So I just left my kitty kat all alone for the whole day. I hope he doesn't trash the place.
A bit of a situation update. He's getting more active, which is good. He spent most of the day yesterday hidden behind the futon. This morning, he was playing with my kimono belt while I was having my morning coffee and chased around the foil ball a bit (that's what he was doing when I left).
He's started mewling, which is good and bad. Good, because that means he's snapping out of the shock he was probably in since yesterday. Bad, cause that means he's missing his family and other cats. The lady told me this was perfectly normal, and within 4 days, it should be all over (apparently, cats don't remember anything beyond 4 days).
I'm just glad that he seems to be getting aware of his new surroundings. He ate a bit this morning, and finally drank (which was worrying me, cause I hadn't seen him do either since he'd gotten to my place). His litter is still clean, so I hope that means he hasn't gone yet (rather than leaving a mess somewhere hidden).
He's still a bit skittish. The creaks of the hardwood floor still send him scurrying under the couch, but at least he can be coaxed out fairly easily. He seems to particularly love to pounce/chew the straps on my laptop bag. I can live with that to have a happy cat..
