There's a cat at my house - i.e., it's my roommate's cat but I hang out with the cat a lot. Anyway, I've just found that whenever the cat meows at me it just means she wants attention. In my opinion, it just means the cat likes you and wants your attention. I understand the concern about the cat feeling anxious but cats are pretty independent. I know she's just a kitty but cats are still really independent. Besides, it's awesome that you were able to get her. I am jealous, honestly. I wish I had my own cat.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. It's been a very long time since I've had a kitten this young so I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. I hope you're able to get your own cat eventually too

Sometimes leaving on music or tv helps......also plenty of toys, at least that works for birds.

Yeah I need to get her more toys than the one she has. She’s getting into everything

Right now she has one of those wand toys with a bunch of feathers at the end of the string. She likes that. I'm thinking of getting her some catnip mice, a catnip banana, and this thing

Eventually I'll need to get her a scratching post too

Hi friends. Sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days. Been busy at work. Today I am ignoring work. Lol. I finished IOP last night. I go into aftercare. I need my case manager to send me some forms so I can sign up for that. But I think he is sick. He was our group therapist last night and he was sick and let us out early so he said he might take today off. So I will bug him on Monday if he hasn't sent the forms. I have one more individual appointment with the IOP team. That's today at 12:45 PM. I don't know what to talk about. She always starts with "What do you want to talk about today?" So that's hard sometimes. Hallucinations are good. Mood is so-so. I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving. Blue_Bird, your new kitty is a cutie pie! Is she all black and white, like tuxedo cat? That's how Helen is.
