Tucker's Progress
Thought I'd bring ya'll up-to-date on Tucker. Thanks to lots of good advice
and support from Megan I've been steadily making progress with my kitty rehab case, Tucker. He's become a very sweet lovable boy and when I let him out of his cat playpen in the mornings the first thing he does is jump on Celeste's bed and crawl into each one of our laps and apply a very wet pink nose to both of us. He's been spending more time out of his cage in Celeste's room (with the louvre doors closed) and at night, at least once a day, we've been putting the other kitties up in my room and letting Tucker have a grand explore around the house. He's becoming more confident about looking around although he still stresses after a while out and pants. But he's used the litter boxes in the laundry room, drunk out of the pet fountain, and eaten a small snack in the kitchen. But, what is really nice to see is based on Megan's suggestion that Tucker and Robin might become good playmates for each other is that I can now let Robin into Celeste's room and the two kitties will wrestle, play and groom each other. So the past few days, I've let them have playtime together 4-5 times a day and the past 2 nights I've let Robin be out with Tucker when it's time for the grand explore. Tucker is much (!) more confident when he has his pal Robin out with him. The next step is to try and get the other kitties, Omar, Oreo & Midnight to accept Tucker and vice versa, too. When Tucker is in his playpen, I do let the other kitties come and go into the room and I've also gone through bags (!) of kitty treats so that they all have something yummy to enjoy in the same room together. What a long haul to acclimate everyone and we've still got a ways to go -- but I am so encouraged and wanted to pass along the good news! Christine |
