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.

She's jumped on my lap and demanded pettin's. Hooray! Had she done that before? If not, that must have been nice. And now, i am very proud to say, was seen hunting greeblings in the kitchen. Finally earning her keep!! She still does her toiletting in the kitchen sink. Does she pee and poop in the sink, or just pee? (And if she just pees in the sink, where does she poop?) 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. Perhaps now that that is settled, they will get along? 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. That's very encouraging! I'm glad to hear it. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

I hate to say it, but there are worse places. However, maybe as she gains confidence, she'll figure that part out too. Glad to hear she is coming out of her shell. |

Is there any place you could put one just for her? Maybe she doesn't want to share one. Joy |

Soon she'll be a lap fungus- give yourself a round of applause, a pat on the back, pour yourself a cold beer (I am raising a can of well chilled Stella to you!) other people would have given up but you had the patience to let her come round at her own pace- you're wonderful!
