Our feline visitor continues to hang around the house, although he/she is still quite skittish. Deborah has been doing her best Jane Goodall impression by parking herself in a nonthreatening position on the deck or in the yard within eyeshot of the kitten. She places food between herself and the kitten at ever decreasing distances. Last night the savory smell of tuna drew the little fluff ball within just a few feet of Deborah. We’ll keep working at it but this socialization process could be a lengthy one.
Today, in need of cat food and a few other items, as well as some exercise, we decided to walk to town. The walk down wasn’t bad but the uphill slog in the full heat of a very sunny day left Deborah red faced and panting. We are both still recovering from our illnesses, plus Deborah had some sort of MSG reaction to the package of noodles she had last night. No more Top Ramen for that girl.
The plate she licked clean; the box she sniffed but didn't enter.
