It has been 121 days, or almost 4 months since my captivity.
I have started to take advantage of having access to the whole house. I go between my room and the Warden's Office (when she is not working). I like her window, with a cabinet in front of it, it is harder for her to reach me.

| Showing Lady Warden I don't want to be picked up |
I come upstairs more. I like to come up when the people are downstairs or in the night. Styx and I like to zoom in the night. It keeps the Man Warden up, but Lady Warden uses earplugs and can't hear me. Gris will now hiss at me, but mostly she keeps her distance.
The Wardens have taken me off my meds again. I like this, but I am a little less trusting of them, made worse by the Lady Warden's need to hug and kiss me. She made me so mad, she had to give me a few days to forgive her. She knew I forgave her when I called for her one day as I needed some pets (no pick ups).

People said it would be impossible to make me want to live in a house. While I am not truly a house cat in the way Styx and Tigris are, I live here well. The Wardens hope I will become more comfortable, but if I don't, they would be totally ok with the rhythm of our life, me keeping my space, but not being unfriendly. We will see what happens.

we love to read in your diary.... maybe you can start a career as an parttime indoor cat with access to the world ? or is that not the best idea in the area you live?
ReplyDeleteWe also like reading your journal Lanie....and the way you are always keeping your wardens guessing!

I'm glad to hear you are doing well, Lanie. My paws are crossed that one day you will really love being an indoor cat.

ReplyDeleteI think you are one third of the way there, Lanie... each four months will find you just that little bit more relaxed, believing you have fallen on all fours and one day you will be able to accept and admit that Love has conquered! Hugs and whiskeries YAM-aunty xxx
It sounds like you are more comfortable with your living conditions, Lanie, as long as the humans accept you on your terms.
ReplyDeleteSafely indoors, well cared for and given your space, plus attention when you want it on your terms, it sounds like the best possible life for a formerly feral cat.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hear that you are starting to feel more comfortable in the house! :)

You're getting there, Lanie. More time is needed before you're totally at home and comfy.
