black short hairs are part Siamese, and Siamese cats are very social and people oriented. When I first noticed him outside, he was an ear-tipped TNR feral.

My Paris, who died last year, was a feral rescued as a kitten, and my Maine Coon Tortie, Tango, was a 10-week old feral kitten found in the warehouse district of Topeka, where there were several nests of feral cats.

My only non-feral, Lucy, is a lynx point Siamese mix whose mother was a regular tabby, but whose Siamese looks were inherited from her father. Lucy's mom, who belongs to my good friend, accidentally got out one week before her scheduled spaying and ended up pregnant. So Lucy wasn't adopted from the streets, but all my others were.

My fosters, former ferals, are coming around too. One slept half on my lap for the first time. The other walked on me twice for the second time. She still doesn’t want to stay yet !

This little guy too. Even turning on the light in the room he is living in is a wonderment to him.

I just adore this little sweetie!

Now my senior rescue girl has seen that he's in the house & the way she looked at me broke my heart. Sort of a "how could you?" Look.

about the little one? Reassure her that she is the Queen, and loved. I have a feeling she will come around. Sending lots more energy for healing and calm for all of you.

But I'm still getting the cold shoulder. I also explained he is no threat to her. He will never be loose in the house because of his FIV.

I hope she comes around. 😓

Ty again!
