Heh, good posts Skuzzy/etc, always makes me laugh, seeing cats hone their hunting skills, especially with another cat, or even dog. That's a huge cat for 4 months, how much does she weigh now?
My father's new monster, been a great addition for him since my mother died last month. She came from an abusive home and environment, and was allowed out to roam free at the SPCA, but had been taken home twice by others, and returned. She would hide, which made her unattractive to keep I guess. She hid on us for a couple days too, but gentle coaxing, lots of cat treats, and patience, has yielded a very friendly and trusting cat for my father. Now you can't get her down off his bed, I catch him talking to her quite a bit now, again, she's been great for him. I ordered the best cat food that the vet recommended, both hard and soft, and she has obviously put on about 2 or 3 lbs from her skinny condition when I picked her up. She also has begin playing with the cat condo and toys I bought for her, all good signs she's going to be OK. Best $25 I've spent in a long time, the effect that small amount of money has had on my father is incredible. That small fee included all her shots, the first vet visit free/paid for by the SPCA, in addition to them having already spayed her. She's 18 months old, and I hope is with my father for a long, long time.
