Next, I decided to hand-feed her some food, which she was wary of, but couldn?t resist.
(3) Petting her back while feeding her came next.
(4) Next, I placed a bowl of food inside my door, moving it closer and closer to the kitchen with subsequent feedings. Finally, it came to rest next to the stove, where I feed her now.
(5) Before long, she allowed me to pet her without food, and then she jumped on my lap for petting, and finally she meowed to get in to be petted, without any promise of food.
Now, she?s like a regular house cat, and she doesn?t want very much to go out.
What happened to her brothers and sisters? The boys split long ago, but the sisters, Marquesa and Nochka are still hanging around, and I feed them outdoors.
For some reason, they resisted my efforts to civilize them!
