Azidi, Kilifi, Regulus and Cary.

Wanted to share that the last 2 nights, when I have let Azidi roam the house, she has come out and sat at the back screen door and watched the birds, neighborhood cats, and the general hum drum of the neighborhood. Also, unlike the past, when I would walk by the room, she did NOT dart back into her room. In fact, last night, I went out and sat beside her and she talked to me while she watched the outside. She also let me stroke her back. And last night, when it was time for her to go back to her room, she was a bit reluctant to do so. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to go back to her room. But she did. And I did NOT have to chase her or even threaten to chase her. All I did was sit and the floor and ask her. She walked until she reached the hall, where she finished up running. She was not upset having to go back to her room.
She is coming along beautifully. Getting friendlier with me all the time. It just goes to show that with kindness, love and patience, any frightened kitty can be won over.

I am beginning to have hopes that possibly in the future, she may tolerate exposure to the kids. Kilifi darted into her room yesterday and Azidi went up her tree only to the first shelf (about 4 feet up) and sat there bravely, while Kilifi ran to the tree and put her front paws on the shelf about a foot from Zidi's face. Zidi hissed a bit but Kiki was a good girl and did not posture at her at all, and said nothing. I picked up Kilifi and put her out and told Azidi she was a brave good girl. I also told Kilifi she was good for not attacking Azidi. That has been the least confrontational meeting they have had. We shall see.

A little smile about Azidi. She was sitting at the back door looking out, ( Do, Do, DO, looking out my back door.) when the wind gusted and blew a piece of plastic making it flap in the breeze. Poor Zidi thought a monster was after her. Took me about 5 min to calm her down. LOL

Last evening, Azidi was out and doing her exploring, and after almost 2 hours, I asked her if she was ready to go back in her room so I could release the children. She meowed at me and shuffeled off to her room. After I let the kids out, I went back into Azidi's room, and she began fussing at me. She must have meowed at me for about 5 minutes straight. I got the impression she was not happy about having to go back to her room. So, I told her that IF she would just agree to a truce between her and the kids, and just bear with a few days of discontent while she defines her limits, then she would be able to be out all the time. I told her that she did not have to interact with the kids, just set some limits and live a peaceful co-existance. After our talk, she seemed to be contemplating what I said. We shall see when Andrea visits next.

Cary do you have a screen door or baby gates on Zidi's room? Now would be the time to do that since she is indicating a desire for more freedom. Would allow her to see more and hear the rest of the house and learn the routine of the others while she's still in her safe room.
