It took a bit of time for our lady to settle in this time as she's been away for a year and hates the carrier - bit of hissing and swiping at her human before he left - but nothing a bit of churu knockoff can't do to lift a kitty's mood.
First point of order was bathroom, followed by a general investigation, then of course food (while I was rushing around tidying up and making my own dinner) - guaranteed cutest meows whenever food is involved - but I forgot then that I have to keep her out of my room if I open my closet, because she loves hiding in it and refusing to come out and there was more swiping and angry huffs as I tried to coax her out.
She's pretty settled now though, headbutts and trills and all, and keeps coming back to sit on/near my socks, so I feel rather honoured π

She has definitely become sassier this time around, thought I'd put treats in one of her toys but it was just normal dry food and she went from super excited to instantly cold and uninterested and even hissed at me later when my leg inadvertantly brushed against her... but then she followed me into the bedroom and has been going in and out and I later heard her merrily crunching on the dry food. and she randomly mrrps at me and probably wants to play but It Is Sleepytime Now. Tomorrow I shall try and wear out some of her energy after work.
SOX!
I am glad you have sighted the sox. I can now sleep. SOX!
Ah the little Soxgirl! Itβs been a while
I'm just happy that she remembers this place! I realise it needs a good dust and vacuum though... poor girl is sneezing in one particular corner.
