her from the window--they had a staring contest before the other cat ran off. Then I let Ki watch her at the door. Ki got fed up and started growling and hissed when she refused to do anything but stare back and I shooed Ki off out of the way and tossed out some cat food so she would know I was the one feeding her. She started to run off until I clicked at her.

I got her a little meat and got her to take a piece from my hand. Then she bit at my finger and swiped at my hand.

So, after a little more food, I decided to go outside yesterday and see if I could avoid getting eaten. After a little hesitation, she started rubbing against my legs and wanting attention. o.O She flinched every time I went to pet her at first, then settled down.

Today she let me rub the side of her face, a place I was avoiding in case she tried to bite. She did grab me once with her claws, but a 'uh uh' sound and she let go. And she tried to swat at my hair lol.

Anyway, the actual point of this post....PICTURES!
She hated the flash at first.
