Mirri does this funny/sad thing where she sneaks up on her rollerball toy, whaps the ball into motion, then steps away casually like "Who did that? Not me!" She goes back and does it again after a few minutes too. It's like she's afraid to get caught playing π

I just got back from a trip and Mirri is all "WhhhOooOo are you??"

You'd be amazed by how much bigger they can get
Basically just some fluff and giant googly eyes

Big drama this week as I repeatedly tried & failed to cut a huge knot out of Mirri's fur. She's terrified of scissors (and human hands). Finally drugged her with Gabapentin & snipped off the knot while she was too woozy to move. Here she is enraptured by her squirrel show

Mirri has a bad knot under her arm. Now I have to catch her in exactly the right place, moment, and mood while I have access to scissors. Cross your fingers for me! Last time it took weeks

One lovely thing to come out of this move so far is that Mirri considers the bed a safe spot. She's been hanging out on it with me and even sleeping there throughout the night! A HUGE leap forward for this little girl

Mirri did a brief and terrified tour of the entire apartment then retreated under the bed. She's been there all day
Yes
YES
The Mirri is out!
It's even wilder that she's out *during* the day π€―

!!! SHE'S OUT
She wants nothing to do with me, as I'm the villain who did this to her βΉοΈ

Mirri was brave last night! She wasn't under the bed when I woke up, but she'd used her litterbox and eaten a little food. I frantically searched the house for her and found her wedged in a dirty broom closet. Petrified.
I deliberately didn't wash everything like I normally do, just so she'd have the familiar scents. But so far, it's not much comfort
