Okay, here’s an update on the situation, my wife is less than thrilled to have a kitten in our little 2 bedroom place, but I told her last night that I’m not giving up Abby. We’ve become very attached to one another, and the thought of having to give her away was breaking my cold, black heart.
Her biggest complaint was about Abby jumping up on everything, her bed, the dining room table, the kitchen counters, etc. I agree with her completely about the table and the kitchen, my biggest fear is of her jumping on top of the stove while it’s still hot and getting burned.
She loves to jump up onto my shoulders and ride around the house, and we play with her toys several times a day. We also got her a little kitty “castle” with several hiding spots and perches up off of the floor, and she loves it.
I’ve also started taking her outside into our little back yard and deck area. I wanted to wait until she was a little older, but I was outside on the deck grilling burgers for dinner, and she was at the sliding glass door wanting out, so I let her out for the first time, and it was fucking hilarious watching her run around the yard with her tail up in the air. She was having a lot of fun experiencing wet grass and dirt for the first time ever and checking out the yard for the very first time.
Our yard is completely fenced in, and she only gets to go out when I’m with her, and she’s very well behaved, almost like a dog. She comes when I call her, and if she tries to go somewhere she shouldn’t, she knows what the word “no” means.
She’s calmed down ever since that evening, and has been better at doing what she’s told, it’s a work in progress. She just needed to blow off some steam I guess.
It’s time for my afternoon batch of pills, and her daily kitty treats.
I’m not giving her up.
