The Ghost Comes to Light

[bunn]

Fankil kitty has been slowly emerging.  First we started seeing him a bit more in Pp's study, rather than being wedged behind the printer cabinet all the time.  So we decided to let him out for a bit.  It took him a few days to dare to do more than venture just past the door then run away,  but he's now got to the stage where he's racing around the house playing with Gothmog.  He's still pretty wary of us, but I've seen him sitting on the sofa with Rosie.  This morning he even ran through the living room in broad daylight!  Sadly I didn't have my camera to hand.

Here they are this evening.  I had put food out, and of course Gothmog had to eat first.  See Fankil politely waiting for her to finish.  She's definitely the boss despite being smaller.



He started eating.  She decided that there might be a moth, and began leaping like a loon waving her paws.  He gave her a Look.


Then she wanted to know what my camera was doing and came over to play with the strap. And Fankil came after her!
This was about as close as he wanted to get to me, then he ran away. But this is definitely progress.



We have... decided to adopt another cat.  When Fankil was at the rescue, his best buddy was a little white cat who had come in pregnant.  They were obviously very close when we met Fankil at the rescue (he tried to hide under her and trod on her tiny kittens!) Now the kittens have got big and she's ready to be spayed and find a home, so we decided that we'd offer her one and reunite them.   I wonder what Gothmog will think of her?

The dubious look on Fankil's face as Gothmog goes after the moth!

But look at him getting brave and checking out the camera. :)

Does little white cat have a name yet? (Fankil's going to be happy to see his buddy again!)

What a beauty Fankil is! And I'm glad he seems to be more forward now. I hope he will be happy to get his buddy back!

Awwww, so lovely to see him properly! I hope the little white cat settles well and helps him further with his confidence. Looking forward to seeing her

Such cute kitties! I'm so glad to hear that Fankil is beginning to feel more at home.

What a beautiful ghost! Not quite as much of a shadow as Gothmog - or maybe he's a shadow and she's a silhouette.

Let's hope the girls don't decide to gang up on Fankil. Or Pp! :-)

Congratulation! He IS beautiful.

Glad he's getting braver! He's a beautiful boy. Hopefully the induction will be acceptable to GothMog, and will help him settle in even more! :-)

Yay Fankil!

So the Morgan Library is having a Tolkien Art & Stuff exhibit, and there's of course a catalogue, and I thought of you...

if that doesn't come through, their site is themorgan DOT org, and the catalogue is in their shop.
