Like lying down on furniture. Just the bed for now, and not for very long, but maybe one day she'll hang out with us on the couch. Or on laps.
I don't pick her up often, but I'm making it a point to try putting her on my lap every couple days. So far she stands for a moment and lets me pet her, then jumps down. But she's standing there a bit longer now than she did the first time I tried, so I'm optimistic.
It took her a long time to understand what the scratching post was for (for a good while, she insisted on picking at the desk drawers instead, even when the post was right there). Now sometimes she'll hang out in that top shelf portion, between myself and my husband when we're both at our computers.
Incidentally, sometimes she prefers the string part of the toy-on-a-string to the actual toy. I feel like this is missing the point, but she likes what she likes.
She sits like this when she grooms her belly (Husband thinks this is hilarious). There's a small patch that still looks bare, but it has some light-colored fur growing in.
Ginger Kitty is fostered in Cambridge, MA through the Gifford Cat Shelter in Brighton. Please contact them if you are interested in her!
