Good evening and happy holidays! I wanted to let you know how Waffles is doing. Since we got her in June 2023, we have been following her lead and working with her during this time. It has been a process.

As the year comes to a close, Waffles is now fully acclimated to the entire house and is still learning the “kitty politics” but nothing horrible - some growling, hissing and chasing - but that is subsiding as time passes.

Waffles decided in early December to come down to the main floor and stay down here with everyone. She moves between all the floors in the house now like she’s always been here. 

 Her fave spots are the cradle on the bay window and the top of the fridge. She loves pets and the dot and has bonded quickly to Zanzibar. Whenever she goes to the vet for a nail trim, Zanzibar comes along and even the techs noticed she’s not as stressed when he accompanies her. 

She loves dry food, wet food, treats, cat nip, cookies, ham, chicken, cheese, pudding, rice, peas, chocolate milk (not reg milk), ribs, pork, bacon, pizza, toast, Chinese and Mexican food. Waffles is a true blue Tuxie with the food.

Waffles let’s me pick her up and hold her/carry her for 30-40 seconds, before her disdain begins, which is fine because that’s all I need to get her into a carrier to go to the vet.  She’s learning the schedule /routine of food, work and bath time - she’s loves water and loves to be in the bathroom when one of us showers. 

She responds to her name and will follow me when I ask her - though not all the time as she is a cat .
