In reply to the discussion: I need some advice from people who are cat savvy (UPDATED WITH PICTURES) [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)I have to run to the doctor, but I talked with the PAWS rep this morning. I told her I had been keeping Nikita's food out only when I am standing nearby, but the gray cat started to approach one night even when I was there. It might be possible for PAWS to trap the gray cat, have it checked out, and released in another area.
But I am getting an answer to the ear tipping question soon. Her initial reaction was that it was the type of mark vets do here, they cut off the tip of the ear, but she said it is on the wrong ear. She is going to try to talk to the vet and I emailed her the pictures for reference.
Thank you for replying, I need all the help I can get. I will tell you though the PAWS lady not to pick up Nikita at this point because she will probably scratch me and run away. She said all the work that has gone into building her trust will be gone. So I am just taking it one step at a time. But I am thinking of trying to put the food inside the door, leaving it open, and seeing if I can coax her in. In another post I wrote the night of the storm I mentioned she made 3 or 4 attempts to come in but just couldn't quit talk herself into it. She turned around and went back out. The four time, however, she totally came in, looked around, and again exited. I am letting her be the pace car so you can do what she wants at the time she wants.
We are making progress, and maybe that is all I can ask for for now.
