After two and a half months Wilson has momentarily emerged. I knew she would come out to eat etc. but she had never come out when I was present. Since she moved to her hiding place in the cat tower she has been more actively aware of what is going on in the room and the other night she emerged while I was tucked into bed. Armed only with the iPad I was able to snap a photo or two. I didn't want to move for fear that she would leap back into her hole. Then the next night while I was sitting in the chair half way across the room she again came out and stayed out for a few moments. I am so excited. This is the next step. Now I can try to get her comfortable enough to touch without freaking out. Yeah Wilson!
