Teia being Brave

Before I toddle off to bed, would like to say I am proud of our Miss Teia.

She likes to patrol the yard (weather permitting) and got in her front yard patrol this morning. She went right, towards our neighbor Chris' house instead of left into her bushes as usual.

We were standing at the edge of the driveway, she was inspecting the little bit of grass showing there.

Chris came out to look at a car he just bought to restore (an older Triumph). Missy T just sat there looking at him for several minutes instead of running for the door as she has done every other time someone not Anita and I appeared on the scene.

As the conversation Chris and I had was winding down, Missy T walked to the exposed grass before the front steps, stopped to examine that for a few minutes. When Chris went in, she went in...

A really big breakthrough for our formerly fearful feral.

Anita repeated the experiment last night, to the same effect.

Will try again tonight.

Jade had almost zero interest in the bathroom.  She would wait right outside the door for my husband to finish showering, though, because she knew when he was done, it was 'play time'.

well just proves they have decided they can all get along just fine now that they know one another....interesting with the shower, my little Tori does the same thing with the bathtub, loves crawling around the edge when I'm in the tub...patiently waiting for me to get out and drain it, than she is in as fast as she can when the tub is empty. one time made the leap a little to quick and there was still some water left, thought this would end that game...but didn't:)

Talked to Anita a little bit ago (I'm in Massachusetts for a family gathering).

She left the door to the boys room open last night at bed time.  Things went well until Missy T wanted her morning water time in the shower stall.

Buff and Cooper have discovered the shower water, too.

Anita got the boys into the nursery and Teia had her shower time.

The boys are now out 90% of the time when there is at least 1 human in the house.  Things are going well enough that even when we are both gone, if it's not more than an hour or so, the boys stay out.

We just need to lock them up once in awhile to let Teia have an undisturbed meal.

You have a lot to be proud of.  Thanks to your love and gentle care, Missy T has become the happy girl she was meant to be.

She has come so far, her progress with the boys doesn't surprise me.  I think we are going to hear even more exciting news from you very soon!!

Sorry to throw that at you...just so proud of Miss T.

I left the boys out while I was gone for a few hours on errands.  Teia was asleep in the Lay-Z-Boy and they were napping upstairs in the crow's nest.

They all eat about half their meals in the kitchen now, separated by about 6 feet.

OMG!!!

Pip I was afraid to read your post from your heading. I kept waiting for something bad to happen to Miss T. Relieved it turned out to be a really nice breakthrough for her with no one getting hurt-----

I think your two young Sirs have broken through the Queens fortress wall!
All Hail Sir Buff and Sir Cooper!!!!
