I took Elsa to the shelter on Friday for a nail trim. I figure if I'm a little less afraid of her it would make things easier.
I was horribly impressed that the staff member took her out of her carrier right in the lobby and she and the manager took care of them right there. There was talk of getting her spayed - hopefully on Tuesday - and then I brought her back home.
Ella was unimpressed that her mom was gone..

| Party Time! Excellent!! |
 |
| Oh, she's back.. OK. |
after the trip I thought I would push the envelope and try picking her up. The first time went not so smoothly, as she didn't trust me and had no idea what I intended to do, so I very quickly put her on the floor. After that I tried again and got her up off the floor and transported her and it went very well. I'm no where near ready to do the cuddle hold.. but maybe in time.
I also brought my husband down into the room. That went good too. She was over active as usual but he stayed still and nothing more happened than her asking to be patted. Ella however did her best to take him down. She bit his foot, rabbit kicked it, and worked her cute charms on him.. it was really sweet.
While I was at the shelter I noticed that both Tiki and Niki were still up for adoption. I so hope they went home this weekend..

ReplyDeleteIs it me, or is Ella the world's smiliest (smiley-est?) kitty?
ReplyDeleteThat Ella is seriously adorable. Glad Miss Elsa got her nails trimmed - it does help. :) Cleo and I are still negotiating her "cuddlieness" but she isn't as bad as Elsa.
ReplyDeleteElsa just need a firm no nonsence hand,and that you are the Alpha cat in charge,she's just unsure of the rules and needs to learn them which I have faith that you can teach her,just remember NO FEAR!
ReplyDeleteWe hads to laugh at Ella's "MEH" at mama cat coming home. MOL!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Elsa! And you can come over to tame Scouty next.
ReplyDeleteWe got our fingers and paws crossed that Elsa realizes soon that you're friendly! And that those two boys get adopted quickly!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the day of cuddle hold will come soon.. And I hope Niki and Tiki will find forever home very soon!
ReplyDeleteSooner or later Elsa will become a lap cat (we have our paws and toesies crossed!)
ReplyDeleteElla is melting our hearts!
ReplyDeletePoor Ella. I wonder what she went through before she found you. You're doing great work. Meow from all of us! Ellen, Au, Target and Guido.
ReplyDeleteElsa, that kitten face is just pure joy to look at!
ReplyDeleteI hope Tiki and Niki will find a loving home forever soon!
