My bebes. Molecule the tuxie loved to supervise when I was creating. OTRB 1yr ago age 19. Fibonacci the white will-o-the-wisp wld sit upright like a wee hooman. She left 3yrs ago suddenly at 17. These 2 were sibling elderly rescues. The orange tabby Spikie - my 21 yr companion said goodbye in 2010.
Tuxedo cat (Molecule) is laying on the edge of a crafting table that is covered in a blue drop cloth. There are various art and craft supplies visible on shelves and work table surfaces. A cabinet filled with china is in the background and a dual monitor computer set up is to the side of the photo. A furry pure white kitty (Fibonacci) is seated in an antique paisley patterned high back chair. She is upright on her butt with her legs out in front and her tail curled to her side. A stuffed fox and a pillow embroidered with snowflakes are beside her. A knitted throw is behind draped across the back of the chair. The throw is white with blue cats. A grumpy looking orange tabby (Spikie girl) is laying in a brown high-sided cushioned round cat bed, with her front paw on the edge of the bed and her chin resting on her paw. cream coloured sheers and the edge of a window are visible in the background

Another big win…Hettie slowly wiggled and slid her way across the blanket to finally gently rest her paw on my big toe. She’s been laying like this for about an hour now and I really need to pee but don’t want to disturb her🥹😻🐾🐾💜

Third day in a row this bebe has been snuggled up fast asleep on the sofa near me.…like to think it’s cause she’s finally feeling safe and at home with me…although I suspect it’s more due to my slipping her a few morsels of warm cooked chicken from my dinner 🤣

Squeee.… Hettie just came over on her own and asked to come up on the couch. Made a little grumbly throat noise and looked at the couch where my feet were. I moved them and she jumped right up. She’s now laying curled up by my feet grooming. 😻Progress!!

Hettie update: fur is sheening up a bit now that she’s getting good food in her tummy. Her personality is beginning to show. She’s quite the character-making her preferences known thru a variety of vocalizations-most of it little grumbles, chirps and trills 😂

Finally managed to get a pic of Hettie resting her paw on one of my legs. So far this is as brave as she gets with being near me, but still lightyears of progress compared to her first couple of weeks with me.

Hettie update.
Sleeping curled up next to me on the sofa has become Hettie’s new routine. She’s also very tentatively placing a front paw or two on my leg from time to time, but still isn’t ready to lay on my lap. Her fur and her weight are improving daily 💜🐾🐾

Shhhh…don’t tell Hettie but she’s laying next to my legs on the sofa. 💜🐾🐾
Lasted about 3 minutes but a huge step forward for her. Little by little she is getting comfortable with me. 😍

Fostering period is coming to an end in a couple of days but it appears she’ll be staying with me..she may not be fully trusting of me but she‘s definitely attached….as am I. And the immune system seems to be mostly okay with having her around sooo.. 4/4

Hettie update
The poofin floofin exhibiting grooming behaviours is an excellent sign..every day she’s feeling better thx to lots of good eats and the meds continuing to work their magic on the nasty bladder infection. She even had the zoomies briefly 😹😻🐾🐾
