Meet Lil’ Bit

AwwwMondays

This little one showed up several weeks ago, rail thin and hungry. We got food for it and put it out for it to eat. We would see the kitty here and there, but the food was disappearing so we knew he/she was eating. Now this little one is here most of the time and I feed Fancy Feast twice a day. We have an automatic dry food dispenser and we give it bits throughout the day. It would run off and hide at first and now it stays right there waiting for me to set the food down. Our goal is to make this little one an indoor kitty. We already have lots of kitty things and need much more. A trip to the vet is down the road as well. Right now we are being patient and letting this little one accept us on its terms.

    What a sweet kitty. He/she looks very relaxed so I think it is only a matter of time before indoor life beckons.

    What an absolute beauty, I do hope he/she realises very soon they’ve found themselves a forever home and will be able to live indoors xxxx

      Sandee says:

      I think that’s the case already. It’s just getting it inside. I don’t think it’s ever been an inside kitty. Looks pretty young. I think it was weaned and dumped. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      We’re hoping just that. I think this little one will let us make it an indoor kitty soon. 🙂

    It’s beginning to trust you, so hopefully it won’t take too long before you can bring it inside to live. It’ll be a far better life for it.

      Sandee says:

      It is trusting us. Used to run away during feeding time and now it’s right there as I put the bowl down. I’ve touched it a few times. 🙂

    Little bit the cat version. when he or she is ready, it will decide to explore the inside of the house and decide to make it a home. You are already it’s staff. here in Ohio they either decide to adopt a human or die in the winter weather.

    OMC…what a cutie. Good luck turning this handsome/pretty cat into a nice companion. I’m sure the food is helping. 😻

      Sandee says:

      It’s helping. It was sad looking when we first saw it. It’s looking pretty healthy now. It’s getting more friendly each day. Still is leery being touched, but I’ve touched him/her many times. We love this fur-ball already. 🙂
