Finally Luna and I have made it back to Pet Talk! We'd like to wish everyone here Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!
We have moved meanwhile, but it was more stressful and took more time than I'd thought, that's why I've been away for so long. It's still not over yet ('cause I totally have to re-do the old appartment which requires a lot of extra time, extra work and extra money), but I have decided to have a break this week, 'cause I just need some rest!
Luna adjusted very well to the new place, she loves to have so much space now and has already declared the living room as her own! :) Every time a visitor appears she would lead him to the living room to show them her scratching post, it's so sweet.
There's one thing I'm worrying about though, she's so curious now that she always tries to sneak out of the front door into the stairways where she leans over through the banisters and it scares me to death 'cause I have always visions of her falling down (it's the second floor where we're living, but when she would fall, she would land directly on an antique sewing machine which belongs to my landlord's wife, and Luna would never survive that. :(
So I have to be really careful that she doesn't walk out. The problem are my landlords themselves. It's the first time someone has a cat in the house and they are used to have access to the appartment whenever it is needed (workers, chimney sweepers and such), and he (the landlord) always leaves the front door wide open. I already insisted to be home or be called at work when someone needs to have access (they office is only a few minutes away), but he's old and forgets about a lot of things, so I have really bad feeling about this and Luna's safety, and I already start thinking it's been a mistake to move in here (don't get me wrong, the landlords are nice people, but I just don't think they will be careful enough when it comes to Luna 'cause they're not used to it and they're just too old). Anyway, this subject is giving me nightmares already. After all, one reason I have decided to move was that the neighborhood around my old appartment has become so bad and I wanted Luna to be in a safe place...
