Patches integration. Not going right
I've had the screen door up for over a month now. She used to break the
door down and escape. Now she prefers to stay in that room and retreats to it when she comes out for short visits. Shamrock and Rhett have now decided they don't like her and she doesn't like them. Now that Scarlett has let up a bit. Sometimes I don't even have to secure the door and she stays in there all day and night. I'm thinking I'm going to have to figure out some way to give her more real estate without making her stay downstairs. My upstairs hallway is L shaped with 2 bedrooms on the short part of the L with the long part of the L leading to the rest of the house. I could block off that corner of the hall and give her two rooms both with windows, one with a bed. I hate to go that route but she gets very stressed even seeing Shamrock and Rhett now. She's such a sweetie I had hoped with patience things would work out. I know a month isn't a long time but we seem to be going backwards. -- Cheryl |

Jake still considers her existence an insult. Molly, being a cat, doesn't appreciate his attitude. Once in a great while they will get really bored and play a game of chase, but not often. They share our bed at night, as long as Molly stays where Jake can't easily see her. He still will get upset over her being there and go sleep in the living room. Especially if we don't make enough of a fuss over him, or if we make any fuss at all over her. Its one reason I'm glad they can both go outside, as they don't care for each others company inside. They do, fortunate have each others backs outside if any other cats dare set foot in their territory. The cats in our neighborhood are pretty much divided into those that live north of us and those that live south of us. Jake and Molly own our house and the lot across the street and try to keep anyone from passing. Jo Jo |
