A couple of weeks ago, I drove to the Brooklyn Animal Care & Control to pick up Kisser, a small framed black kitty. She is a year old and very friendly.
When I put her in the car, she was crying in the cardboard box carrier they provide. So, I pulled her out and sat her in my lap. Driving with a cat in your lap is a feat but it seems to relax some of the frightened critters. I took her staraight to one of our first foster moms, Regan, who immediately took to her. The next day I came by and discovered Kisser was hiding under the bed. So, we brought her out into the living area and closed the bedroom and bathroom doors so she could not hide. Sometimes this is necessary with the skiddish cats so they can acclimate more easily. Feral cats are "turned" usually by keeping them in a bathroom until they are ready for more human contact but Kisser was is not feral.
Since then she has grown very comfy of her little basket-bed and goes there to cue Regan when she wants some loving!
