    LOL! Is there anyone here who has a long-haired calico girl who DOESN'T call her fluff-butt? Although I'm also liking muffin-head - I call my two that a lot too

    Debbie, she is just gorgeous! I've always loved long-haired Calicos ... and she has a look in her eyes very much like dear Peanut! I know you have many happy years to come with beautiful Robin!

    Thanks again everyone. I'm sitting in the bedroom with her now. She is still "in hiding" so to speak, but I can hear her purr from here. If any of you remember P & CJ's "bunk beds"

    well, Robin's "hiding" place is the bottom bunk. We keep the door wide open though, so she's really not "in hiding," but at least she feels safe.

    The sliding door between the front and back of the motorhome has been open all day when we've been home, so both Robin and CJ are free to come and go. Robin has stayed "in hiding" and CJ has come and gone. He comes in, slowly sneaks up to where he can see her, then sits and stares for awhile, then gets bored and leaves. She either just looks at him or continues sleeping, pretty much unconcerned.

    She did come out around sunset. Used the litterbox and then came over by me (I was getting ready by the sink) and started in with major head bumpies looking for attention. I couldn't believe it - head bumpies!!! I've been waiting for a head bumper ever since I lost my last head bumper. She could not get enough of my pets and sweet talk.....until CJ came in that is. Then she went back "in hiding" and we had to head out for an hour or so.

    I heard a story from a friend of the guy we got her from. He said that he doesn't think that she has ever been outside the motorhome that they lived in. Said that even in summertime when they were home - in their house - they just kept the air on in the motorhome for her and didn't even bring her in the house! I don't know how true this all is, but it's no wonder she's so starved for attention! The more I get to know her, and the more I hear about the life she led, the more and more I'm so glad we took her. She is such a sweet girl and if we come back here next year and the old guy we got her from is still around, I bet he doesn't even recognize her because she will totally come out of her shell with all the attention she will be showered with around here.

    Oops, forgot to mention that she is about 6 or 7 years old.

    She is out exploring the living room now! She just got up and sauntered on out! CJ is on his normal perch, just watching, not growling or hissing. She growled a little at him, but is much more interested in exploring. And they said she was a scaredy cat - ha!

    Sounds like Robin understands her job perfectly and probably knows just how to keep a little boy in line

    Debbie,

    I've been thinking about Robin and how fortunate she is to be a part of your family now. You are so right - this little girl has a whole new world to explore and people (and CJ of course, ) to love. Once she feels secure in her new home, I'm sure a new dimension to her already wonderful personality will bloom. I can hardly wait to hear the stories and see the pictures. What fun

    Please give Robin and CJ hugs for me,

    Betty
    Yours in Whiskers

    I'm so happy she is now with you and Terry! What a wonderful life she will have now. She has lots of years to make up for! Sounds like she'll be out of her shell in no time. I'm happy for all of you!
