Frieda at the Farm

Frieda thinking about not coming out of the box.

Frieda hasn't made any friends on the farm yet. She keeps to herself, eats after the other cats have eaten and runs if a human approaches. Amy's dad is determined to tame her.

She has had at least one run-in with the cat-eating dog. She lost a bit of fur, kind of like she used to lose fur in the kitchen when I accidently stepped on her (at least once a week).

Socks sat on my lap most of last evening as the family watched The Return of the King. Socks is a very people-oriented cat. He has only one fault--he likes what we eat. He is used to eating scraps of people food and is very much attracted to it. When he jumps up on the kitchen counter looking for food we thow him off repeatedly, sometimes 15 times in a row. Now he jumps down as soon as he sees someone approach.

Good luck trying to "tame" this poor kitty in this terrifying situation. Terrifying for her.
Don't understand why you abandoned her......and then got another kitty and try to recondition him.
Maybe you are not really cut out to be a pet owner.

Don't worry, Frieda will adapt to the surroundings.
