Pets

we had a terrible storm. She freaked. I spent 4 hours looking for her, knowing she was in the house -- but where??? I finally found her but it required welding gloves to get her out of hiding whereupon she immediately escaped to hide again. This time I decided to let her be. There was food and water available, she couldn't get outside, and she could find her brother. Another three days passed before she ventured out. Now she comes out and plays all night long. I can get close but having had feral cats I've decided to let her set the time frame. Just be careful she doesn't escape out the door if you leave. Her brother is super friendly so I'm sure she'll eventually take her cues from him.
Have patience.
