So as I already mentioned, Noah is a "spirit cat." The only time I've had one was for several months in 1984 when Bob & I sublet an apartment in NYC from an actress. Part of the deal was fostering her two cats, Showtime and Mehitable. Mehitable was social, Showtime was not. So we turned off the air ionizer and started calling them "Kitty" and "Litty" and Showtime warmed up. Anyway, last Wednesday was a milestone for Noah. He came out of hiding when I sang the "Noah Kitty is so good" song! (Of course it helped that I was filling his bowl with a can of Wellness, LOL.) He's appeared five times since then, and twice I've petted him. Progress!
