Poor Arwen. I got out from my encounter with Lilith, when I walked up to Arwen, and the other kittens. They all sniffed Lilith on me. At first, Arwen was ok, she was sniffing and being confused.
It was however when I tried picking her up that she got scared. She started grouching and hissing at me. She jumped away, but I stopped her. She freaked. I eventually let her go and tried to win her over again with a toy. She relaxed again, but was still hissing at me.
And then the ambiguity started. She started rolling on the floor, a sign that she wants to be cuddled and petted, giving me her belly to cuddle, while silently protest meowing at me, which then turned in to a surpressed hiss. She was like...I know you, I want to reassure myself that you are good, but that smell!!! I took her with me to the couch and cuddled her, but she was hissing all over. I eventually let her go, after I noticed she was more aggrevated than scared.
It was the whole 'Fey-Fey' debacle all over (for those who were here a year ago, remember the moment I took the basket Faith had been brought in with out of the bathroom and Arwen was sitting on the scratching post, and wanted to cuddle to then hiss, run away and come back to run away again, coz of Fey's smell?).
I eventually left her alone, and she did come back to cuddle some furniture (to reassure herself and spread her scent) near me, but she hasn't come back to cuddle herself yet. Right now she is sitting in the window behind me, and she seems to have forgotten the ordeal. I'm gonna go found out now if she's still upset ;)
