Tamara, you made me feel much better – I will certainly do so when I see her again, and hopefully very soon!

Yeah, it was a bit surprising to me, she stared me for about 15 sec. from a distance, and she ran, and stopped, and she looked at me again for about 15 sec. or so, and ran again, and stopped and turned around towards me and looked at me again and finally went to someone’s yard.  From what the tenants and the owner described how she reacted when she saw them, she just ran away as quickly as she could without stopping at all.  There was definitly something between Squeekie and me, I hope.  I certainly hope that we are right.

 

The owner knows that I am in the process of catching her again, and she is definitely ok with it.

I am probably going to keep her with me – I will not be able to release her to wild after what happened to her.  I know that she is always going to be skittish and I may not be able to pet her – but again, that’s how a half of my cats behave – I try to socialize them slowly – some of them, I can now pet them gently after three or four years later, and others, I might never be able to – but that’s ok – I know they like being where they are – I just know that they are comfortable and happy (exception of a few fights among some) –

Tamara – please pray that I will be able to catch Squeekie very soon – it hurts me to think that she is out there (we had a few inches of snow during the last a day two)

.

I am planning to stake out again during the daytime tomorrow to see if I can catch her – I took a day off from work – I hope I will see her and trap her then.

 

Thank you,

 

Hugs,

 

Hideyo

Hideyo,

 

I believe you interpreted Squeekie's eye contact conversation correctly.  No its not silly.  Animals are smarter than most give them credit for, and unlike humans, animals are not quick to forget a kindness.  Next time you see her, talk to her softly...use the slow blink that cats often use to say 'hi", and play it by heart.

 

I am curious what you plan to do with her should you manage to catch her again?  Just worried that if your neighbor sees her out again...she might be caught and released yet again.
