🎃 Stray Kitten Report 8:
Little Charly found a role model in Noutti, my red tabby cat (also my inspiration for Carrot, in my comics), and thanks to that, got a speedrun education in 'how to cat' at home, including meowing at the bed in the morning, sleeping around when I'm drawing, asking for cuddles on the sofa.
It's so easy when this happens. I consider him now fully domesticated. 🎉
@davidrevoy "Chats partout, croquettes nulle part !"
@davidrevoy this is how it started for us.
@davidrevoy 🥹 they're so cute
@davidrevoy that makes me so happy! He still has one of the cutest faces I've ever seen 🥹
@davidrevoy did he also learn to be orange?
@RustyNova 🤯 ... Now I want to design a chameleon cat character for a comic. The potential!
@davidrevoy I was more thinking about orange cat behavior... but glad I could nerd snipe a fellow artist
And I think I got an idea for an orange cat shapeshifter now...
@davidrevoy
What about Charlotte?
@oots Charlotte still lives outside. Each day I bring her food closer inside the house, but the interiors still terrifies her.
She has a total different approach than Charly; and she doesn't learn from other cats, including her own brother.
She meow super loudly and often, it's her favorite way to communicate.
But we are doing progress: yesterday, she accepted to come close to my hand and smell it.She also did the rounded back, with tail up when she saw me, with happy eyes. 💜
@davidrevoy What about the mom ?
@Sobex We never could approach the mom; always a distance of 3, 4m and running away at any quick movements.
Two weeks ago, she started to be aggressive to the kittens, until a point where she returned to the forest... She still visits at night and we feed her, but behave with the kittens as if they were strangers. I have no hope for domesticating her.
But at one point, I'll have to catch her, and bring her to the vet for sterilization; or we'll have another stray kitten delivery next year.
@davidrevoy good luck for it 🍀🤞
@davidrevoy ❤️ This makes me so happy.
