Cat-sitting, Day 5

I forgot to give an update for my cat-sitting adventures yesterday: Saturday, October 13, 2007.

Nothing really much to update today... Cats are eating regularly. The problematic/moody cat only hissed at me once or twice today, and attacked me only once with her declawed front paws. She actually even played a little while when I was playing with the other cat.

So, the moody cat is slowly warming up to me... She still freaks out however, when I attempt to pick her up to brush her, so that's still out of the question.

I understand that because she was a stray, and she was probably abandoned beforehand that takes her longer to trust strangers, but at the rate we're going, it's ridiculous... But animals are animals, and just like different children or people, we all have different rates at which we adapt. I find that ignoring her works.

Cats find people who ignore them less threatening. Must you pick them up to brush them? Some cats don't mind brushing, but they detest being held. I brush Neechee without picking him up, though he doesn't mind being picked up either.

Well, since I am supposed to brush the entire cat, I have to sort of carry them to the bed... And then sort of hold them gently while I brush. Anyway. Last day, so I'm almost there.
