HONEY UPDATE

So, what's happening with Honey, you ask.  We'll we've had our little advances and we've had our setbacks. 

Advances:  Honey comes out during the night and sleeps in the living room. She goes to her litter box also, but does so when that end of the house is quiet. She also comes out to eat when no one is around. She likes watching me play with her toys but is too shy when I try to engage her with it. 

Setbacks:  Last night I stayed up later than usual playing cards on the computer; lights were on throughout the apartment. Lo and behold, in trots Honey, at least until she sees me at the computer then she turns tail and runs, pausing a bit in the kitchen to look back. I didn't follow her. After I went to bed, she came out as usual.  Later in the night I had to get up for a short time so I decided to sit at my computer desk and turn the variable light on low. Honey was in the other room in her cat bed and did not move. I thought this was a success. After a few minutes I turned off the light and went back to bed. This morning she was under the bed and more timid, coming out only very briefly. I came home at noon and this time she came out, but almost immediately she acted scared, backed away from me and then ran into the living room. I should have known better, but I followed her and ended up cornering her. This all happened so fast I did not recognize that this was bad for kitty. She raced back under the bed and has yet to come out to me. 

Good thing: I've got 4-1/2 days at home to work on re-bonding.
