Jan, we love the kitty pictures and updates. Feel free to keep us posted....
One of my kids is insane. Won't listen to a word. Told me she could do stuff without me. I said ok, get yourself breakfast. She still hasn't eaten because the bowls are in a cabinet above the sink.
Wait until they turn about 14, or so. You ain't seen nothin', yet....
We're expecting it to get to 90* F today!
She still has not eaten or had a drink or used the litter box. I went to Petsmart and bought some tuna and a syringe in case I need to feed her. Walmart had something called Lickable Treat that looks like tuna soup so I got some of that. I also bought some lactose free milk at the suggestion of the manager. I bought a crate in case I need to "lock her up" tonight so I can sleep. It is big enough for a small litter box which I filled with clay litter which she is used to (the other box has clumping and has a smell even though it is supposed to be unscented). It has room for a blanket and food bowls.
The manager seemed to think she would be okay and that I didn't need to worry unless it was day 3. I am calling the vet tomorrow for her free wellness check and though I hate to take her so soon since she's been through so much, I want to make sure she isn't sick.
I also thought she might feel comforted having a crate since she was used to sleeping in one at night and it is a smaller area than the whole room. I think I will move it to the other side of the room because she stays on the side away from the door.
She has been under the bed for about 6 hours but she is sleeping. I think I will put a box on its side under there for her.
Lordy! The trials of rescue cat adjustment! It's like I imagine having a new baby in the house feels like.
Yes, it is worth it.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Tuna for the win!!! It was only a 1.4 oz pouch of tuna "soup", but she licked the bowl clean!!!!!!!! So, even though she isn't drinking yet, she got a little liquid in her!!
She is still under the bed but she has been cleaning herself and stretching and she played a little with a pole I stuck under the bed.
WHEW! Who knew I'd ever get that excited about tuna . . .
I wish Sunday mornings didn't leave me feeling so wiped on Sunday afternoons.
She's probably just a tad bit shocked. Give her some time to get used to things. She'll be happy. I just know it.:smileybounce::smileybounce::smileybounce:
