Miss Ellie

Miss Ellie - after 1st combing

Recently we were seeing a gray cat going across the field in front of the house. Last Tuesday (18th) she came to the front door and let me pick her up and then feed her.  She was absolutely famished - actually near starvation as she was skin and bones and her gray fur was so dull and in need of some care.

The next day she was back -- twice :-)  Besides food that day she got a good combing.  She even made herself at home on & in the cat's house outside. 

Miss Ellie - after combing & food

The next day she was still around & I thought I'd made great progress. Twice a day she was eating a full can of food along with a good amount of dry food and drinking a lot of water too.

Then we didn't see her for a couple days.  Sunday night she returned but with the dogs outside she ended up in a tree. It took quite a while but she finally came down to me. Now she's only coming at night. I'd like to get her 9 pm visit moved to about 7.

We have great petting and talking sessions while she's eating. She's also quite lovey when she's held.  I'm pretty sure she's been declawed so I really would like to make some good progress before winter gets here.  Oh! her name -- Miss Ellie. I knew she'd be an Elegant Lady after she had some care so she became Miss Ellie. That's how I call for her in the evening & tonight she answered as soon as I called -- so once again I think I'm making progress :-)
