So it looks like Baby has finally become an indoor kitty. It will be
one more complication for the move.


Bless you for going to all that trouble. I understand why you did it,
but many people wouldn't have bothered, under the circumstances.

I agree with Joy. Good Luck.

I'm still torn on what is the right thing to do. I put the collar on
her with no problem, and let her out when I got home. I was off from
workTuesday and Wednesday (today) so she's had the run of the house.
Scooter rubbed her face and sniffed her butt. Nipsy was non-commital,
more or less ignoring her. Marlo hid under my bed, but it took Marlo
months to get used to Scooter so that's simply her way of dealing with
it.

I took Baby to the vet and she got three shots, steroid, antibiotic,
and rabies. She weighs 8.2 lbs. I already know that she is negative
for HIV and Leukemia since I had her tested five years ago and it's
unlikely to have changed. The vet would have preferred if I could give
her the antibiotic orally for a week but I'm not doing that with a cat
that I'm trying to make comfortable. I did have them clip her claws
and she was pretty good about that. Her ear is looking much better
today and is scabbing over.

Monday night she yowled so loudly, from 1am right through 6am that I
had to put her back in her room and even then I could barely sleep.
Last night was better, pretty much yowling from 4am through 6am.

The last two days have been hot and humid so I had the A/C on, but
today is perfect so I have the window open and so far Baby hasn't been
at it. Maybe because I drugged her this morning - catnip mouse. She
played with it for quite a while.

I'm going away for a week starting Saturday so I'm hopeful that all
will be ok by then. Of course, her yowling won't bother anyone. I
won't leave the windows open though, I'll just leave the A/C on fan.

That;s the current state of affairs. Moving date is July 8th and
hopefully we all get to go.
