| Sometimes approaching Philip while we're standing freaks him out, but if we can stay low or sit with him, he feels better about it. (That little chin strap!) |
We had set up a camera in the guest/cat room to see how active the furballs were, and since Philip was OK with us at least semi-regularly, to make sure Aurora was still doing OK with the new roommate.
She's fine, still happy with the room, and Philip playing with her favorite toy didn't make her change her mind about it.
By the end of July we were getting 100+ emails a day, so we were no longer worried about them coming out of hiding at any time of day. So we shifted the camera's gaze to the door, to see who was coming and going.
Philip was in and out, exploring between the rooms upstairs, we knew that already.
What surprised us was seeing evidence that Aurora left the room for ten minutes. I don't know if that's the first time she's been exploring outside of the room or where she went.
And in the morning, even though she knew that I hadn't left for work yet, she came out of hiding to get in on that sweet breakfast kibble action. And even when she knew I could see her, she didn't go back into hiding! I didn't push my luck by trying to go in.
Aurora and Philip are fostered in Cambridge, MA through the Gifford Cat Shelter in Brighton. Please contact them if you are interested in either of these cats!
