She tried to open my screen door so I might be letting her in tonight ..at least for a couple hours. The only problem is recently when I let her in she doesn’t want to leave. There is 100% no way I am picking up that cat! No way. I don’t think that bridge is ever going to get crossed. I’m still working at my fear of cats and there’s no way I could go to bed with her in my apartment. And I also don’t have enough things for her to spend the full night Like a cat litter most importantly. I think that I’m starting to understand cats though. There’s still is a lot of things I don’t understand and it’s weird to me. I really have grown to like this cat especially. At first I thought she liked me just because I was feeding her but there has been Plenty of proof otherwise and she still wants to hang out even when she already ate. I really don’t like being inside so I sit on my patio pretty often and a lot of times she just sits next to me and is observing the yard and I think she is looking for lizards and squirrels. Also she has become more vocal with me ..I don’t know what that means. Being vocal after she ate. So it’s not because she’s hungry. If she is vocal in the morning and there is no food on the plate then obviously I know what’s going on. I might look for a book on Amazon about understanding cats better and how to make them happy and more comfortable
Good luck on that one. Cats are very mysterious. Clearly you have been adopted by the cat. Never ever think you are in charge. Haha. As for picking it up … hopefully you are petting it often. Touch is so important.
I would like to think there is a reason behind every single thing a cat does .. I just have to learn about it. As far as being in charge… Mostly I believe mother nature is in charge. So far from what I’ve learned about reading about cats and watching what she does is that I’ve learned they’re very calculated creatures and I don’t think anything they do is random. Safety is very important to them. Trust takes time. And at the end of the day that cat really doesn’t need me. I need the cat. It was alive and surviving before I started even feeling it. And I’m sure it would do just fine if I Stopped feeding it. I guess I relate to this cat because it has survived and adapted to its lifestyle and the best part is that it’s not going to come up to me and complain about some bullshit. I have been able to Pet it But that took a lot of getting used to. In the beginning I was really cautious and slow and would hold my hand out and let it come to me. It’s been cool forming a connection with this cat.
Ps: If all of my senses were as heightened as a cats is I would be very calculated as well and vigilant
@bluekoolaid_88 be familiar with how the crate door opens and closes/latches. Then when you get her in there, double and triple check that the door is closed securely..
No surprises! Some of them are tricky.
Please be careful. The only time Krieger has ever scratched me was when I was putting him in a carrier. And Eclipse sliced and diced me her first time too (she also turned into liquid with supercat strength). Just a warning

I’m about to get the fly swatter!
