What a sweet kitty! Glad you've got her safe and secure . . . give her enough reason to stay in and she'll do so. I had an older roamer who, once settled in the house, rarely bothered to even go into the garden!

haven't tried picking her up yet, i thought she mite bite me. This was the first time she let me pet her, so maybe next time I'll try picking her up. I would hate for her to bite me after showing me some trust and then never trusting me again.

Re: Sick cat foud way out of home, do I need to send her back to kennel?


Fianal Update!

I was able to pick her up and place her in my bedroom. I put her litter box, water bowl and food bowl in my room too.


She has a scratching post, but not the kind you climb on, a ball with a bell in it and a stuffed animal to play with and her kitty bed. Is that enough to keep her mind occupied? I will of course spend plenty of time with her too.

I am going to get some wire mesh and staple it over the hole she used to get out and a few other places I am worried about, then I plan to give her free run of the house again. I feel so bad with her locked up int he bedroom but I told Happy it was only temporary.

Any advice in general?

That sounds like an excellent program to me, well thought out. Glad you could pick her up. You're calling her Happy? Like the name!

Maybe a Feliway diffuser to keep her calm, and perhaps a catnip mouse? Not all cats react to catnip, though.

Thanks for the update.

I just returned from the largest Western style pet store in Bangkok and they don't have anything like Feliway diffuser as far as I can tell.

I did pick up a box of 100% organic cat nip but I am not exactly sure what to do with it. Any suggestions?

Seems like my cat is one of the 15% that doesn't respond to catnip haha.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway, because I will cover the hole she uses to get outside and then she can occupy her time running all over the house.
