Yes, cats are grounds for constant bewilderment.\u00a0 I have nothing particularly specific to support this statement this week, but they’re all unique with special personalities and different interactions.<\/p>\n
Lady and Rossie don’t like one another, but if I hear Rossie screaming, it isn’t necessarily Lady beating up on her anymore.\u00a0 Floyd and Tarzan have taken to causing her to yell as well.\u00a0 Nobody is hurting anyone, but they aren’t respecting Rossie’s space and desire to be left alone. Mr. L informed me that Tarzan jumped Rossie this morning, and Lady stood by and watched.\u00a0 Part of me would like one of the others to defend the one being jumped, but then I realize it’s a good thing the other cats don’t get involved in squabbles, or we’d have a constant ball of screaming fur in this house, and that wouldn’t be a good thing.<\/p>\n
With the Reconcile, Lady is much better at minding her own business.<\/p>\n
Floyd is still getting his medicine, but I think we still have a problem with him.\u00a0 About once a week, I find a marking on the front door.\u00a0 That’s probably a statement about Moose or another outside cat.\u00a0 I cleaned it up this morning and sprayed the area with Felliway.\u00a0 I don’t know if that will help or not.\u00a0 His other “favorite” spot is the coffee maker.\u00a0 We rarely use it, and I’m beginning to suspect I may never want to use it again anyway. (I mean, ewwww.) Mostly, I cannot fathom what he finds so attractive about that spot.\u00a0 I cleaned it up and sprayed that area with Felliway.\u00a0 At least, I think it’s Floyd, but there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n
Rossie hasn’t come down in the evening this week like she did last week, but I’ve seen her in the kitchen eating in the afternoon, and she’s been more receptive to attention from Mr. L.\u00a0 He was petting her with one hand this morning, and his other hand was nearby, and she asked him to use both hands.\u00a0 He got a chuckle out of that.<\/p>\n
I’ll be taking Lady, Tarzan, Floyd, Natasha, and Delta to San Antonio with me this week.\u00a0 Everybody should be happier with fewer cats per area.<\/p>\n
Delta is the morning kitty.\u00a0 She wants her petting in the morning and is less receptive throughout the day.\u00a0 Ruby is visible throughout the day but not approachable.\u00a0 The funny thing is, they all like to be petted, but it’s as if they forget they have to let the human approach them if they want that experience.<\/p>\n
Natasha, Ajax, Lady, and Tarzan have no such concerns.\u00a0 Daphne, mostly, doesn’t either.\u00a0 Floyd and Delta are reasonably approachable — Floyd is nervous about being caught to get his medicine, and Delta has her moments.\u00a0 Bringing us down to Ruby and Rossie who keep forgetting they no longer have feral concerns.\u00a0 Sneaky is more approachable than either of them, even though she has her own rules we must follow.\u00a0 Moose, of course, is still his own cat — willing to eat our food and hang out on our porch and in our yard, but not willing to be touched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
