Daphne has a clean bill of health and has been free run of all areas of the house the other cats have access to.\u00a0 She’s a delightful kitten.<\/p>\n
We left her cage up for Lady.\u00a0 When Daphne went for her second kitten shots and her rabies shot, I took Lady with me.\u00a0 You may recall we’re concerned about her aggressive behavior with the other cats, and it seemed like it may partially have been caused by pain.\u00a0 Lady did have a pain response in her mid back area.\u00a0 Once the vet ruled out illness as a cause, she decided it’s back pain, muscular in nature.\u00a0 For treatment, we were to give half a baby aspirin twice a day mixed in with some canned cat food.\u00a0 At the same time, I wanted to limit Lady’s freedom so the cats who have been more intimidated by Lady would feel freer to move above.\u00a0 Lady was more than willing to get into the cage for some canned cat food.\u00a0 The aspirin seemed to provide relief by the next day.\u00a0 Instead of clumping down the stairs, she was able to move more rapidly.\u00a0 She never stopped jumping up on things, but now she was doing it more often.\u00a0 After a couple of days, I still felt a little tightness in her back, but I gave her some basic massage, and that seemed to help.\u00a0 She’s still conducting feline beat-downs, but they don’t seem to have the same intensity.\u00a0 We’re seeing more of Ruby downstairs now.\u00a0 Rossie is still reclusive, and I’m going to keep locking Lady up at night in hopes of seeing progress with Rossie.<\/p>\n
Daphne goes back for her third kitten shots in two weeks.\u00a0 I’ll probably take Lady along for a follow-up.\u00a0 For now, Lady’s not getting aspirin, but if I notice her experiencing pain, we’ll try another course.<\/p>\n
We’re experiencing a rainy cold snap here in Central Texas.\u00a0 That means Natasha is curled up on a register somewhere.\u00a0 Everyone else is on a cushion somewhere.<\/p>\n
Sneaky is wherever she tucks herself away under the house.\u00a0 She comes up to eat and disappears back below.<\/p>\n
Amended:\u00a0 Lady went out of her way to attack Rossie tonight, so she’ll be in the cage until we can figure out how to manage her aggression.\u00a0 On a brighter note, Ruby and Daphne were playing tonight.\u00a0 Ruby has been more visible this week with Lady not able to get to her.\u00a0 I think I’ve been seeing more of Delta, too.\u00a0 Now to get Rossie out from under the dresser where she’s taken refuge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
