Sandy is really starting to surprise me a bit. She comes up to me but sometimes she will stop midway and get nervous and go another way but its like she's trying to. She almost always insists on playing when I'm in the room and she is super smart. She will just lay on her side with her paws against my mattress and stare at me until I bring her a toy and start playing with her. Sometimes she'll go to a place where I normally play with her and wait for me. She'll chase things now too when I'm moving it with her or pull it behind a corner. When I walk she doesn't get up and move when Im walking toward her, she stays there comfortably and even lets me step right over her (she sometimes like to lay down in the doorway to my bathroom)... but what is really surprising is she is choose to sleep right at the foot of my mattress and sometimes even the side near me when I go to sleep.... She also seems alot less scared when I slide my hand near her for treats and she is eating them right there infront of me without me having to leave. Panda is happy as usual...my new home has carpet so..... .....they all met the Vacuum cleaner. I SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWLY vacuumed the living room while keeping movements subtle while slowly approaching the cat trees where Panda was hiding... I didnt want to get too close but I still had to vacuum. I gave him plenty of space to run (he did). Panda will let me pet him and sometimes he says no, and Im okay with that and just let it go when he doesn't want to be touched and just give him his space.
I let Sandy out the room and she came right out without hesitation and went exploring a bit. She even went and laid down near the other cats as well.
My sister believes Sandy was abused which is why she seems much shyer and less confident than Panda and why she confides in him so much, because Panda was looking out for her. Back when they were still outdoors Panda always made an appearance before Sandy did and for a long time we didnt even know about Sandy. Panda seemed to be the trailblazer at making sure everything was safe, then she would come out. I dont know her history. I do know they often crossed the street and there was a local bar/club there where they were likely picking up scraps and its possible they didnt like the cats. Not sure though. Most of the neighbors there didn't want the ferals, that I knew for certain...I was just lucky enough to beable to catch Panda and Sandy without a cat-trap before animal control came for them.
