Sneaky Pete AKA Petie was a wild feral cat when I first caught a glimpse of him in the garden. He was very hungry too, so getting him to eat in the trap and get used to being in there was an easy task. Once I set the trap - I caught him. He travelled to the Maui Humane Society to be neutered, vaccinated and have his ear notched. He came home groggy but quickly came to his senses as the day turned to night. I had no idea how he would react when I opened the trap to release him but when I did, I received a pleasant surprise. Petie was purring and rubbing on ankles, hands, and any other areas of me he could reach. It took many months but he is now my happy indoor/outdoor pet, who by the way, now sleeps with me too.  Not all feral cats can be turned around but with patience and some good food J, it can be accomplished.  Submitted by: Pam Brachmann
