I'll go sit with the kittehs. They are hiding in the basement but can come into the house at any time.

I have her crate in the living room next to my chair, covered so that it is more cave like, but her fear of being locked up is intense. Being locked in the trailer without food or water affected her deeply. I don't know how long, but a long time; many days.

She loves the yard which is huge and she is exploring every inch. She comes back happy every time.
