Still in hiding
Louie and I went to my father-in-law's birthday party, and out to
karaoke to celebrate our anniversary. We met at karaoke, sang instead of danced for our wedding, and went out tonight to do our wedding songs. And when we returned, we found our newest little girl Odessa still hiding, this time behind the other desk instead of the closet. If I am up here long enough, she'll come out, sniff about a bit, and try out another hiding spot. I do wish she'd come out, but my logic tells me that this could take a bit. She just came out of an overcrowded foster home, has been shown several times with little result, and I just found out that I am the second person who's taken her. Her first owner, also through the shelter, returned her because her fiance was deathly, go-to-the-hospital-or-else allergic. this poor kitty has probably had a heap of stress over the past several months, culminating in today's transition. Calming purrs for her would be gratefully appreciated! Odessa did come out while we were gone, judging from the food bowl and the litter box. Going back almost 20 years, Fritzie was a scaredy cat when I got him too, only coming out to eat and use the litter when alone; it took three weeks to get him to trust me enough to come out and let me hold him. I've been told that despite Odessa's shyness, she is actually very playful and affectionate, and gets along well with other animals. She won't be a juvenile delinquent like Stosh and Brandy, and seems more interested in seeking enlightenment, like Roxie. We'll do our standard treatment, sequestering our new kitty and sleeping with her the first few nights, to accustom her to our scent and presence, and that of the other cats, though they're still bivouacked beyond the door. They're chafing to meet Odessa, but not yet; she's still too skittish and stressed. In the meantime I'll just gently let her know that Mama's here, and that this is home now, for good. Blessed be, Baha |

Many calming purrs from our household to yours, Baha! It sounds like she
will take time but you obviously have good instincts and are going slowly with her. Please keep us posted! purrr, Odessa, purrr... Christine "Singh" wrote in message ...

Your soothing aura will soon win her trust and love, Baha, how could she not bond with good people like you and Louie! Hugs, CatNipped |
