Jass' hiding spaces since she arrived:
Under my doona/duvet.
In my wardrobe, after she learnt to slide the door open. Ditton the spare room wardrobe door.
Under the spare bedroom bed.
The linen press, after she learnt to put her paw under the doors to pull them open.
But now her firm place is under the lounge room chairs, where she runs to when she sees Phyllis, or even hears him moving around in his bedroom. This will change in a week or so after the new lounge room chairs arrive, well, after the old ones are disposed of.
Jass did not take to me initially but to Phyllis and Kosov. But my quiet daily presence when they were at work won her over. I don't spoil her, rarely giving her treats, but I do feed her most of her meals. I am now a bit harder on her when I think it is necessary.
I think she grew to dislike Phyllis because he is loud and full on. Kosov it gentler with her, sits with her on the floor and talks to her, strokes her cheeks and lets her sniff his fingers. I'm sure she'll get over her hate on Phyllis in time. She doesn't hate him when he feeds her treats. We should be grateful she isn't as bad as John Gray of Wales cat, Weaver, but even he is making progress with his enemy.

Cats are wily creatures. Nothing is off limits!
ReplyDeleteJass sounds like a cat with preferences. That is a cat. Weaver is a challenge. John seems up to it. He is a better person than i am
ReplyDeleteI have my own 'bad cat'. Freddie is an abused cat, a rescue. He seems to like me but if alarmed he hisses and spits. He has never bitten, but he also has bever not used his litter box, so there is that.
