2 years of Rose!!

Today is Rose's Gotcha Day!! Two years ago I rescued her from the engine compartment of a truck in front of the house. She was so little and scared.

Sept 18, 2010

Sept 29, 2010
She has grown into a pretty adult kitty over the two years.


She continues to be very fearful of humans, however since I started intentionally not making eye contact she has mellowed quite a bit.

Rose is our only indoor kitty with yellow eyes.


She loves to hang out on the warm stove.


Today, she will get special treats, which is easier said than done. She doesn't let us get near her for any reason, including to give her treats, we have to throw them across the floor over to where she is hiding and then we hold back Theo and Nahum from running to steal her treats. Maybe for her special day we will lock everyone else up and let her savor her treats from her special safe spot under the love seat.

    Happy gotcha day Rose! And thank you for continuing to care for such a kitty. Not many would continue to help a kitty that wouldn't let them get close.

    What a beautiful girl!!! HAPPY GOTCHA DAY ROSE!! Poor baby, had to be terrified in that engine compartment!
    I am hoping that with each passing day she will become less and less afraid

    It's really too bad that she is so fearful still. I hope that lessens for her sake. It can't be fun to be anxious all the time. :(
