So now I have a cat...
I picked up the cat this afternoon, and she's now hidden behind my toilet. She's been there about three hours now with no signs of movement. I put a couple of treats in front of her which she hasn't touched. The only difference is now if I touch her she just makes a pathetic sound where as before she hissed at me. I've googled it and it's pretty normal behaviour, but i've never had a pet behave like this so it's making me a little uneasy.
I've had hamsters, rabbits and dogs growing up. Obviously dogs just love people and don't really care who or where they are with. Though they miss their owners when parted. Rabbits and hamsters can be nervous, but it doesn't last that long before they are at least moving around.
She was ok coming here at least. She walked out of the cat carrier straight away and after a few minutes wandered around. I guess she was looking for her ideal hiding place. I really thought my shower might scare her into finding a new hiding place, but behind the toilet is where she wants to stay.
In other news, I'm writing again. Slowly but I have written a little in the last few days. I'm working on a halloween fic so it won't be posted for awhile but as long as I write, little by little, it'll get done. :) I wonder where my writing ability went though. I used to find it so easy... I guess I go through phrases with it. Just like everything else.
EDIT:
I just got the shock of my life to find a cat in the doorway to my lounge. I think she went for a drink, and has returned to the toilet, but I'm just happy to see that she will come out on her own.
