Hello... I'm Emily Pickles, and I need to tell you something important right from the start.
My world turned upside down when my beloved human passed away. I found myself living in a dog crate, scared and angry at everything, not understanding why my safe life had disappeared. I was so frightened that I hissed and growled at anyone who came near - it was the only way I knew how to protect myself when I felt so vulnerable.
You see, I'm front declawed, which means I can't defend myself the way other cats can. When you've lost your claws and then lost your whole world, everything feels dangerous. But my foster family has been incredibly patient with me, and slowly - so very slowly - I'm remembering that humans can be trustworthy.
Here's what's changed: I have discovered the absolute magic of Temptations treats. When those crinkly packages come out, something in me relaxes. I've even learned to let my foster human pet my head while I eat them, and sometimes... sometimes I surprise myself with a little purr. It feels good to purr again.
I'm much calmer now than when I first arrived. I have my special chair - MY chair - and I love my food routines. These predictable comforts help me feel secure. But I need you to know that I'm still learning to trust. I decide when I want affection, and sudden movements still frighten me. Some days I'm ready for gentle pets, other days I need my space, and that's just how I am right now.
I'm looking for someone who understands that healing from trauma takes time - maybe months, maybe longer. Someone who won't rush me or take my cautious moments personally. Someone who sees my progress in small victories: the day I purr during treats, the evening I don't run when you move slowly around my chair, the moment I choose to sit near you instead of hiding.
If you're the kind of person who believes that earning a traumatized cat's trust is one of life's most meaningful achievements, and you have the patience to let me set the pace, I might just be your girl.
Learning to trust again, one treat at a time,
Emily Pickles ?
P.S. Did I mention I really love those Temptations treats? They're basically magic for building trust.
