This coming Wed. our feral girl, CC will be part of our family for 2 whole weeks. As I mentioned in my last thread, we contained her in a room with all her supplies and toys since coming home. Just on Fri., CC got out of her room and wandered around (with supervision after her escape-initially thought it was a good thing) our upstairs bedrooms and bath. There is a gait at the end of the hallway, so she couldn't get downstairs to the rest of the house. Our curious girl wandered around for about 20 minutes, checking things out. When she started "meowing" A LOT, we lured her back into her room with treats. Because she did so well, I let her out for two more brief periods. One last night and again this AM. Probably bad idea. She seems more stressed now when you enter her room...biting more and digging at door to get out.Should we continue to let her out for brief periods or keep her totally contained, considering the stressed behavior. I should mention that this AM when I let her out my other cat (the little stinker) came running up the stairs and stared at her through the gait and hissed at her. Much quicker first intro than I had wanted....thought he was sleeping downstairs.I AM concerned if she is allowed to be free upstairs, her stress level will increase...or will it? I have a small child I do not want to get bit. CC seems to bite only when stressed. She does have safe havens in her room. Need to go spend time with her now. We try to "see" her ASAP. Now when we go in her room to spend time with her, we only sit on the floor on the computer or reading. Funny things is she continues to rub or "bump" us if we do not engage her. Last night she actually walked over me and proceeded to sit as close to me as possible without physically sitting on me.Advice is appreciated!!!
