Spoke with Sarah last night and she told me that this cat is absolutely incredible. She will follow Sarah around the house like a dog. Sit on her lap whenever Sarah sits down and sleep under her chin each night. I have to wonder if maybe this means something more than just devotion as animals sense things about people. I know Sarah comes in contact with a lot of sick people in her job- I’m just saying. Some of our cats come here and go off and become missionaries of sorts.
But for now, they both are falling deeply attached to each other and I couldn’t be happier.
On another adoption note- Sunday is doing well in her home. She is alone most of the day because her owner works at a bank, but her owner’s best friend comes in and visits and plays with her at least for a few hours so she isn’t suffering from lack of attention or love.
Jordan and Darby are doing pretty well. They are eating, drinking and using the litterpans but they pretty much are confined to one room at the moment as furniture is being moved around as Barbara settles into her new home. At times even after the rescue, Jordan will hide her head under a blanket in the closet if Barbara walks into the room unexpectedly. It is going to take time for these two cats to understand they are in a good place. It is my hope that Barbara is the right person who will figure this out and back off and just leave them alone until they do. Barbara asked me why if Jordan came on her lap after that first incident, she doesn’t return to it now? I don’t have an answer, just a theory. Perhaps it was just Jordan’s way of saying thanks and testing the water to see what would happen if she did get up on a lap. I don’t know, this cat has been through so much. I just hope this is her last stop for a forever home.
I’ve had cats do something that makes it seems as if they’ve taken a step forward, but then regress a bit. It’s always disappointing, but they usually don’t go far back. If they did it once, they’ll do it again. With time and patience, Barbara will have the best little friends.
