another good day

When I went to see Peter (Oliver??) this morning, he wasn't in the trash can!!!  He was hiding behind the toilet, but still, it was huge.  I got him to come out on his own by offering him some food, which is also a big step for him.

His tail is still mostly between his legs though.  I can get him to lift it when I scratch his tushie, but it immediately drops when I move somewhere else.  I started him on Rescue Remedy last night.  I brought him out of the bathroom for a quick walk around the house (and gave him his first dose)  He saw all of my cats, and I could see he really liked the idea of other kitties.  He must have been part of a clowder before coming to the shelter.  I wish this were a few months ago, so I could find him a friend as I bet he'd come out of his shell a lot faster with someone to cuddle up to.
