Dear Readers, it’s fair to say that my foster kitties, Sunrise and Pudding, are really starting to relax and come out of their shells now. You might remember that the black cat, Pudding, hid behind the books on the bookshelf when we first started looking after her, so all you could see were two ears and two terrified eyes. But this is a pretty quiet household, and both cats have gradually taken over the place.
Every evening before bed time Pudding comes up onto the sofa with me and rolls around like a lunatic.
But mostly they sleep, often cuddled up together on the very convenient IKEA chair…
Though a few weeks ago we moved the bird table, and now the cats spend a lot of time squirrel watching…
You might also remember that the cats have a touch of food anxiety (i.e. they wrestled a loaf of bread to the ground and ate the crust on one occasion). We’re now giving them four small meals a day, but I also decided to hide a tiny bit of dry food in an egg box to give them a bit of a challenge. Well, suffice to say that that was a ten-minute wonder.
I shall have to invest in a ‘proper’ puzzle feeder, I fear. I am also wondering about a cat tree that’s tall enough that they can look out of the window (we have privacy film on the lower part of the living room window) but clearly it needs to be robust enough not to fall over, and not too hideous to look at.
But honestly, you’d think someone would have adopted these two by now. They are absolutely adorable, and not at all a nuisance once they settle down and relax. If you live in London and think they might work for you, you can contact the RSPCA on the link below….
