Hey Ya'll! My name is Amber, I'm 24 and I live in California. I am also totally blind-which means that I cannot see people/colors/etc... only thing I can see is light in my left eye but other then that, nothing else. I'm a huge country music fan, and I love going to country music concerts. Anyways, I just adopted a 2 year old Tabby from the Humain Society in my area. Her name is Sara and she is one of the cutest/sweetest things! I just loooove her to pieces! I just bought her home yesterday, in fact. she was found as a stray, but she is very sweet. She hasn't been at the shelter that long, well well when she was there... anyways, today she was letting me pet her, and she was constently purring, and just sleep most/if not all of the day on my bed. She even slept with me last night. But this evening we had a situation where since I live with my Mom, she is trying to get used to both my Mom and I, but since I'm with Sara all day everyday, she's gotten used to me the most. anyways, this evening they told us yesterday that we should keep her to a confined space such as my room until she feels comfortable with the rest of the house, so that's what we've done. After a lot of worrying, from my part, she finally used the litterbox, with both peeing and pooping this afternoon which I was happy about. She's eating and drinking just fine, but this evening, we kept the door open because she has to ya know explore sometime, and since she was using the litterbox, Mom felt more comfortable with her explooring the rest of the house. with that said, the door was left open, and Sara went down a few stairs, and then kept going back and forth, then Mom picked her up and tried to just bring her down so she could exploor it, she wasn't having any of that, and came right back in here and hid under the bed. Mom's boyfriend was over, and he kept trying to go in and pet her, and get her out from under the bed, and she wouldn't come, I even tried, and she came out, but only when I was in here with her by myself. Were taking her to the vet tomorrow for her exam or that was provided free from the adoption phee.. but I just hope she comes out soon, cause I really didn't want to scare her, but my Mom's boyfriend insists that I'm "babbying" her and that she's a cat not a human, etc... but I keep telling him that she needs time... and he's like 'well, if it were me, I'd just go pick her up myself and just bring her down here... but anyways, when I approach her under the bed, she purrs and stuff, and she came out a little while ago to drink her water, and then went right back under the bed... so I don't know... any of your oppinions/thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks ya'll!! Amber
