I washed her and let her get used to her surroundings in a private room until she got comfy. I knew she was ready to explore when she cried out.
She loves Dorabella. Me? not so much. Dorabella smacks at her every chance she gets. She runs from me. When I pick or attempt to pick her up, she spits, hisses and scratches me. Yesterday for the first time she purred and snuggled so happily against me once she knew she was safe. But then after the snuggle session she ran off. She'll look at me from a distance, but if I get too close she runs off.
She happily climbs up to play with the feather too, and check me out as I clean litter. She also is not afraid when it comes to meal time.
Will she ever come to trust me? I know all cats are different, but I was just wondering. Maybe I am not the right owner for her. Yet, I don't want to give her up because of her past, who knows what it was? I don't think she is more than 3 months.
Will Dorabella stop smacking her? Will she ever feel comfy? These questions and more beg to be answered on my episode of, "As the White Kitten Runs"...
BTW, I got her around 7 am last Thursday, December 11, 2008. So, no it has not even been a week yet...
