This is Indie (aka Baby), the baby of the house. She took up residence under our deck about the time Finn came to live with us. I remember taking Finn out to potty in the dark and he would be interested in something off in the dark. We would point our flashlight in that direction and see two bright eye reflections. She was very skiddish and not interested in meeting us at all.
I borrowed a live trap and set it with some soft canned food one evening. She must have been hungry – we had her trapped in a matter of hours. Shortly after that, she was purring in Jackie’s arms. Indie picked us. Her hair is long and as soft as silk. Still skiddish, she prefers to lay with Jackie on the couch. Sometimes she visits me as I work on the computer.
She loves to sit in the window.
Oddly enough, she has become friends with Scout. Scout wants to play with the cats, and the cats have no interest in this game. She is not aggressive, she is simply playful. For the past month or so, Indie has been friends with Scout – even rubbing up against her. The others still hiss at Scout when she comes by. Maybe it is because when Indie moved in we already had Finn and she is used to the dog kind.
Indie and Scout.
