Well done! Trust me, we ALL know how hard it is. For every half decent shot of Claire I post, there has to be 10 stinkers. I can't tell you how many unusable pics I've snapped because she swings around at the last minute, lifts her tail, and points her tailpipe directly at the camera!
Claire says:
No snack for Claire, after taking the pictures I rolled up the bamboo blinds behind the drapes to see what the fascination was all about, and the fly wisely flew for its life!
Claire says:
I'm going to take it very cautiously. I'm not going to force the issue if it's clear she hates the harness, but obviously I do expect some initial resistance, that hopefully she will get over. And even then, I will just walk her around the apartment building hallways/lobby/elevators until I get a sense of how she reacts to meeting strange people, and situations, and after doing that for a few weeks, and only if she seems unflappable, we will venture out into the outside world.

That's a kitty drinking fountain. That thing she's licking is a big dome that the water sheets down. It just looks white because of condensation that forms on the inside of the dome.

Reposted this pic to point something out...I adopted Claire from a Petsmart, but couldn't take possession for 3 weeks, so she went back to her foster home till I could pick her up. Last time I saw her at the store she looked perfect, and when I went to pick her up to take her home...it's tough to tell here because her pink scalp looks kind of orange...that's a giant bald spot on top of her head! The foster/rescue people I think were worried I was going to pass, but I figured, aw jeez, nobody else is going to want her like this, I better look after the little monkey. It started growing back 2 weeks later. The vet reckoned it was just the stress of having the litter, and being shuffled back and forth between homes, and pet stores.
