How cute is Gretchen in these pictures!!!
So here's some good news.....We've been able to lure Gretchen up to the top of the steps using fried chicken and grilled sea mullets. She will even eat some of her wet food in front of us. She stayed on the platform of the stairs for over an hour with us on the porch. She took a nap and was even flirting by rolling around. This is the closest we've been to her since relocating her to our yard from her feral colony. It's great progress! If only we could get her to stay. Next week is our vacation/staycation and we plan on working a lot more with her and hopefully find her day hiding spot. Every night she comes from the house across from us. It's for sale and no one lives there. Perhaps she lives under the deck. We don't have many hiding spots on our property. She must feel safe over there.
Check out those lasers!

Yay for you and Gretchen!! Awwww! She's really looking lovely - laser eyes and all! I'm so glad she's coming to you more and more. I hope she realises it's much safer and happier to be with you than if she's in an abandoned house!
Me and Charlie have everything crossed for you and her!
Take care

Gretchen is such a cutie! We're glad she's making such great progress!

Gretchen is such a pretty girl and for her to venture all the way up the stairs proves she is very eager to get to know who is behind your door. Great progress indeed.
We will be posting our Life is Good award tomorrow please drop by if you can. It was fun. Some of the terms were very interesting. Did the award originate in England.
Happy hot Monday,
Madi and Mom
Oh Gretchen, good girl. Glad you are feeling more comfortable around the servants. She probably does feel safe across the street. A lot of my cats go next door under their house which is nuts because they can get under my house. Cats have their own definition of what is safe and nice.
Those are really cute pictures of her. Good to see you Gretchen.
What a good girl! I bet things will be great next week with all your hard work.
Wot good noos. We have a feeling yoo're gonna get lucky next week!
What good news that Gretchen is more settled with you and eating in front of you. We're keeping our claws and paws crossed that she might stay with you. You can be sure you'll be able to see her in the dark with her full beams!
Gretchen is adorable and such an adventure girl, the stairs is HUGE! :)
Cool sequence in this picture!

Gretchen is one lucky kitty to have you looking after her like that.
Gretchen is coming along really well! Fingers and paws crossed that her trust in you continues to grow. :-)
She's looking good. Hope you can get her to let you touch her and stay around with you! Good luck.
Those are some lazers!! The progress you have made with Gretchen is wonderful. It sounds like she is having food fit for a queen.:)
Gretchen sure knows what to do wif those lasers, YIKES!
It's so wonderful that Gretchen is making such progress with you! We hope next week is a huge success with her too!
Gretchen is a sweetheart; we hope you guys have luck getting her to stay around longer next week...Happy week sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
You Gretchen sounds just like our Zolie, except Zolie has moved into the upper area our garage, even had kittens in there. Mom longs to pet her, but can't get close. She will eat on the deck if mom is out there too. Slow progress. Maybe in time.....
Thank you so much for the nice anniversary wishes! We think that old joke about the "mosquito state bird" goes around in alot of states!!
Yea Gretchen!!!!! You keep hanging around Gretchen...and eating those goodies.
Hopefully with some more time she will hang around your place more!
I am so glad that she is getting more trustful, she looks like such a sweetie!
We are so happy you are making progress with her! Our little stray will watch me fill her bowls and come eat after the door is shut. She will come a little closer when I call her! Maybe some day we can get to know her
Yay!! We think it's only a matter of time!!
We think Gretchen is very brave to climb all those stairs....good for her=^Y^=
You are making great progress and I think Gretchen will stay with you.. What great lasers Gretchen has, ou can see her coming without any lights. Good luck.. Hugs GJ x
We are glad to see that Gretchen is getting more trusting of you.
It is really wonderful you keep making progress with her.
Oh, this is excellent news!
Progress is being made, keep diligent!
Gretchen has super laser eyes :)
It is so nice that she is feeling more comfy with you. We will send purrs that she comes closer to you and begins to trust you!!
Purrs Mickey,Georgia & Tillie
Lots of progress! Yay!
A Hav A Hart trap might get her inside for further socialization...
Gretchen is taking her time, because a cat can't be too careful, but we hope she will trust you very soon.
Oh we're so anxious for Gretchen to relax & let your humans be near (or nearer to) her!! Looks like they're making great progress, though!! Love the laser shot!!
Have a happy day!!
~Nico, Simon & JayJay :)
ps. Our Mom says THANK YOU for the award!! We'll let her post it later this week!! :):):):)
Gretchen doesn't need to worry with you looking out for her wellbeing. You are great!
your pal,
Bruce:)
We are so excited about the progress with Gretchen! We hope she will soon not be so scared!
