Lovely, lovely Tan. See her basking in the sunlight, isn't she gorgeous? She has been making some small improvements. Tan has almost always needed to be within sight of me, and definitely in the same room when I am still. She still has issues when I walk around. On cleaning days she feels the need to hide and she was most unimpressed when I rearranged the living room furniture. Most likely because her favorite hiding place is now gone. I hope she doesn't realize that many pieces of furniture were moved intentionally with that in mind. I am hopeful that with the improved stealth petting and the increasing frequency in sniff sessions we have that she will make another leap of trust and maybe only get out of the way when I walk near her rather than the slow but steady trot she does now.
Tan is very much a one cat household kind of cat. Now that those in the bedroom are coming out of hiding more she has taken to sitting well away, but within visual range, of the bedroom cats solely so she can hiss at them. If she's feeling particularly fractious she will come to the bars and try to bat at them while she hisses. I mean really. She could just avoid them but no-o-o-o she needs to antagonize. We won't even discuss what happens when Dewdney sneaks out of the bedroom.
She hasn't had any dates lately, but I am hopeful with some of the photos, videos and a new bio showing her absolute adorable nature will spark some interest. After all not everyone wants a kitten.
