Cats: Here and There
All the kitties are well. Lady is happy as long as she can sit or lay on a chair near us. Sapphire is growing like a weed, very playful, but she has little or no interest in letting us pick her up. She does watch out interaction with the other cats, though. She seems intrigued by Lady. Daphne and Sapphire are nowhere near being friends yet.
Rossie is getting better at being a cat, but she’s still tentative. She’s very conscientious about trying to “do it right.” She is clearly tired of spending time in the cage, but is very comfortable with the space allowed in the parlor. She’s spending more of her free time in open spaces. She’s approaching Mr. L regularly for petting. She’s not fond of being put on his lap yet. She approached me once this week and allowed me to pet her. She’s playing with Sapphire. We have high hopes for Rossie, but we expect it will be quite some time before either Rossie or Sapphire will integrate into the household. At least it looks very likely at this point.
As far as I can tell, Ruby and Delta ignore Rossie and Sapphire. They spend most of their time upstairs or keeping to themselves. The feral influence is still strong in both of them.
Sneaky and Junior are regulars for Fancy Feast in the morning. Walter and Boomer are around but not visible except on the game camera.
