It's great that she has a good home with you now!

Since then they've lost all interest in going downstairs and when the door at the top of the stairs is open they refuse to even enter the hallway.
But when someone they don't know comes upstairs they do come to check them out. If it's a quiet, relaxed person they usually come up to them to ask for attention, when it's a loud person they tend to keep their distance after coming over to sniff them.

When I was growing up we lived in the country and our cats were outdoor cats. Some of them were always trying to come inside when the door was open, especially if someone was cooking!

Thanks, guys. Yeah. Her coat is looking great, too. My Cinder, despite being an indoor, would rush the door trying to get out. Andi doesn't do that but she just acts in all ways like a housecat. Like I said, she is a lady-cat with house manners. She knows what scratching boards and litterboxes are, for sure.
Next week, my work schedule flips from 1 physical day and 4 virtual days to 4 physical days and 1 virtual day. I hope she won't feel abandoned.
