Yesterday, I left the guest room door open in case Punky wanted to explore at some point. In less than a minute, she came out in the hall and started exploring every nook and cranny in the house. I did shut the doors to the other bedrooms and laundry room, just so she couldn't hide there.

The other cats did not pay her any mind. No hissing or fighting. I was on guard and prepared to intervene, but I didn't have to. Sydney, who has been hanging out with Punky in her room, was the only cat to chase her. Punky would just lay down in submission. Sydney pawed at her, but did not make contact..nor did she hurt her at all.

Punky was near the front door, examining it very closely. I have a feeling she would bolt and run for the hills if she got out right now. I herded her back into the guest room after a while and shut the door. When I went in later, with Sydney and treats, she came right to us.

Hubby will be gone most of the day today, so I will leave her door open in case she wants to venture out again.
