Well, Lorelei is making little baby steps of progress: she ate a

I have been worried, because since she got to my home on Monday

relief!

Given that she has eaten so little, until last night and today, it's
not too surprising.

I was concerned about her not drinking any water, but canned cat
food has a lot of water in it, so she's getting some water from
that.

Lorelei is still very scared: I still find her down in the basement,
where it's cold and the floor is cement

The poor kitty. I have coaxed her upstairs several times, only to
find her back down in the basement again. So I finally got some old
towels and made her a sort of a bed, so at least she isn't on the
cement floor anymore.

I spend a lot of time with her, and she like to have her ears
scratched, but she prefers to hide in the basement.

Poor Lorelei is not taking the big move very well at all

I know she's a nice cat, because she came right up to me in her
previous home and let me give her scritches, and rub her pretty
spotted tummy

But, I think she can use all the help she can get. I'm sure she can
At least there isn't another cat, or a dog to make it even harder on
her.

I went shopping today and I bought a package of assorted cat toys,
some more of her brand of dry cat food, some more Fancy Feast, and a
package of catnip for Lorelei.

So far, she has ignored the toys, and the catnip, too.

I will wait a few days, and try again.

Ralph, Fred, Alice, Jane, Ricky, Mary, Judith, and Claude

I found her at the top of the stairs today, and she hasn't gone back
downstairs, that I know of.

She's been hanging out in the kitchen, which is the warmest room in
the house: it only has 1 outside wall, instead of 2, like every other
room, and it gets 'extra' heat from the refrigerator, and the pilot
lights on the gas stove.

I'll bet she ventures into the dining room in a few days


Yay, progress!!!

I will be VERY patient, and spoil her terribly in every way I possibly

I remember when Rebecca first came here. She didn't want anything to do
with me at first; she just hid and didn't eat for two days. She finally
showed some interest when she saw there was another cat there. I didn't
push her, and just let her relate to Sundance until she was more
comfortable with me. It took her a long time, but it was on her terms.
Today she's just as much of a pest as he is!
