Taki on the Counter

I have said this before, but Taki is slow.  I am not sure if her brain was damaged befoe I found her in the yard and started tending to her, or if it was because of the way I tried to manage her, or the lack of social cat stimulation. 

She has learned to open doors, but is still very hesitant. She climbs on furniture, and has learned to jump on furniture. She has learned to ask to be let into the house from the garage. 

Tonight, I found her on the kitchen counter, eating cat greens. This is the very first time I have found her on the kitchen counter. While this may seem to be a bad thing, I hugged her and praised her. I grow the cat greens on the kitchen counter because that is the best place for them to get sunlight. I had taken to placing the mature cat greens on the floor so Taki could access them as well as Haiku and Sake. That was the right thing to do, because, of course, Taki did want to access them.

Tonight, for the first time, though, I found Taki on the kitchen counter. This is a break through!
