Through The Autism Lens

Scaredy Cat

... What do you see?

I see bravery and kindness.

This is me stroking our cat Mitzy. I like Mitzy lots but she scares me. She used to jump on me and scratch me when she was a kitten, and she also chases me too! She does make me laugh though because she chases her own shadow around the room and tries to catch flies as well. She came and sat next to me on the bed this morning and very kindly let me stroke her. If you look closely enough you can see the uncertanty in both of our eyes on what each other is going to do! But she stayed there for quite a while and kindly let me stroke her without trying to scratch me and I was brave enough to oblige.
