Another small step for Lorelei.

This evening I went to look for Lorelei in the bedroom, to give her some
scritches.

She wasn't in the bedroom.

So I went down to the basement, to coax her back upstairs.

She wasn't in the basement, either.

I looked around, and found her meatloafing on a dining room chair, right
next to the cat tree, just below the 2nd level from the floor.

I have her bowl of kibble on the lowest level, which sits right on the
floor.

I approached her slowly, and she let me give her scritches and some
petting.

The next time I looked, she was back in the bedroom.

Probably, I should have just left her alone, and not approached her, but
I wanted to give her some 'positive reinforcement'.

Where she was, she could see me in the living room, but she was partly
concealed by being under the dining room table.

Little steps...

Awww! It sounds like things are progressing well.

i think it was fine that you petted her since you didn't pick her up, but i
don't agree with moving her food bowl around, you, imho, need to put the
food where you want it to be and leave it there. if you want to put
alternative food or treats somewhere else fine, but the bowl she will be
eating from on a regular basis needs to be in its permanent home so she can
reassure herself that won't change, Soft

Good steps! I agree with Soft about the food
being in a permanent place,and treats left
elsewhere.
