Re: Shy
I have one of those, the photo is her. But to call her shy would be an understatement. She, Cheyenne (it's all in the name) was a black 4 year old rescue cat from the RSPCA. She was terrified of everything but I was unable to find out anything regarding her past history. So with no experience at all...

Re: Does it get any easier?
From my own experience it does get easier. But that doesn't mean to say over time that you no longer have those sad thoughts of a furry friend that is no longer with you. When I had to have my 16 year old cat Rudi PTS I, like most of the people on this forum who have lost a feline was devastated by ...

Re: Cat won't use cat flap
Hi meriad, what I intend doing is, if I see her out there tonight I will try to entice her through the now deactivated cat flap. Unfortunately I can't leave the cat flap taped open all night as it would be a come in invitation for some of the other local furries. If I know she is out there but still...

Re: Cat won't use cat flap
Hi Sarah thank you for your thoughts, she turned up about 8pm last night. A post from andybriz suggested not letting her in via the door to entice her to use the cat flap. However just before 8pm I went to the back door with a torch (black cats are notoriously difficult to spot in an unlit garden). ...

Re: Cat won't use cat flap
Hi andybriz that is useful info and that's the flap I have. I think the click noise it make (which I can't hear) I hasten to add might be the key factor. I will take your advice hard as it will be to resist letting her in. One wonders why she doesn't stay around the back garden area but disappears f...

Cat won't use cat flap
Recently a cat has been coming into the house at night via the cat flap. My cat lives in an upstairs bedroom where it has everything it requires to make it happy and relaxed. The other morning I got up to find my cats' bed all rumpled up, her food bowl empty and her missing, which was unusual as she...

Re: After some advice on a seemingly permanently frightened
Hi Lloyd. I was beginning to think I had a one off with Cheyenne (that's her photo on the left). I think her and Morgan would make a great albeit very nervous pair. I, like you, got her as a 4 year old rescue. I understood that she was nervous but felt heaps of TLC would overcome it. Well two years ...

Re: Cheyenne a quick update.
High bobbys girl. Well yes I regularly sit and chat as she eats. The problem is if you try and move a hand ever so slightly towards her she stops eating and looks for a bolt hole/escape route. The withholding food idea might have worked in Tommy's case and it's nice to hear it did. But knowing Cheye...

Cheyenne a quick update.
Well it's been 20 months since I rescued Cheyenne. Timid would not even begin to describe how she was then. Since then she has become very much an outdoor roamer. I am sure some of you will remember how she went missing for seven days, then, just turned up again looking fit and healthy. Where she we...

The place that she lays is not where I go to remember her, as she will always with me anyway. Take heart from knowi...

Re: Cheyenne Returns
It's a real catch 22 situation. Trap her and start the bonding programme. She may resent it and leave for good. Continue to give her her freedom she may like it so much she leaves for good. My preferred poison is letting her have, I hope, a safe freedom. I tried feral training from a web site not su...
