Real talk? People are SCARY! And when you've never lived in a house before, moving into one means a lot of changes and that's also SCARY. But people are the source of really nice pets and super yummy treats and it's warm (or cool!) in houses with plenty of food and soft places to sleep. So, I'm trying really hard to be brave and "do it scared." My foster mom says I'm doing a super good job, even though I sometimes still hiss at her when I'm startled (I always accept pets right afterwards, though, as soon as I recognize her). That's why she says I shouldn't have a delicate name, but something strong while still pretty, like the metal palladium (even though she's lazy and shortens it to Palla). My social battery does tend to run out pretty quickly right now, because it's hard work being brave, so I need time to myself after I get pets or play with people (still trying to wrap my head around this one, tbh). If you can be patient with me while I figure out this whole peopling thing, I'd love a forever home where I can continue to stretch my wings.
