Default Shadow has turned into a *cat*

Its been touch and go with Shadow.

For a long time, i really didn't know what to do with her, whether we should
keep her or find her a better home. She was so afraid of everything, so
agressive towards Suki & Pickle, went potty all over the place and was
generally not a happy cat. "Shadow" suited her so well because she just
stayed in the shadows, scared

But inthe last week or so, she's turned into a house cat.

She's got between me & the keyboard. Sat on the keyboard. Head butted the
computer in such a way so as to turn it off mid World of Warcraft game.
She's jumped on my lap and demanded pettin's. Has been seen in other parts
of the house besides her two favourite haunts of in the kitchen and under
the dining room table. She was even in the bathroom after I came out of the
share and tried to groom my wet hair (the licking wasn't so bad, but she
nibbled as well). And now, i am very proud to say, was seen hunting
greeblings in the kitchen.

She still does her toiletting in the kitchen sink.

She is still very agressive towards Suki, but no longer bothers Pickle after
she and Pickle had one heck of a cat fight late one night that I guess
Pickle won.

She is still wary of Joel - he can give her scritches but woe betide if he
tries to pick her up (I can pick her up, not a problem). She's still abit
schizophrenic regarding Fluffy, sometimes she doesn't even notice Fluffy is
there, other times she hisses and claws. I am not sure, but I think she
might also be deaf, like Suki (and perhaps thats why they fight so, as
neither can hear the other's warnings)

But on the whole, she is behaving far more like a cat that is part of hte
family, a cat more confident to be do quirky cat things, a cat feeling safe
enough to play with greeblings.

I am very happy for her, and strongly suspect that she's already found her
home - here.
