Okay, okay, so she's not actually a baby at a year old but you know she'll always be mama's baby no matter what. Of course, right now, she doesn't consider me to be her mama but she'll know sooner or later that I care about her.

She woke me up with her barking last night. Several times, actually, so I ended up sleeping on the sofa so I could cater to her every whim. Same as for Batman, though he didn't bark when we first got him & oddly enough, didn't bark last night in response. I sometimes wonder if he even knows she's here.

She ate like a pig last night & still wanted more. Wow. But that's why I wanted to be close to her, so I could tell what's going on. And she even took some dried mango from my hands. That only happened once, though. I couldn't get her to take the dried papaya from me this morning at 7:45am but I guess she wasn't as hungry then. And forget about meal worms. She ate them when I served them with her dinner as a "welcome to your new home" treat but she's even more cautious of me that Batman.

Which is an odd statement seeing how Batman hardly ever leaves his pouch but is quick to grab food from my fingers and gobble it up. But Catwoman...? Well, she's not even been with us for a full 24 hours yet, so I can't complain.

She's every inch a spit fire I anticipated getting. She LOVES to be out & about in her cage. And I'm happy to hear she's not trying to get OUT of her cage, either. For that fear, I've had to put her in the guest bathroom for her own safety. It's the most glider-proofed room right now. We've got 80% of the kitchen/laundry/water heater corner taken care of but those are odds I don't like. And it's too open. If she gets out, she can be literally anywhere: behind the television, sofa, bookcases...You get the idea. So, for now, bathroom it is.

We're not using it as a bathroom anymore, just so you know. After watching an episode of Mythbusters on just how filthy a bathroom can be if in use, we're just not willing to do that to our baby.

I can't wait for the 30 day Quarantine to be over with, the all-clear given & I can start to move her into the bedroom with us. This is killing me & I feel like I'm telling her she's second best but it's not true. It's just for their own safety that I do this. I don't want to risk them getting sick from each other, nor do I want Batman to get angry with her for invading his space. :/

All in due time...all in due time....I gotta remember to be patient.

I enjoy making toys for gliders. Lots and lots of toys. I also write poetry, cook, watch movies and read books. But of course, if I have any time at all, it's given to my precious suggies. :) Favorite Quote
