Update II on my cat

Link to Update I: https://similarworlds.com/pets/4842778-Update-on-my-new-cat-The-cat-I-was-hoping-to-adopt-wasnt

Wildfire has been the most skittish little kitty ever.

Until last night she had been in hiding except to cautiously come out of wherever she was hiding at the moment, to eat.

Late last night, just before I went to bed, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, and there she was, sitting maybe 6 feet away from me, looking up at me.

I reached for my phone to take a picture of her, and poof! she was gone in a flash.

May fifteen minutes later I heard soft meowing and looked over to see her sitting in the same spot... like 6 feet away and again, looking up at me.

I didn't make a move this time but began talking to her and she sat there, looked at me as I talked to her, and then decided (I guess), she'd had enough peopling for the moment.

Turning to go back in hiding I took the chance and grabbed my phone, called her name, and got her to pause long enough for one bad picture.

It's slow going with Wildfire, but we are getting there.

Be patient and just let her come to you, if she's had bad interactions with humans it will take her time to trust you but once she does you'll be her human furever 🐱😊

@spjennifer Yep, that is exactly what I'm doing... letting her decide when she is ready.

@Ontheroad Kitties know when they've landed where they belong, it just takes them a bit of time to accept it 😊
