Thanks for your interest in Boo Boo's adjustment. CARE does a good job and is an impressive shelter. Boo Boo has been renamed and now responds to Spooky, which keeps the "ooo" sound.

She is fearful of a whole assortment of things, our dog, loud noises,and at first, my husband, whom she has bitten four times! She was apparently weaned prematurely, and "nurses" on my clothing when I hold her. It took several weeks before she even came out of her "hidey-hole" That's all the bad news.

The good news is that she now loves to be petted, will sleep on my lap, and has never once had an "accident". We think she's beautiful, and she is gradually exploring the house and runs away less. She doesn't like to be picked up, but will jump into my lap when she wants attention.

I put a goldfish bowl near her favorite spot. Sort of a feline TV show. She loves to sit on the window sill and watch the birds outside. We think she will eventually be a much-loved and happy member of our family.

Thank you for all the guidance materials, food and license that came with her. I needed every bit of it, never having had a cat we didn't raise from a kitten before.

Sincerely,
Nancy Maki
