Update on the Marlo situation
She seems to be fitting in pretty well after 10 days. She has been out
of the Cat Introduction room full time for the past 3 days. There was some sort of altercation last evening. I heard a major shriek and I found her and Nipsy staring at each other. I sat between them (very brave on my part I might add) and petted them and everyone was ok after that. It was sort of surprising since Nipsy is pretty laid back. Espy no longer rushes to get past her and was sniffing at her without his usual hissing. In fact, I heard no hissing at all last night, nor was I woken up by Epsy just howling like the night before. I have no idea what that was about but for fifteen or twenty minutes he was just letting off steam. It was around 3am so I wasn't too keen on figuring out what was up once I realized that no one was in any danger. The major trouble revolves around food. I'm now feeding them all in the same room (the bathroom), with Espy turned away from Marlo so he doesn't see her while he eats. I feed Marlo a bit away from the two boys. She is very serious about her food supply and does not appreciate the others checking out to see what she has in the bowl. I'm going to have to watch her weight. I always have left out dry food for between meal snacks but she still takes every feeding opportunity as if it might be the last one. All and all, not too bad. I take her into the vet on Monday to get the stiches out. I think the next big hurdle is when I let the boys go out in the backyard as I usually do on weekends. They can't get out, but Marlo is neighborhood trained and I'm concerned that she might be better at it. Of course, if she does get out, she knows how to handle it. Then we'll find out if this was a keeper or a TNR. Now that she knows what indoor living is like, I don't think that she'll want to go far. The backyard for some air and sun will probably do her fine. I'd best go get a collar. |
