Precious before she was uprooted.              Below Precious when she arrived

                                    

 

Precious was the first to be unloaded she did not panic as bad as Nabacha during the transfer, she did rub fur off her face but not to the extinct Nabacha did. But she was terrified when when took her carrier off the truck, again all that was home and safety to her was now gone. Once we placed the carrier in the walkway and opened the slide gate she went straight into the cage walked around a little then settled into the spot above, and seemed quite relaxed. But sometimes looks can be deceiving, it was just the calm before the storm. She would call to you and come running to be petted, but once she got close and realized you were not who she thought you were you would then get the hiss and nasty look . Not a happy kitty, but this too would change in a very short time.

We were told that Precious was the one who loved to be petted and would beg for attention from anyone. But for her every thing has changed and she was now in a cage with Nabacha instead of being next to her. All these adjustments, new home, new cage, sharing her space, strangers, but one thing was familiar she had her den box too. Precious retreated to her den box and spent several days in there coming out just once in a while to see if it was all a dream or had she really been moved from all she knew. One plus is that both Precious and Nabacha ate for me the first day and the next morning, since then feeding time has not been a problem. Some cats will refuse to eat when they have been moved.

It took Precious about a week to come out of her shell, but she too is now being petted and much happier.  Now that both sides of the cage are done and she has more space she has mellowed out even more. Below she relaxes by the divider waiting for the other side to get done. They both sit and watch as the roof has gone up and the den box was built. They pace the fence waiting to be let in to the new cage. She has given in to attention and decide that life here is pretty good, a lot more room to run than she had before and a nice mister system above to keep her cool on hot days. Since they came another addition has been built and yet another cougar has come to be with us Baby is the newest.

Today both Precious and Nabacha now share a large new addition to the other cage, where they can run and play or just rest on the platforms together.  Their new addition is about 16 foot wide and about 64 feet long.

 Below Precious is letting it be know in no uncertain terms she does not want anymore photos taken, isn't she Precious.
