Checking In With Gretchen



Here are some pics from over the weekend. On Friday night, Gretchen came on the porch 3 times... at 9pm, 10pm, and 12am. Check out Ferris and Gretchen locking laser eyes in the window!! A couple of times when the servants walked out on the porch to look for her, she was at the foot of the stairs and didn't run away when they saw her! They stayed and talked to her for a while.
These three kitties will soon be homeless and must be adopted asap. They don't have to be adopted together, but desperately need to be saved. Click on the graphic and help if you can!

I'm so glad that Gretchen keeps coming back! She looks too pretty and too sweet to be feral. I hope Ferris was telling her just that.

Gretchen is pretty brave to stay on the porch with those powerful lasers focused on her.

We hope those sweet kitties get forever homes soon.

She's getting braver and braver!!

Hannah and Lucy said...

Gretchen is getting braver - she must be considering adopting you!!
Loved the laser eyes - no need for a torch with them about. We hope those kitties get a good home soon.

Marg said...

That is such a great shot, with Ferris and Gretchen staring at each other. It sounds like Gretchen is getting really used to the servants. We have a kitty that is a porch kitty but she will let me pat her on her neck only. No picking up.
You are really making some progress which is just great.
Wish I could take those three kitties and I would but I just can't afford it. I sure hope they do find homes.
Have a great week.

It is happy news to hear that Gretchen is becoming more at ease with you, and doesn't run away when you come out.

maybe Gretchen will start sticking around!

YAY that gretchen keeps coming back! We LOVE the lasers!!! Maybe one of these nights, your mom will be able to coax her with some HAM and catch her good!

CCL Wendy said...

It seems that the way to Gretchen's heart is through food. You are all being so patient, and letting her get to know you now. Maybe one day soon she'll let you touch her, and then pick her -- much better than a trap.

Angel Ginger Jasper said...

I am so glad Gretchen is getting braver and staying around. I love the lazer eyes. I so hope those three pretty kitties get forever homes. Hugs GJ xx

Mickey's Musings said...

That is good about Gretchen! Our outside kitty will watch Mom put her food out and after the door closes, she will come eat! Today she even walked toward Mom when she was called!
