Kitty Update #2
They’re making great strides. Hannah comes out from under the bed regularly now. It used to take quite a bit of coaxing, but now she practically comes out as soon as she sees my face, unless she doesn’t feel like moving at all. Even that makes me happy b/c that is typical cat behavior. They don’t do anything they don’t feel like doing. Yesterday she poked her head out and even though she saw me looking she went on and did what she wanted to do. I’ve also caught her exploring my closet.
Last night she kept running back and forth from their room to mine to eat. But she would run to her room, eat a little and run back. I imagine that explains all the running I hear at night. It also makes me wonder if she’s the one that throws up occasionally. 4 times I’ve found a partially digested pile on my carpet somewhere, but you can still see the shapes in the food as if whoever threw it up had just eaten. I wonder if Hannah doesn’t let her food digest before playing. That definitely sounds more like her than Candace.
Candace is really chill. She doesn’t do much, but desperately loves to be petted. She is happy with me just being in the same room as she is. She used to spend her day between my bookcases and would purr quite loudly if I hung out in there. Since CW accidentally scared her she’s been under my bed with Hannah and I wake up to her purring now. Now she and Hannah take turns coming to me when I go down to visit and when its Candace’s turn she is selfish. If I start to pet Hannah with my other hand, Candace will go to that one and push Hannah out of the way.
Candace as come fully out from under the bed twice now. She only stays out for a few seconds and is clearly very nervous for those few seconds, but its a start. She does love to be petted though. Is petted the right word or is the past tense of pet still pet?? Hmmm. . .
Anyway my girls are fabulous. They are slowly testing their boundaries while I’m awake, i assume to see if I’m going to be mean to them like their previous owners. Hannah is really enjoying testing me and getting more comfortable with it, but I wonder if she trusts CW. Of course it could just be b/c they spend a lot more time with me. The other night she was about to come back into my room, and he was trying to tell her that it was okay for her to come in. She started talking, which is unusual for her. As soon as I peaked my head out so she could see that I was also in the room, she came in. I guess seeing me made her feel safe.
I’m getting closer to having crazy playful kitties in my house all day
