I feel like I'm posting so much! But this is helping me to keep a timeline and my thoughts on him organized!
He's still very fearful of people but the last few days when he is alone he's doing so much better. I see him out and exploring so much more then when he arrived. He hops from window to window. He has not gone back in the carrier since I replaced the bed, but I actually feel now that perhaps it is a good thing? He sits in the window now and looks outside, which just feels much more like living then sitting in the back of the carrier.
He knocked the camera plug out of the wall again last night, around 4:30am (i am up so late sometimes), and I just couldn't sleep with the way he was attacking the register - I thought his toe might get stuck or something. So I went in to plug the camera back in, I had no idea where he was going to be. And he was up on the chair! So I guess he's been sitting there as well. I figured he would run away as I came near to plug in the camera, but I moved very slowly, and he stayed there. Watching me intently but he didn't run. I didn't attempt to pet him here, just said "good boy" and turned the light out.
I think he is starting to want out of there, or back outside... again while watching the camera, I actually heard him meow for the first time. He was sitting in the window, then meowed once, and got down to attack the register and of course, unplugged the camera again. I need to find a way to make that stay in the wall !
I also see him tense up less when I visit. The first visit of the day was usually the worst for him, and he'd always push backwards and try to look away from me. Now, he looks at me and might go back a fraction, but it seems like he is still unsure, but not absolutely terrified.
I bought some Bach's Rescue Remedy. Has anyone used it with any success?
