Her sister, Moon Dust, is still pretty 'keep your hands off of mw' but will, on occasion, allow humans to give her some affection. Her brother, Space Boy' is the most socialized of the 3. Back when they were still feral kittens he was the first one to approach me and let me pick him up. Moon Dust became kind of receptive. Carys was the only one who would never approach me or let me approach her. I was shocked when my friend was able to scoop her up.

Every once in a while she used to hop up on me for some attention but the first time I had a house full of company, she reverted back to hiding away. She's only 'popped out' once, when someone else was in the house. That was when my friend, who originally caught her, was here for a visit.

I love her so much and have unending patience with her. Maybe that's starting to pay off.
