Aww Kat, the visual of Lenore cuddled up with your other cats was so
sweet. It kills me when people say cats aren't social. It's so not
true! They may not be "pack" animals, but they definitely are happier
being part of a family and every normal being needs to be touched.
You're such a good human to accept Leonore for who she is and understand
her, um, reserve, when it comes to you. Bless you my dear,
Nina

I also have a very feral black kitty,
named "Lenore" (after the lady in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven"). I had
her in a home made "Kitty Kastle" (roughly 6 foot by 6 foot by 2 feet
wide with plenty of platforms) for about a year. She never tamed down and
would just as soon rip my face off every time I tried to feed her/clean
the litter/etc. I finally just bit the bullet and let her out to
intermingle with the other cats. It took several months before she would
even let me see her, but now she will sit there and stare me down when I
enter the room. I still can't touch her, but she has established herself
with the other cats and I will find her sleeping curled up with them alot.
