update two:
well i had thought she'd want to hide in the sanctuary of the nursery. i brought the ferrets in there for bedtime (they free roam all day then retire to the safety of their cage for bed). i thought she wouldn't mind much since they couldn't get out but she hid then came out, sat in front of it, and hissed three times in a row..it was hysterical!
she spent the evening on the windowsill looking out to the backyard..when i came in, she popped out, rubbed against my legs and rubbed against my hands for petting..yet alternated the rubbing with hisses intermittently, hiss and love, hiss and love! i have to say that's the first time i've seen that! she's obviously undecided...again, i had to giggle.
i was going to leave her as i had kuan yin and tigger in the living room for morning ferret playtime...well, she wouldn't stand for it! she was READY to get out of that darned room! i looked at her as if to say "don't say i didn't tell you so, kid" and opened the door without blocking her way.
to my surprise, kuan yin did not attack or engage with her. she sat wide eyed and watched from a distance as shelby explored. tigger didn't notice and laid in the sun for his nap. baby bear (my deaf ferret) was intrigued and tried to approach her numerous times. she hissed and spat and pounded her declawed paws at him in a stomping manner. he got the point after a few minutes and let her be and she sat behind the fireplace. then proceeded down the hall toward the bedroom!
so, as she didn't wanna be in the nursery and was fed up with the living room, i let her in.
my ferrets take their afternoon nap in here so after about an hour to herself i let them in and figured i'd let her out if she wanted.
she was hiding under the bed like i suspected. only problem: that is where the ferrets like to nap. i heard hisses and pounding of paws then all settled as each made their way to their own corners.
and it's only the afternoon!
i had planned to do this more slowly but in a way it turned out jumping right in..
she's lovey but wow, i do see the tortitude.
it's nice though..i was expecting her to be more skittish like tigger and cuddles were..it's good to know she can stand up for herself.
i'm still shocked kuan yin almost seemed scared. it's like she knew she was a tortie and wouldn't put up with it..LOL. we'll see what happens...it's only afternoon.
