An Uneasy Truce in Kitty-land

Well, as long as they stay apart they seem to get along.

This morning Arnold was so scared that he hid behind the washing machine even when I made breakfast. It took me about 30 minutes but I was able to coax him out and he ate breakfast on top of the washing machine. He ate almost all of it --- I don't think he's getting the full 1/2 tsp of Benefiber. But then, there hasn't been any butt leakage so maybe it's all ok.

I gave him his pill today without the pill pocket. Maybe the pill pocket was causing the intestinal distress? At any rate, he did NOT care for the plain pill but was able to get it down. Most of it, anyway.

Currently Audrey is upstairs somewhere and Arnold is happily purring on the couch with me in the fliving room. He brought his bracelet over a while ago and we've just been keeping each other company.

Earlier this morning Audrey "let" him park under my sink while she perched on the couch and looked out my bedroom window. She gets really close to him, as if she recognizes him, sniffs him, then hisses. It's so sad!

The guy came to fix the hall bathroom so she disappeared under the chair in my room and Arnold dashed downstairs and hid behind the washing machine.

His eye seems to be just a little bit better. I'll wait until tomorrow to call the doctor about it.

So, we will stay hopeful.
