Smudge was living outdoors when a caretaker took him into her home. She was able to work on socialization him, despite his extreme shyness. She knew she couldn’t keep him forever because of her other cats, so she looked for somewhere else for him to go as he continued to progress.
Current Status:
taff has recently started working on target training with Smudge, using our pointer finger as the target to try to be able to pet him soon. It is a slow process but he’s doing great, not even flinching when we put our hands up to him. He loves the churu treats and will come right up to you for them which helps make training much easier. He loves to play in his cat tree, especially if the toy is fuzzy!
