Sad Clown Face

Aw, the most heart-tugging little trend has started in my home. Even though it's now been about 3 weeks since the renovations in my apartment were complete, and so it's been 3 weeks since I've had to lock trusty cat Cleo in the bathroom, she's still afraid of it every morning. My poor sweet kitty is completely normal when we wake up in the morning, running around and enjoying her breakfast.

But, every day, at around 8 am - which is about when I'm out of the shower and getting dressed - she now quietly goes and hides in the closet or under the bed. Nothing soothing that I say will coax her out, and so lately I've decided to just let her hide until she feels comfortable again in the mornings. But the wary, anxious look on her face every morning just breaks my heart. I can't wait until she trusts me again!

In other news, lots of progress on the moving front this week. I've turned in my notice to the current building, set up an appointment to do all the paperwork in the new place, hired movers, set up my new utilities, and have even started packing. Wheee!

Aw...poor little thing, and poor little you! Whenever we get the kitties back home from being boarded at the vet, they spend several days walking low to the ground and hiding from us. It's so hard - but I'm sure she'll get past it and be herself again!
