We tend to prefer stability in our family situation, at least I do – maybe we’ll change this policy in the future, but having one empty food dish after years of seeing three cats rush over for meals is a big symbol of the empty place in our life where Punky lived.
In July, we were approved by the Durham Humane Society to adopt Cameron, and she has moved in and is very slowly getting used to her new home. She’s been almost catatonic with fear and hiding under the bed, and after much strife, we got her to hide in the living room, but have to move the couch every day to get her out.
We are finally getting snuggles and recognition now, though she’s still very cautious and chaotic. We do love this little ball of nerves though!
