Last week I brought home a new addition to my home, a kitten I have named Ghost. As you may have guessed from the name, the kitten likes to hide, a lot. Her elusiveness is understandable; she was born in my Dad’s backyard and was coaxed into a neighbor’s house for the winter. She lived there with her mother, siblings, as well as the family’s two cats and one dog. It was a full house that she was slowly adapting to when her mother and one sibling found a home. Then, I brought her to my house where it’s mostly just me. So, she hid, sometimes so well I had no idea where she was. Once, she hid behind the washer and dryer and could not get back out. Even after the washer was moved, she was still hesitant to creep out for food, water and her litter box. Since then, she has started to come out from her hiding spaces and explore. She will sit on top of the couch, rather than under it. She will play with her toys and eats even if I’m in the room. Prog
