It has been 51 days since my capture. It has been 2.5 weeks since my surgery and my regular use of gabapentin.
I still remain a very cranky cat. I am not happy with any of this. I don't care it was -25C/-13F without the wind this week. I don't like living in my prison. It is not made cuter by the Lady warden calling it Lanie's room. It is not made more fun by the Lady warden making up little songs and dancing (she is a terrible singer and dancer).
In spite of my anger and misgivings (which is a very polite word way to say it), apparently my progress is very exciting to not only my wardens, but the people they are sharing my story with. Apparently, people ask about me. I don't like this, I don't like people. I don't want people talking to me or about me.
The Lady warden says I should share some of this week's progress. Styx showed he spends some supervised time at a distance from me. If we are too close, we both hiss. Mostly we just stare at each other.

| Lady Warden got a licky treat stick and I begrudgingly started to eat from it. Licky is good, even if people are bad. |
 |
| Eating off the stick wasn't enough for the Lady warden, sometimes, she requires me to take a little licky off her finger. Don't worry, she gets told off with hisses and growls before I ever so gently lick the food off. |
 |
| There have even been some small attempt to touch me. So far, I have not bitten anyone. |
The wardens are very excited about all of this. I am wondering if Stockholm syndrome is starting.
you are very wise... and we think that is something from sweden...
ReplyDeleteHave they explained to you about the man named Santy Paws ... ask if he is allowed to visit you in purr-son, you might like him a lot, he usually brings very good things to little cats ...

ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to smuggle your message out of the cell, Lanie, so that we can hear your side of the story... Look, licky stuff is all good and well, but what about the other end of things? How are you finding contained eliminations? Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
I'm glad to hear you are letting the wardens get closer to you, Lanie. My hope (and your wardens too) is that one day you will love being petted and part of the family.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn’t laugh….but before long I have a feeling you’ll be singing a different tune, and jailhouse rock will long be forgotten!
ReplyDeleteLanie, that licky stuff is pretty good. Hold out for more!
