Improvements?
There have been some improvements, I think, on the whole cats-getting-along thing. They’ve been doing something between the doors — I really wish I could justify it as being playing, but I still think Mowie is still a bit too much on edge to be considered playful. However, there’s no longer any hissing between doors, so I suppose maybe things are, in fact, getting better.
Macky, being the curious little guy he is, continually sticks his paws underneath the door trying to play with Mowie. In the past, you’d see Mowie get physically nervous and would often hiss through the door. But as of late, Mowie will follow the paw back and forth underneath the door — occasionally jumping on Mack’s paw or even swiping it with her own. She doesn’t seem too much on edge while this is all occuring, but you can see her tense up from time to time.
Because of these ‘improvements,’ we tried mediating a little group therapy session last night between gates. Unfortunately, it went quite like it usually does. Mac and Sunny up against the gates while Mowie hissing and trying to attack them. I don’t know if I’m being overly optimistic, but the hissing/attacking didn’t seem as bad as it once did.
Maybe this is just one small step in the right direction. Cheers.
