Adoption Tails: Ronnie

 Ronnie

1 day: Ronnie is doing well. She's been renamed to Peri (like the Peri-peri sauce). She found a safe place in the coat closet and has been nesting there for all of Saturday and most of Sunday. Around 11pm Sunday, she decided to come out and roll around and race in and out the room. Peri looked tense but decided to explore the apartment so the owners have left the room door open now for her to come and go as she pleases. She still has her closet as her own space. Peri is eating lots but not drinking much water so the owner has been mixing in water in her wet food. She likes chin and back scratches, not yet trusting enough for the owner to hold her but that is fine.

1 week: Peri's doing fine. She eats well. She sleeps during the day and comes out after 10pm and races around the house on her own, for hours on end. The owners call her "party girl". She still runs away when they come closer but would jump up to cuddle if they are in bed. Peri does not touch a single drop of water. They got her a cat fountain but have yet to see her drink from it. They have been mixing water into her food which she cleans the plate every time. She loves wet food and raw food. The owners think she is hydrated enough because she pees more than once a day and poos once a day.

 1 month: Peri's doing well. She sleeps during the day and plays at night til dawn. She has two cat trees, a cat tunnel, a cat cave made from cardboard and lots of toys which she plays with all of them. She uses the litter robot like a pro. She treats the owners like peers/parents because she likes to invite them to play from under the bed and naps next to them at night (only a nap because she will later roam around the house and play on her own). She also likes to sit by the windows, either to sunbathe or to spy on people on the street. She loves food, both wet and dry. Still drinking very little water but the owner boiled chicken bones without salt to make stock for her and she seems to love drinking that. Overall, Peri is healthy, happy and the owners love her.
