It has been one week now since Amanda moved back home. The house is settled for the most part.
(bathrooms still in progress, but usable!!) BUT-the cats. I am wondering if we introduced them to soon. We had read to keep them separated for a couple of weeks, and we had intended to do that. But, the door to Amanda's room does not stay closed nicely and the first night the cats let themselves out by pulling on the bottom of the door. So on Sunday when we got up, they were already out. It has not gone as bad as we had thought it would, but yesterday there was pouncing towards Gemma (my kitty) by Yoshi. It is unclear if it play (he likes to do this with his sister) or aggression. He is also hissing at Gemma more. Abby seems to just be steering clear of the whole matter. Gemma wants to stay in our bedroom. It makes me sad. I know it will take time. Patience has never been one of my virtues.
My husband( cat liker-not lover) says he can't believe we have 3 cats in our house. For the past 4 1/2 years he couldn't believe there was ONE cat. But, he is adjusting well, he just has less tolerance for the hissing towards Gemma. I had always thought people who treated their pets like humans, were a little crazy. We have JOINED the club!! Just as protective of the kitty as the daughter!
To days of harmonious living among the kitties. . .
