Last week my husband and I took in a rescue cat and we named him Nixon. He stayed hidden for his first few days at our house only coming out of hiding to eat and run from room to room. In week two he has begun to warm up to his surroundings and us. He is a beautiful loving cat, and we have wondered as to why this beautiful loving creature ended up being a “rescue”. This past weekend we discovered his anomaly as an avid adventurer and escape artist. The same fearful hiding cat that we took in to our home less than two weeks ago is now a demanding to be released into the wild at every turn. He shot out between my husband’s feet Saturday night as he entered our back door. The cat was literally hiding behind the curtain and darted out just as my husband opened up the door. It was quite comical to watch three grown people try and corral a feline. We were successful after some frustrating maneuvers, but we are now fearful that our Nixon will escape our home and venture out and about on his own never to be heard from again. He may be a perpetual donation getter for the numerous rescues in our town. He is constantly sleeping, eating, and trying to escape our house. That is his new routine in week two, and I hope this will be a short lived adjusting behavior just as his shyness was. To Be Continued…
