New Kitten #2: The Shy One

Meet SP, the most elusive of the kittens!

Although we caught her on the day Lil' T came home from her surgery, she is just now getting brave enough to eat and play in the open with a human audience.

While we befriended the family of strays over the past two months, S.P. was the one who would let me get closest and actually touch her.

At first, I thought her short visit to the vet (she has a good heartbeat and is about 5 months old) traumatized her into being extra skittish, and then I realized she's probably what the vet calls my big old man: "food-driven". That is, she's a hungry girl and didn't gaf that I touched her so long as she was getting to eat.

Meeting back up with her sister was no problem. We believe she and Lil' T are pair bonded --- shortly after letting them in the same room with their carriers open, S.P. was snuggling with and getting groomed by her sister. (Sorry, having trouble adding inline images for some reason)

When we moved the kittens to the bedroom, S.P. moved into a drawer under my bed, followed by my sock drawer. We looked for an hour when she was hiding in there, because I didn't think she could actually get in without thumbs.

Today, she likes to hang with T on a blanket in a drawer under my bed, and likes to get pets while hidden. She also likes to try to groom my hand lol
