Today is Respect Your Cat Day!

For Caturday, here's Henry before the Great Escape of yesterday, when he was happily napping with me.

He may believe that we'd disrespected him.

I understand that; being shoved into a carrier to be poked and prodded by strangers is NOT at all how royalty prefers to be treated.

Will only apologize for making you scared, Henry; if you aren't well, we need an expert to find out how to help you.

I used Prisma, Corn Filter.

Under Foot

It's Inside But Still Somewhat Feral Friday, featuring Henry!

Henry follows me.

If I'm at my desk, on the rocking chair, or in bed, he's THERE.

Also when I'm taking a bath!

He loves to be petted, brushed, and combed.

I try to hold his paws, but he's not ready for that yet.

And right now, I can only find four of his spring toys.

Maybe the missing ones will appear after the snow melts.

😹 😹 😹

Delightful

 It's Inside Feral Friday!

D'aww, isn't he just the cutest?!?

He's still not 100% comfortable, yet he's so much more so now then EVER.

😻😻😻

*BOOP!*

It's Caturday!

Henry, up close and purrsonal.

Artified with Prisma and iPhoto filters.

Shyly

Sunday Selfies

Henry is still a shy guy.

However, he's begun to follow me as I move around Henryville.

His wee head haloed by the bright sunshine just makes me love him more!

Closer...

Henryville Update:

We are getting closer.

Henry allows us within a few feet now, and he will sniff an outstretched finger.

Someone has touched his tailio too.

Pawsteps toward the title: Hopefully Soon To Be Formerly Feral

Trackball Education

Henry's trackball learning curve:

Well, that's not exactly playing!

He's learned to use the center scratching pad, but Henry's trackball action needs some work!

Aha!  He's got it...mostly....

So very thankful for Henry, and are looking forward to more of his adventures into housecathood.

Henry is so adorable, as he peeks out from the edge of the snuggley beddy, and artified with Lunapic.

Home

A few images of Henry:

The Hubby and I believe that Henry thinks of our yard as her home sweet home.

She appears to be quite fond of Da Boyz, while still fearful of humans.

However, each day I get a skosh closer, and have brushed her fur just a touch a few times.

At least she's not afraid of my phone camera!

Nature Girl

For Caturday, I tried to artify this image of Henry, but in the end, I just left it the way it was.

She's just adorable.

So thankful that she's finding her role as an Eastside Cats 'O' Cat.

Some more flora and fauna at Eastside Cats:

Polemonium reptans, Jacob's Ladder

Colias occidentalis, Western Sulphur or Golden Sulphur Butterfly

Arisaema triphyllum, Jack in the Pulpit

Zizia aurea, Golden Alexander

Felis catus, Henry

While not a conventional yard or garden set-up, am thankful the interesting array of plants that we have, and the critters that come to visit.

Tippy

We have confirmation that Henry was TNR'd; the ear tip is key!

We know folks don't like the idea of the ear tip, but now you can see its usefulness.

If Henry was living in a feral colony, the human caretakers can tell which cats were already spayed/neutered, and which had not...because of the ear tip. 

Henry continues to prefer to stay a distance from me, but he gives me many blinks every day, so I know that he knows, that we want to help him.

Am so very thankful for whomever TNR'd Henry; they are doing good work, and more gratitude for all who get out there to trap and take care of colonies of community cats.
