A stray kitten transformed into a needy cat once exposed to the comforts of indoor living.
Ashley Morrison welcomed Potato the kitten to her rescue center, Kitten Academy in Washington. Potato was a shy cat, who had spent her early days outside and was raised by a feral cat. Due to lack of human interaction, she had picked up some feral tendencies from her mother and was scared to interact with humans. Ashley treated Potato for an upper respiratory infection and gave her a bath to remove flea dirt from her coat.
Potato came into this world as a feral cat, residing in a neighborhood. However, her life took a different turn when she was discovered by Ashley Morrison, the founder of Ashley’s Kitten Academy. Although Potato was initially frightened, she couldn’t resist the comfort of being swaddled in a towel after receiving a thorough cleaning. This experience led to her first cuddle and a moment of peace. With the help of Ashley, Potato was able to relax in a cozy and serene environment that allowed her to adjust and feel safe. In just a day, she began seeking human interaction, a sign that she was starting to trust and feel comfortable in her new surroundings.
After a refreshing cleaning session, Ashley Morrison felt a boost in her spirits. The joy felt by everyone when the kitten first mastered the litter box was immense. This achievement marked the end of Potato’s days of fending for herself and the beginning of a new life. When Blossom, a fellow resident cat, visited Potato, the new kitten didn’t hold back from displaying her sass by acting tough. However, Blossom saw through Potato’s bravado and accepted her as a tiny but feisty addition to the group.
Blossom, the feline who lives in the house, approached little Potato for a warm welcome. Potato adapted quite well to her new life as an indoor cat, and when she met Thelma and Bonnie, two foster kittens, she was eager to befriend them. Despite being confined to her pen, Potato attempted to play with them. However, once she was let out, she enjoyed a fantastic day with her new companions. Playing with them brought so much joy to her furry little heart.
Thelma and Bonnie were enjoying a cozy snuggle with Potato, who was slowly gaining confidence with the help of her foster family and furry companions. She was bravely venturing out into the world and exploring new surroundings.
She began by experiencing extreme bursts of energy while on the couch and slowly made her way to explore the other parts of the room.
According to Ashley Morrison, the adorable creature in her care is now seeking her attention regularly, and no longer cowers under the bed in fear of human interaction. The little one has gained confidence and now darts around the house with remarkable agility, bouncing like a bunny. It’s worth noting that this precious being is as tiny as a potato!
When Ashley calls out the name of her furry friend Potato, the adorable pet dashes towards her in an instant. Potato loves cozying up either on a soft blanket or on a warm lap and is always open to sharing its space with pals.
Potato, who had recently overcome some health problems, was feeling more lively and affectionate than ever before. One day, she stumbled upon Ashley’s sleeping quarters (her bed), and made herself comfortable alongside her.
After stumbling upon her foster mother’s bed, the feline decided to snuggle up and spend the night. Ashley Morrison, the caregiver, recounted how the cat slept soundly under her chin, next to her hand, and even on top of her head throughout the night. The next morning, the kitty came down for breakfast and to use the litter box but quickly made her way back to the comfortable bed. Ashley was happy to oblige and now lets the feline sleep next to her every night.
Ashley Morrison reports that the potato is doing well and has gained weight, exceeding one pound since being brought in at 14 ounces. The potato spends its time either playing with its companions or relaxing by the window, enjoying the warm sunshine and living the high life.
