Happy new rescue cat day. My wife and daughter went to the shelter yesterday to pick up this 10-ish yo cat who was rescued from a bad living situation (apparently, she had sores, malnourishment, and some other ailments). She promptly showed her gratitude by immediately bolting when the box was opened and spending most of yesterday evening under the bed, plotting her revenge.

We were going to name her "dobby" because the pic on the shelter website showed her before she'd grown out new hair, etc. but now we think we'll stick with the name the shelter gave her. Currently, she is making her home in what was formerly my music room (now my daughter's office under SIP guidelines). I haven't interacted with her - I'm waiting until she comes to me. I may be waiting a while, but that's OK

Anyway without further ado, here is Pearl - she's polydactyl, which is interesting (never trust a critter with thumbs):

Bro, good on you! (I'm not seeing the picture) The one year anniversary of my last little lion's demise just rolled by. Still heartbroken. Maybe I have one of those cat parasites! :azn:
 
I can't see the picture either, but congratulations and good on you for adopting her.

When I brought home Smokey, who was rescued from a schizophrenic client who couldn't care for her, she immediately went under the bed and hissed at anyone sho came near. She quickly got past that. Ten years later she spends a lot of time on one lap or another as we sit in the living room.
 
Happy new cat day......critters are the best!

Well, so far, she loves my wife and daughter but seems intimidated by me. I wonder if a man mistreated her...

I think cats are just like that with new places.
When my ex's sister moved to a new place with her family they said their cats hid in the closet for the first few days (maybe just a day or 2).
