Several updates:
Last night the cats seemed interested in hearing the sounds from the bald eagle nest cam I watch but I couldn't leave my laptop outside naturally so I bluetoothed my speaker and left that out. My mistake. The speaker was not fully charged and this speaker dings every 5 seconds until you turn it off or charge it. The alarm was set and it is not safe for humans to go outside after dark so the thing went on all night long. This morning when I glanced out the window Treasure was lying there with the same look on his face that I had the past 2 nights with a cricket that would not stop chirping. And when I opened the door to feed the cats, Treasure sure let me know about it. lol
So I also went yesterday to pick up some extra cat food as Sopdet seems to be a regular now instead of dropping in once or twice a week. I got a thing of cat treats, and gave them a treat this morning for having to endure the speaker (although unlike me they could have wandered to the other side of the yard). I brought out the laser toy and held it in such a way that Treasure doesn't look directly into the beam (I have to watch him with that). Sopdet chased the laser a moment but then stopped like she wasn't so sure if she could trust it. She then sat there 12 inches away from me and looked at me with imploring eyes. I threw another treat to her (just one) and that was enough. I'm actually quite pleased with the progress I'm making with her. And I feel confident that one more week and Sopdet will be domesticated. She runs from everyone but me.
