This is a little weird, but one thing someone suggested to me with Darb was to read to her out loud. Like, sit kind of close, don't look at all and read something out loud. It was incredibly soothing to me and seemed okay to her. Though sitting on the floor reading SPN fic out loud was a little odd.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It took a couple of months to get my semi-feral girls to trust me. They were perfectly content to hide for hours on end. I would occasionally seek them out, talk to them and just touch their feet or let them sniff my hand. It was a long process.
Except when I went to bed. They slept on top of me from the first night. Goofballs.

Hey, I'm in overtime now! Woo! I think this one day of tv work is going to buy me some new glasses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I at least managed to get my uncertainness validated by the business floor. My job next week is more impossible, not less, but at least I have people who will listen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think that sleeping near cats makes them trust you. They're predators, they know no one falls asleep in the presence of an enemy.

I think at first they just thought the human was off when the lights were off. Some kind of kitten logic extrapolated from the lights at the shelter turning off when the humans left.
