🍂 Stray Kitten Report 9 (1/2)
Charlotte, the little female, is now less terrified of being indoors. At first, she wouldn't put a single paw inside. Getting her in has taken long sessions of nudging her with food and play. By the end of the week, she was grooming herself on a chair and even slept for a little while. Well, 1h max. We still can't pet her, but it's a lot of progress for this little wild one.

🍂 Stray Kitten Report 9 (2/2)
Also, big news: we always thought the black cat who came with the kitten was the mother, until I finally could pet her, she raised her tail and... obviously a male.
Once Blacky (named for his coat, obviously) trusted me, the real mother, Grisouille ("little greyish one" in Fr) came out of the forest and joined. She had been hiding. Both are now very friendly.
I've contacted the vet, and we'll soon sterilize them all. A bit pricey, but we saved since Sept for that.
