Nifty's Feral Kitty Adventure

[Nifty-Chicken]

Kitty was getting more and more comfortable with us / coming into the house... then all of a sudden 2 days ago she's been TOTALLY skittish!

Wondering if something happened to her outside, or even at some point inside.

She went from wandering around inside the house a bit to coming in just fast enough to grab a treat, then take it outside to eat it.

Hopefully she'll come back to the path of trusting us more.

Just wondering have you gotten any new furniture or put up any new decorations?

Hmm... no changes inside that we can think of.

She comes by every night a little after dusk and meows at the back door to come in for some treats.

She's still pretty skittish (like she'll jump at any sudden moves or movements towards her) and often runs for the door, but if we're calm / quiet, she'll have no problem coming and taking a treat from right next to us. In fact, the other day I was on the floor and put a treat on my knee. She climbed up on my leg at ate the thread off my knee. Pretty cool!

Here she is at the foot of my desk begging asking for some treats:

Quite the talker!

What kind of treats does she like most?

She seems to really like the "Temptations" brand we got at the Dollar Tree.

I also gave her some canned tuna right after she caught the first rat and she was DEFINITELY very happy about that

The Temptations, are those the little dry treats?

We used to leave the door part way open for her to let us know that she's here in the evening, but now that it's getting colder and more bugs are trying to get in, we can't leave the door open

Mine like those too! They also like those Fancy Feast cans.

Install a cat door!
