Day Four

[kybearfuzz]

No real progress on the cat front. When I got home, I found no proof that he had been out of the laundry room. I"m sure he had been.

I opened the door to the storage space and found him lounging near the door, but still out of arm's reach. I was doing my back & biceps workout today, so I left the door open. I was hoping that it would be like he was in the room, seeing how he could see me and I could see him.

Instead, in typical cat fashion, he got up and crawled further into the storage space, turning his back toward me. Sigh.

So I shut the door again to give him the privacy he wants. I check on him every hour or so to make sure things are okay. He just gives me resting bitch face and then curls back up.

I keep hoping the looming weekend will improve things.

Maybe cover yourself in catnip? :)

I'd trying leaving a few cat treats each time you check on him. That way he'll associate good times with you being present. It's an idea.

For reasons I can't quite explain, I like Milo as a name

The treats idea is good - and if you see them vanish, you know he's come out at least that far.

If possible, you might try sitting where he can see you (should he deign to look) and just talk to him a bit - but don't stare at him, that's rude in "Cat". That might help him get used to your presence and the sound of your voice without trying to force the issue.

Special treat time.
