2/20 Curry pmps~112

[Tena and Curry(GA)]

Yesterday:http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37165

So the up side to having Curry isolated in the bedroom is that Sidney is getting more time w/me. Sleeps w/me a night now. She even curled up on my chest yesterday when I was snoozing on the sofa.

So the part of the baby gates are up....Then I did a trial run w/each kitty separately to see if a head would get stuck or something else occurred....Of course both kitties found a place in the gate that they could squeeze thru.....So I used cardboard and duct tape to patch that up. Then Curry saw that she could jump over the gate. So now I will invert the other baby gate over the bottom one to increase the size of the barrier and so that I can walk thru it rather than crawl through the bottom of it. I refuse to crawl every time I have to go into the bedroom....that's just not right. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Then the next step is to have Sid be able to view Curry while Curry is engaged in an activity. So no staring from Curry. That is where the baby gates will come in handy.....I can have the door open while I'm in the bedroom and Sid can choose to view or not to view the activity. She might just want to hear it first and then view at a later point.

Small kitten steps.

Your plan sounds awesome -small kitten steps. Trying to visualize you crawling under the baby gates :lol: Glad Sid is getting some time alone with you.

Good morning! Nice AMPS for Curry.

I can see how you'd have to do some duct tape patches. Kitties are even more slippery than babies, as concerns getting through tight spaces. I hope these kitten steps help to create more peace in your house. I bed Sid is enjoying all the extra time with you!

So I just gave Sid her first dose of Anxitane S which the vet gave me to help reduce her anxiety. Crushed it and put it in sardine juice...water based. It has the ingredient Suntheanine which is a substance found in green tea....but its the pure version. She'll get it twice a day...if she will drink the juice since she won't eat it in a pill pocket. The vet hoped this may help rather than giving Sid a prescription med.....which would stress her out if I had to pill her and sedate her.....so small kitten steps.

She has also trained me to play w/her.....She will go to her cube and meow at me....waiting for me to get the play toy.......Whose trained who :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Off to play guys....have a great day.

small kitty steps - sounds great so far. Amazing how they can squeeze though anything. Go Sid: training the bean to play - well done!

Re: 2/20 Curry amps~112

So Sid is now just hanging out in the living room and seems sooooooooooooooo relaxed in her cube even when I was making all sorts of racket putting up the second baby gate. I wasn't sure how long it would take the medication to take effect after I gave it to her initially......it seems w/in the first hour of ingestion.....then I read that it takes about 40 minutes or so. Of course part of the behavior change is that I'm here in the living room w/her.....but she usually goes to the bedroom in the afternoon to sleep....under the bed.....she started that behavior when I moved into the apartment and had a workmen coming in constantly to fix things. In fact, when she sees me putting on my shoes to go outside she goes to the bedroom. Will have to see over time how she responds. And then the big test is when she sees Curry at a closer distance. That will come later though.

Good luck w/ the baby steps. Trying to figure out cat behavior is a constant challenge, I'm glad Sid is having more mom time. That always helps.

Yeah....not a pretty sight from ANY angle. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like I have a jail in my apartment now as the total height of the two baby gates is about 9ft. Try jumping THAT Miss Curry!!
