Bonnie touched me all on her own

[Cheryl]

Ok. So I had to look back to her records to see how long she's been
with us. May 17th was her spay. It seems like it's been a long haul
but I guess not. She now spends my work days in her own room;
weekends out with everyone else. She still needs to learn where to
eat but in her room is fine for now. Piggy Shadow will go in her room
and eat her food which she doesn't eat all of in one sitting so I've
put up a baby gate because Shadow doesn't jump. Works well.

She only lets me brush her but loves to play. The other night I was
encouraged when she laid at my feet playing with a toy and she reached
over and pawed at my foot. She "grabbed" my big toe and just laid
there clenching it.

That reminds me... it's a work night and I have to go lure her back to
her room. :) FEATHER TOY!

Wow, Cheryl -- you've made great progress, too! Sounds like we have
opposite programs - Bonnie is good with your kitties but still learning
about you and Tucker is doing well with me (Celeste & Robin) and needs to
get to know the other kitties. What a tale of 2 kitties we have!
Christine (very happy for you!)

You are making great progress, Cheryl. I'm so glad to hear that things are
working out for Bonnie. Have you tried a laser pointer with her? Holly
absolutely loves it.

That's sweet! Nikki has the same problem as Bonnie; she is a nibbler, and
only eats a little at a time, while Frank has always been an inhaler, who
eats everything in sight. Fortunately, now that he is getting on in years,
he's not so crazy about food any more, so Nikki may get a bit more food.

I've tried it.. Shamrock loves the laser pointer. So far Bonnie
doesn't seem to notice it.
