Thread: Going to look at an MC some advice

Very good - one step at a time.
I remember little Minnie residing under the bed quite a lot during the first few days. Not all the time - she did come out to eat - but a bit too much to my liking, even though she obviously wasn't afraid of the other cats. It passed rather quickly though, and in less than a week her favourite spot was on my lap while I was trying to work, lol.

Well had some more progress, last night she spend a good 30 mins sat in my lap in the kitchen preening away, then again this morning, but left her in the kitchen to go eat my breakfast in the lounge and she started to cry at me, so walk through and she is under the cupboard again, so coax her out and bring her into the lounge with me, she didn't like that and feels as back to square one with her hiding again :(

Also she has drank and eaten some of the biscuits but so far hasn't from what I can tell touched the raw food, which is a bit annoying as she has been on a raw food diet since day one.

Aww poor wee girl. I would stop pulling her out and li.e down on your belly with head on the floor. Blink at her and talk to her. If you have anything with your smell put it near her where she sitting and she can sniff it and know your not scary. She feeling small and insecure so you need to make yourself as small as possible.

Things are improving, she will come out after laying on the floor stroking her plus she has eaten her raw food which is good, she starting to explore now, made it to the living room

Yay!!!

Last update for this thread, will move over to Cat Chat section shortly.

But she is defiantly getting better now, she spent most of Sunday in the lounge behind the sofa as my dad was over and we were in and out of the kitchen putting felt on the shed roof, so she was not keen on that, mum came over and Rommy came out from behind the lounge had a bit of an explore and both parents think she is lovely.

Last night when was alone in the lounge, she came and sat on me, purring, let me stroke her then she did some more exploring she seems fascinated with her own reflection, then she ended up sitting on one of my surround sound speakers watching Star Trek with me, till she tried to get off and the speaker isnt fixed in place so that promptly fell of the stand lol.

Then this morning she came out from under her sleeping spot almost instantly when I said hello to her, then she climbed all over me while watching some TV before work, though she has a habit of sitting at the top of my chest blocking my view of the TV the little devil she is.

But today is the first time she is being left alone for a while, so hopefully everything will still be in one piece lol.

Thanks again for all the help and advice, and I will get pic's soon, if I can work out how to stop this forum posting portrait pics as landscape.

Cheers

LOL – We had to take the speakers off their stands. They’re on the floor now… luckily we don’t live in an apartment – the neighbours would go bonkers.

Glad to hear she's settling in. Looking forward to piccies.

You need so much patience. when we got darcie-lu she was so nervous she spent 3months living behind the sofa, we left food at one end & lay with her at the other end. Its worth the wait for a loving puss
