Hi All! It's been 5 days since we started to ignore Piper. Well I have been reading to her while she eats, and talking to her when she looks at me, I have even held my hand out (with nothing) and she will come and sniff it, but no rubbing. But I can actually see differences in her behavior, she is much more relaxed and her facial expression is more alert and curious, happy looking (call me crazy, but really she looks different). She is also not hiding under the bed, only for a little while when strangers come over, but after they are here for a half hour she will come and eat, (ofcourse not approaching me or the strangers! but staying in the same room! The other change is that usually the kitten chases her and she runs away, now she is playing back, and even going after him (after he initiates) no hissing or growling just pawing/hugging eachother!
I can't believe the treatment is already showing differences? She will still run if I come too close to her, but if she walks near me she is fine, she will stay on the bed with me (not touching me) and sit on the top of the couch. I am a lot more hopeful that our relationship is improving, and Sandi if it weren't for your post, I probably would have not known what to do with Piper, as vets have just kept telling me this is who she is and it cannot be changed. Her eyes are getting sweeter everyday, I hope the good changes continue. I also noticed she is watching the toys I am playing with the kitten more than the kitten now...is that a good sign?
