Once again, Rossie is thriving. I’m starting to realize that in the past, when we thought Rossie was doing well, we re-introduced her into the household too soon for her level of readiness. This week, Rossie tentatively began reaching out to us for attention. She is spending more and more time out of her box and on the cat tower. She is allowing Walter to lean against her. She also is staying on the tower when we enter the room. If she doesn’t stay on the tower, she moves to a different level and seeks our attention.

Walter takes all this in stride and is thriving in his role as “Friend of Rossie.” Both cats love kitty treats.
