Hili aspires to be the Maru of Poland.
Hili: A domestic cat always stumbles across some wild doors.
A: And what are you looking for in the basement?
Hili: It seems that you carried a new cardboard box down there.
In Polish:
Hili: Udomowiony kot wszędzie trafia na jakieś dzikie drzwi.
Ja; A czego szukasz w piwnicy.
Hili: Wydaje mi się, że zaniosłeś tam jakiś nowy karton.

Cats love basements, cats love cardboard boxes.
A cardboard box in a basement is Kitteh Heaven.
Sadly, I have no basement.
And not all cats love cardboard boxes. Tamar was a veritable cardboard box magnet, but Baihu has never shown any interest in them, except for one or two that he chewed on a bit.

My cat adoption takes place this afternoon (very exciting!). My whole home will be a wilderness for my new roommate to explore. 🙂
Pictures or it didn’t happen! Seriously, it would be cool to have a picture of the cat when it enters its new home.
Great idea. Thanks!
If you go to the Livestream kitten cam (noted on this website early this year) there’s a video capture of the kittens when first released from the kennel cage into the larger room.
What cats do when it enters a new home: sniff. And sniff. And sniff.

Woo-hoo! Congratulations! Thank you!

Thanks Diane and Ben. Sweet little Chloe (formerly Doodle Bug) is now hiding under the bed in my newly appointed cat room. She’s a friendly little charcoal and grey. Probably a little stressed out by her new situation. Apparently she was in the shelter for over a year.
* Sorry, that’s charcoal and white.
Woo-hoo!
Under the bed is a good place for a cat to de-stress. If nothing else, she’ll come out when she gets hungry enough.
At the same time, right now would be a great time to hang out in the bedroom, even on the bed, and just read a book or surf the Web on a laptop or anything else not vigorous. Ignore her, but be in the same room with her. Demonstrate to her, basically, that you’re not going to eat her….
Cheers,

I want photos too, but let’s remember not to stress out Chloe…you’d probably need a flash for under the bed 😀
You guys! Would gladly post photos. Need instructions for how to do so 🙂
Just email them to Jerry. Click on the “Research Interests” link at the top of the page if you don’t already have it.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Hili already *is* the Maru of Poland! (=^・ェ・^=)
