Khaleesi's Big Adventure

[textualdeviance]

Went out for a bit this afternoon to go buy her some treats and other miscellaneous stuff, as well as a nice litle proper hidey hole for her (bettter than trying to stuff herself under the couch!)

Came back and got it all set up, and then this happened:

You can imagine how astonished and happy I was. I've been so worried about how skittish and shy she is, and have been patiently working with her for hours over the last few days, trying to get her to understand that she's home and loved, now, and I think it finally paid off. She explored a bit more after that, and also came out and finally met D tonight, too, so things continue to improve.

She still has yet to get to know the other two, much. Penny's locked up in the same room, and they've been investigating each other a bit, but not to great ends so far (not surprising; Penny is a cranky, get off my lawn sort of little old lady.) And Otter we won't be putting in the mix until we're sure Khaleesi is strong and confident enough to deal with the furry little tornado. Still, this is major, major progress, and I couldn't be happier.

Can't wait to hear what she makes of Otter and the other way round. Seems she's starting to adjust though and there's plenty of room for everyone so if they don't want to be around each other, they don't have to be.

She's got the most amazing face. I was telling justtracy how much I loved the faces on her's too. They have these great long noses. It just makes their faces so distinctive. The combo of Khaleesi's eyes and the pink tip of her nose is just too sweet. I would never be able to say no to her. ^_^

Khaleesi is beautiful. Love those eyes. Glad to see she will have a better life. Just like Emma - she adopted me at first glance. She actually idolizes me. Mater

Thank you!

We're really quite happy at how quickly she's been settling in, given her history. She's still unsure of the other kitties, but she loves the humans here. And she's so sweet and affectionate. Love her. :)
