Two fosters I've had for a little over two weeks. The girl - Lena - is much bolder, and has been hanging out in the rest of my apartment (studio) for over a week.
However, he (Larry) has been very timid and has been staying in the closet, only coming out to eat, and keeping a wary eye on me. At night, once I turned out the lights, he'd come out and I would hear them playing and running around. But then he'd retreat back into the closet.
Yesterday, on his own, he just marched out, eyed me, and jumped onto a dining room chair, where the tablecloth will hide him. And last night I was sitting on the couch, waving the cat dancer around. She was playing and all of a sudden he ran over and started playing with it!!! Good kitty!!!
She'll let me pet her and closes her eyes and raises her head to be scratched under her chin, but will definitely move away when she's had enough. I haven't gotten to that point with him yet, but I'm really happy with this sudden boldness of his!!!
YAY! It's so much fun watching their progress!!
Oh, they're Maine Coon mixes, he's black and white and she's tortoise - a coat of many colors.
