My boyfriend and I take care of a feral colony and do TNR.


Last year we caught a litter of kittens and their mother. Mama cat is a dilute tortie and so is one of the kittens.

We were able to find homes for 2 of the kittens but the other 3 just refused to be tamed.



They were utterly terrified so we just spayed and neutered them and released them. After another 3 months or so, all three of the feral kittens decided to come inside and they all eventually decided that our house was home.

The fifth kitten we caught, we never got around to naming her because once we had her, we were able to take them all to be fixed, so we just called her Five. Five eventually starting answering to Pretty Girl and so now her name is Pretty Girl Five. She is a dilute tortie. She's also one of the sweetest cats I've ever met.

Pretty definitely stares at us, but I think it's more of a factor of her being the cat in charge. And I don't know if I can contribute to the vocal/not vocal thing. Pretty acts like most feral cats. She doesn't make any noise. I'm trying to encourage her and her siblings to talk more by rewarding them any time they meow, purr or trill. It is slow going

This whole tortitude thing, I think I'm experiencing it. Our little dilute tortie is practically attached to me at all times. She runs ahead of me when she knows where I'm going, follows me everywhere, and anytime I'm sitting or laying down she's cuddled against me. She allows the other cats to get pets from me, but only if she gets the same amount or more. She's really amazing. She's only about 1 1/2 years old, but the more mature she gets, the cooler her personally becomes
