How well Sable is integrating, not just into the gang of beasts but into the house and indoor life, pleases me immensely. In these bad photographs (one takes them quickly when Sable presents the opportunity), one can see recent progress. In the first, Sable is lying just within the sitting room, which is a new spot for her; it’s more comfortable on the carpet than the hard linoleum under the dining table. She even came into the sitting room while I was in it, relaxing on the couch.
The next photo depicts Sable finishing up some left-overs while Moxy looks on. I was at the kitchen basin, just a couple of feet away.
Then there is the image of Sable and the Mixer walking together into the sitting room. A few minutes later, Moxy jumped up onto the carpeted top of the bookcase under the window. Sable didn’t follow him; she as yet lacks the confidence to do so. Mox wasn’t trying to get away from her; he just didn’t think about her not coming with him. Soon, though, I expect to see Sable jumping up to lie under the window, as the other cats do. It wasn’t long ago that she first learned to leap up onto the bed.
With the help of her friend, and the examples of the other cats, Sable continues her journey from the feral life.
Sable is making good indoor living progress. Lovely to see her and Moxie hanging out. In this heat Precious sometimes uses the vinyl kitchen flooring to stretch out and cool off.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sight to see this morning. Makes my day. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteThis is heart-warming, John. Especially the last photo. I'm so glad she's finally seeming more settled and content with indoor life.
ReplyDeletegivin up de feralz life N livin large N in charge inn side izza grate thing sable 😺🐾‼️💚💙
ReplyDeleteAm beginning to believe that Henry needs socialization to make his next step into housecat territory.
ReplyDeleteIt's terrific to see Sable putting her paws into her new world.
I always figure human interaction can come later if need be; to get along with the other cats is the important bit. (Writes the guy with some cats who don't get along with any.)
DeleteI love that photo of her walking with Moxy!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures of Sable and Moxy together. He is certainly helping her become an indoor cat. As that Bette Midler song says, "Ya Gotta Have Friends".
ReplyDeleteI am glad she is adjusting.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to see/hear the progress! And the photo with the 2 of them walking together is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Sable, and thanks to Moxy for being such a good friend.
ReplyDeleteGood to read that Sable is adjusting to life with you and the other cats
