I haven't been able to get any really good pictures of miss Ottolie yet because when she's not napping under my bed she's haranguing me for scritches and won't stay still... She seems to be adjusting well so far, though, and even poked her head out of my room for a bit earlier! She hasn't shown any interest in Poptart's old cardboard hide or the fabric fishy hide that I put out, but hopefully that's only a matter of time. Well, for the fish, at least. The cardboard hide might be too saturated in Pippo smell (& fur) for her lol... but we'll see.

I'm going to go out to petsmart today and see if I can't grab her some stairs up to my bed or a nice short cat tree or something; her missing leg is an amputation rather than a congenital feature, and the surgery was only a month ago, so she's pretty clearly still adjusting to the tripod situation. Wobbly girl... I don't know if she's going to want to use anything like that just yet tbh but I'd rather have it available for her sooner than later.

She also seems to be totally uninterested in dry treats so far (although I have some Churu I want to test out on her), which is extremely funny to me given that Poptart also had no interest in treats. I'm just fated to bond with kitties who can't be treat-motivated for anything I guess 😭
