Cat Prayer
Cat Prayer Now I lay me down to sleep I pray this cushy life to keep I pray for toys that look like mice And sofa cushions, soft and nice I pray for gourmet kitty snacks And someone nice to scratch my back For windowsills all warm and bright For shadows to explore at night I pray I'll always stay real cool And keep the secret feline rule To NEVER tell a human that The world is really ruled by CATS -Author Unknown |

Speaking of sofa cushions: I have been finding Lorelei sleeping in my living room, on my recliner, lately. That's pretty good for a cat who wouldn't even go into the room, six weeks ago Also: now that's it's finally warm out, Lorelei is beginning to enjoy my front porch. Just like Kenzie, I found her sleeping under the table there, yesterday. There are two layers of old carpeting on the front porch, so the floor is probably softer than the cat tree where she usually sleeps. It seems like I find her doing something 'new' a lot, recently. I think she likes it here |

I think she likes it here I know she does! She is lovely! Sukie is trying hard too, last night she came up beside my laptop and just sat there. I was scared to touch her so we sat companionably for just over an hour and then she jumped down, but it was good! She lets me pick her up now too. Just as long as I hold her close she will stay, if I loosen my hold, she wants down. Think the four of us are on a voyage of discovery! Bess |

Just as long as I hold her close she will stay, if I loosen my hold, she wants down. Think the four of us are on a voyage of discovery! Bess Lorelei has been here for over 6 months now. It took a LONG time for her to 'settle in' he about 5 months, and the process is continuing, every day. If there are treats that Sukie likes, give her some when she joins you at your computer. I used canned food to lure Lorelei into my living room: she absolutely would not enter, since I got her. My computer is in the living room; my chair is just a few feet inside the entryway. Lorelei would sit and watch me sometimes, but would not enter, until I thought of using gooshyfuds to lure her in I have a feeling that if I had tried it too soon, it simply wouldn't have worked. But it sounds like Sukie is already getting used to you. Rewarding her with a treat (or gooshyfuds!) when she does something you want, is a time honored method to get a cat (or dog) to do what you want her to do. Lorelei didn't like being picked up, either. I used to give her some Pounce soft treats when I picked her up. Now, she lets me pick her up, just for the reward of scritches. When she's had enough attention, she makes it known when she wants to get down. She is gentle, but insistent. But the important point is that now she LIKES to get picked up, for awhile, anyways. Lorelei is a very sweet and gentle cat, but she can be very stubborn, too. Hmmm: stubborn cat...is that an oxymoron? I hope Sukie continues to warm up to you, as Lorelei has to me |
