Hi again. Maggie is progressing well I think. I've begun sleeping in the room where she is and that seems to be making a difference. I think she's almost more comfortable when I'm with her now than when she's alone. The other day when I came home and was talking to my fiancee in the living room Maggie starting meowing from the bedroom. My fiancee said she hadn't made a sound all day so I guess she was talking to me. She getting curious about me... sniffed my hand and this morning my face. She's out sitting in the window most of the night. She's begun playing with the toys and even a little interactive playing with me. I've petted her using the fishpole toy and she didn't get upset. I could maybe pet her now as she will sometimes sit real close to me with her back facing me but I think I'll hold off for a while. I figure from what I've read here that you CAN rush things but you can't really go TOO slow (ecxcept for trapping them and getting them to the vet).
At any rate I'm very happy to see her play and stay out of her hiding place for hours at a time. I hated seeing her staying in the one spot most of the night and day as she did at first.
Maybe soon she can come out of the bedroom. I still have to see how my other cats relate to her. The two older boys more or less ignore her when I have the "screen" over the bedroom door. Our year old female kitten watches her alot but unfortunately growls & hisses. Lucy is such a dainty kitten you can hardly hear her do it. I picked her up and she was growling and "attacked" my hand. I could hardly feel it. I told her "yeah, you're real scary. I'm sure Maggie, who's been dealing with raccoons, dogs & cars is going to be real afraid of this when you meet!"
Thanks. Jamie
