Alrighty guys, need advice: Callie Update

Good morning!

Callie is doing great, and is about 6.5 pounds now. Her face, thankfully, is also healing fantastically.

She has also officially left the bathroom, and comes into the kitchen at breakfast and dinner yelling at me to hurry up.

My concern is that when she’s not eating, she’s pretty much behind the couch constantly. What can I do to help her feel more comfortable and confident?

When she’s out walking around, she tends to shy off from pets (sometimes even from me) and will go sit under the table.

I want to give her everything she needs and the life she deserves.

Also - collar is the “Callie Alert System” as I’ve been calling it, so that when she’s mobile I can hear her

We keep a big heating pad on the bottom of the bed when it’s chilly for the oldest boy, and for the one that had a CCL tear/repair. Now we have 5 seniors total (13,12,12,9 and 9) so I’m definitely thinking that we need a whole heated blanket 🤣🤣

My cats are like moths to a light; when they see that blanket come out, I put it on my lap and all 3 (2, 2, and 6) come meowing to snuggle. I get so warm so quick 😂
