Cat time! One more of the great mysteries....what universe are they living in? They take eons to make a change. the most notable example is the time it takes a cat to enter or exit through a door...Shadow here prompted this morning's post...she had a rocky last few years...her person died, and she was left on the street by a care home. A kind woman started feeding her. The woman's caretaker brought her to me after Shadow developed a horrible skin condition on her neck. Probably from a Hartz (TOXIC) flea collar, which should be outlawed. Never buy Hartz products. I digress. The cat is lovely, as you can see, but was pretty shaken up...she loved to be touched, but would startle and worry. I had her in a big cage in the living room, so that she could see what was going on and get the lay of the land here. I took her out and held her, that was okay. Eventually, after a week or so, she ventured out to explore the house a bit, and always retreated into the safety of the cage...high off the ground. After a few weeks, she took up residence on top of the toilet in one of the bathrooms. Stays there. Eats well. WTF? We put a bed in there, and a litter box...she's eating well and seems happy. Never on the vanity or in her bed, just there on the back of the toilet. Bless her heart. I hope she feel comfortable taking her place among the others soon.
