"Momma Cat" was totally skittish; I couldn't get near her. However, she had her "safe space"; if she was on Dad's bed, she'd purr and let you pet and skritch her, etc.! It was an amazing transformation and it was echoed in another feral cat we adopted, named Butterscotch (yeah, she was white with orange patches). Also totally skittish but in this case, the "safe space" was the couch and my brother's bed. Same deal. Perhaps you just need to find Misty's safe space. :-)
Black-capped chickadees are small (slightly smaller than titmice) birds with a black top of the head. Their distinctive call is how they got their name; it sounds like, "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee." I'm sure Google Images has a zillion pictures of them.
I miss having the feeders in the back yard but I don't miss the work of refilling them in the winter!
