Lady is a couple of weeks into her Reconcile prescription.\u00a0 We haven’t felt a need to cage her at all this week.\u00a0 We’ve heard no altercations.\u00a0 We have heard some growling when Lady strays too close to where Rossie is ensconced, but so far, Lady has respected her space.\u00a0 We’ve witnessed some sparring, especially with Tarzan and Natasha, but generally speaking, Lady is minding her own business.\u00a0 The ferals are still cringing when Lady is in their vicinity.\u00a0 I’m hoping they’ll do this less and less over time.\u00a0 Ideally, the cats will begin to interact normally and we can try reducing the medication.\u00a0 I suspect this will take a few months at best.\u00a0 Lady does enjoy being out and about.\u00a0 She likes to be near wherever we are.<\/p>\n
Rossie is moving about the house unhindered.\u00a0 She has been playing with toys and the other cats.\u00a0 She still wants nothing to do with me, but she does seek attention from Mr. L during the night.<\/p>\n
We regularly have six cats in the garden window:\u00a0 Ajax, Tarzan, Delta, Ruby, Floyd, and Daphne.\u00a0 Daphne is oblivious to everyone and clearly believes herself to be the heir-apparent when Ajax is no longer in the picture. She wrestles with Floyd (who is very gentle with her) and gets put in her place every now and again by Ajax (who wisely sees a need to remind her that she isn’t the Alpha cat just yet).\u00a0 She brushes by Lady and Natasha who generally let her pass.\u00a0 She plays with Tarzan and the ferals.<\/p>\n
Floyd is funny.\u00a0 Sometimes he wants brief moments of attention, but he also tends to hide on a shelf behind a piece of cardboard we have set up as a shield.\u00a0 If I don’t find him in the window or a corner of the living room, I can usually find him on this shelf.<\/p>\n
I had to make a run to Central Texas this week to check on the house after the freezing weather. I got there in the afternoon during the time Sneaky is usually not available (she seems to have rounds somewhere she goes on in mid-afternoon, so she doesn’t respond to being called from under the house), so I didn’t see her.\u00a0 The amount of food in the feeder was normal for what she usually leaves for her late afternoon snack, so at this point, I’m believing she’s just fine.<\/p>\n
Natasha has been sneezing for about a month.\u00a0 I may have to ask about that next time I’m at the vet’s when Dr. Val is there.<\/p>\n
Ruby is becoming more and more attuned to being petted and getting tummy rubs.\u00a0 Delta is, too.\u00a0 Delta, Floyd, and Ruby are becoming more at ease with human interaction.\u00a0 Delta is usually the warm “brick” laying next to my feet at night.\u00a0 Natasha sleeps on whatever side of me is up at night.<\/p>\n
Tarzan is more interested in being petted.\u00a0 He likes to jump up on our laps and he stands as if he’s in a dog show, and we’re supposed to pet him.\u00a0 He would take “Best in Show” with his stance.\u00a0 Ajax is just a glue cat.\u00a0 Everyone seems to be doing well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
