I updated my notes on the four ferals last night, and I realized they’ve been in my care for four weeks.<\/p>\n
Pretty Boy Foyd, Delta, and Ruby are all socializing pretty well.\u00a0 They are avoiding us less and are easier to catch when we want to catch them.\u00a0 Normally, I wait until three of them self-crate after being out for a while, then I close the crate and catch the fourth — usually Floyd.\u00a0 If I had to say, I’d estimate Floyd is the most adoptable at this point.<\/p>\n
Rossie is the shyest of the four.\u00a0 She is spending more time out of the carrier.\u00a0 She’s also lurking more in the shadows when outside of the crate.\u00a0 She’s not anxious to deal with us, but she’s becoming curious.\u00a0 Hubby put his finger through the bars of the crate today, and she leaned forward to sniff instead of running to the carrier.\u00a0 She did the same for me a few minutes later.\u00a0 She wants to play, but she doesn’t want to venture to the center of the room to do so yet.\u00a0 We toss her toys, and she plays.<\/p>\n
I’m still finding little patches of the ringworm — mostly on Ruby, so we’re still treating that as we find it.\u00a0 Fur is growing back on the top of Ruby’s head.\u00a0 It was a small patch.<\/p>\n
Ruby and Delta are not exactly the same, but I still have trouble telling them apart.\u00a0 Both are bengal-patterned kitties — I call them the Bengal Girls.\u00a0 Delta is five pounds and Ruby is three pounds, so size is a factor, but it’s not as noticeable as you would think.<\/p>\n
The three outgoing kittens have learned to leap onto the bed — no small feat since it’s three feet off the floor.\u00a0 I don’t think Rossie has ventured into the bedroom when we had the door open.\u00a0 She is coming into the kitchen now, and that’s a big step forward for Rossie.\u00a0 The fun part about the kittens learning to jump on the bed, is that seems to have coincided with them becoming interesting to Tarzan.\u00a0 After initially being afraid of the kittens, Tarzan will now play with Floyd.\u00a0 From watching the ears, Tarzan is playing, but Floyd gets serious — especially when Tarzan is winning at whatever game they are playing.<\/p>\n
I added two old bathroom rugs (freshly washed) to their crate, and all the kitties love lying on them.<\/p>\n
