What's new with our best brave girl?
What's new with our best brave girl?
Hi, all.
Sorry for not getting any updates up...I've been busy securing a promotion (huge) for me. LOLOL!!!
Pengy is in a holding pattern. She's fighting herself about something right now, and the best thing that I can do is continue being regular and let her work it out.
We've had several long sessions of feather touching, and every time I extend my finger to her, she sniffs it. Several times, she's misjudged the distance, and lightly bumped my finger, but that scared her, and she pulls back. And once I was able to lower (slowly) my finger to her paw and very gently and lightly touch it. She wasn't too pleased about that, but didn't strike at me or even hiss, just backed off. And she's letting me change her litter boxes without massive trauma, either; she will stay where she is, watching me, rather than leaving the area as she used to.
Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of her living inside...and I'll have a historical post up about her then. Sort of a revu, as it were....and she has come so very far!!!
Thanks for bumping this, and making sure I know you guys are still interested!

I am sure we all look forward to the review. It is awesome how much patience you have had and how far she has come.
I think Michele is posting a whole refresher on Penguin within a few days... but basically Penguin is a cat Michele captured and is scared of humans and used to live under the bed... with a LOT of patience, Michele is teaching Pengy that she can be trusted. Way to go Michele!
That's it in a nutshell...but it will be more in-depth in the post tomorrow (I hope I get it up tomorrow...).

Please forgive me - it's been a long, long day, and while I wrote something up, I didn't hit save, and lost it. That's how tired I am tonight...sigh.
So I will try again tomorrow. Please be patient and forgive me....
By this time tomorrow, there will be a 1 year anniversary of my Pengy girl's progress...
Hugs to all - and again, I do apologize.
Best-
Michele
No aplogies needed Michele, we understand and we all look forward to seeing it when you have time! Hugs back to you!
I was just yesterday thinking I needed a Pengy update and was going to post a thread to that effect.
I'm happy for your promotion - congratulations.
Yes, we are ALL interested in Pengy's progress. I for one would be terribly disappointed if we didn't get updates.

THanks for bumping this...
My promotion is moving forward - but it's trying it's level best to kill me in the process...sigh. I guess this is a good thing, but it's just so hard sometimes to keep up with everything....
Pengy is going great guns. Miss Brave Heart has startled me three times this last week because she has ventured out into the hallway, and me, not expecting to see her, walked down the dark hallway and surprised her. Once, she was literally two feet away from my feet, crouched and staring up at me as if to say "what're you going to do? YOU DON'T SEE ME!!!!!" and the other time she just laid in the doorway as I moved to the bathroom.
I am often laying my (worn) work clothes on the rocker, and I find her sitting there, cuddled down onto my robe and whatever clothes I've worn that day. She's stopped using the baker's rack for the moment, but she's really moving around.
We play with the wand as much as I can, and I stroke her with it. Several times I've traded the wand with my hand, as long as her rump was toward me, and she's allowed me to stroke her for a good 20ish minutes. She and Simon are good friends, but he gets jealous when I'm using the wand...so he comes and lays down between me and Pengy, and lets me use him as an arm rest while in that awkward position. He's such a help!
I can't believe she's been here a year....how blessed I am.
Sorry for the interruptions...I've been beyond busy, and often times come home, get the cats fed, and am too tired to eat and go straight to bed, to start it all over again the next day...but I'll try better.
I know I "owe" an annual review, and I hope to have a bit of time soon to get it up...please forgive me and be patient...

These are lovely developments, Michele!!
It's unfortunate that your promotion has you on the run, but perhaps that will settle some as you get into it.
Meanwhile, that it's going well is a positive thing.
We'll try to be patient
