Progress, but not for very long.

That's for sure. You just never know. But he'll come around at some point, and I can't wait until he'll climb into my lap for some love.

As far as I know, he used to have a home. This is what I'd heard from a neighbor down the street. So he's not feral, just a stray. The kitten will sit in anyone's lap, she's fine with it, and she was born in the wild.

I've never had a truly feral cat climb in my lap, but I have had some cats who weren't actually feral do so, they had been pets as young cats but become afraid because they were put out when they weren't "cute kittens" any more and became intact toms. Now, Gizmo, who is... well, he was the most feral of a litter of kittens we took in and the only one in the family (including the mother) we didn't place because of it, he'll climb on top of me if I'm laying down, but laps... nope Sparky is the same way, but he's not afraid if he's on my bed and I walk up, only every where else!

I just started with the antibiotic. I think he's calmer because the morphine hasn't quite worn off yet. I have to give him his second dose of antibiotic before I go to bed. Hoping that tomorrow is better for both of us.

I don't think he got a shot there. He likes that spot for hiding, it's cool, quiet and away from everyone. But I think he tolerates me more there than in the cage. The carrier bottom is in the cage with a towel in it, so hopefully he'll go sleep there at night. I think he's finally aware that I'm not here to hurt him, and thankfully he's finally learning it.
