My now 8 month old black kitten is now hiding under and OSU Professor’s bed in her home in Eugene. Thankfully, Jessica understands that kitties get PTSD and that they hide and can hide for long periods of time. Chaunce has been adopted out twice before but both times, the people could not just LET HER BE! They had to “find” out where the kitty was hiding, pull kitty out of hiding and oh, well, let’s just sit her on our lap while we are at it. Sigh. I think Jessica gets it- I guess time will tell. Chauncey slid right under her bed so I left my old nightshirt there for her to snuggle with while she gets used to her new “mom.’ Jessica was so nice, and so excited to have Chauncey in her life, even though right now, that life might be under the bed for awhile.
No word from the doctor yet about when Mike goes in. Will keep you apprised as I can.
Why can’t people let new pets adjust in their own way? It may take a while and they may as well not have a cat while she’s adjusting, but then the reward will be twice as great as they anticipated. I left Cammie to her own devices, giving her all the time she needed, and now I can’t sit down to write without her jumping on my lap. Time! Patience! That’s it.
