Update on my new cat

The cat I was hoping to adopt wasn't available, so I picked Wildfire, a four-month-old female who, I find, is appropriately named.

She is very, very skittish, so no pictures yet. I brought her home yesterday afternoon and transferred her from the carrier to a comfy bed I had prepared for her.

She immediately, literally in the blink of an eye, shot off to hide in another part of the house... a part I wasn't able to discover until a couple of hours ago.

Her history isn't a happy one, so I'm guessing it is going to take time for her to trust me, or from what the staff at the Humane Society said, to trust or socialize with anyone. Her siblings were much friendlier but I decided on Wildifre as the kitty that was most in need of a permanent home.

Pictures will come when Wildfire decides to grace me with her calmer self.

Aww....

It's normal she's skittish... and she was telling you in her reactions. What you have already, she's curious... trying to find parts you don't even know in your own home.. (that takes skill)

She's making her own home, like my cat, who goes on walks with me... when I had him hidden in a room away from the other cat, that other cat you know, they get all damn jealous.... and he leaped 8 feet in the air, to then fly forward five feet, defying laws of phyics if he had not pushed off the "dutch ceiling."
