Omlette and Strudel - cute names for two cute 3 month old kitties. This was a challenge foster, not the normal foster assignment. These guys desperately needed socialization. They needed to learn how to be around people and the regular world. These girls were part of a large litter that was relinquished to the Humane Society so it was not really clear what their life was like for the first three months.
Strudel was the first to come out of her shell, she really wanted to be hugged and loved, but she was very nervous about it. After a week or so, she was a real love bug, but always with an initial quick scurry away, then she would come back for a pet or hug. She actually fell in love first with our dog Roy. She was always desperate to get to him and they went nose to nose several times. Omlette was another story. Although the same in the beginning, she never gave in to us. In two weeks, I never got to pick her up or really see her as a house cat. She played with her sister like a regular kitten, but once a human came near, she was out of there like a rocket. I felt bad that she was always so nervous and she spent lots of time observing Strudel with people, but it just never appealed to her. I know someone will love her and give her the home she needs, it just might take a while.
I was a bit shaken up when I had to give them back to the center. They both were sick with sneezes and congestion. They had stuffy noses! When I took them to the vet, they kept them to give them proper treatment, but that also meant I never got to say goodbye. I met the vet who was going to treat them, really, really nice guy. I know they went into good hands, but maybe not such a happy new year for Omlette and Strudel!
