Kind thoughts would be appreciated for the residents of the Cosy Apartment. No one is sick right now (a red-letter day indeed!) and we are well-stocked with food and litter. Something much more concerning is occurring, even as I write. Auric is loose in the apartment, and unsupervised.
It had to happen sooner or later. Every morning, the Golden Boy has been locked in the bedroom with all the necessities. I believed that I was not able to trust him with the others, that he and Hector fought, and that he even bullied his older foster-brother. That is not true, and I see that he and Hec have a good time playing, even if Auric does get carried away now and then.
The youngest resident annoys the two oldsters (Minuet remains safely adjusting to her new life, locked in the library for now) but not greatly - except in one aspect. Auric will stand in front of the litter-box while they are using it. He stands about six inches away. He doesn’t try to keep them in the box or even block their exit. But his position can be intimidating. He doesn’t do this all the time, and there is no effective way of preventing it when I am not present.
It is, I think, something the cats will have to figure out. Auric will likely eventually stop doing it. It happens rarely, too rarely for it to be a reason to keep an active kittenish cat locked in one room away from stimuli all day. And so my request for your kind thoughts.
May they not be needed, after all!
You need the thoughts and you will have them. Not only from me- but from all of us here.
ReplyDeleteAuric doesn't yet understand the idea of privacy. No one needs a
ReplyDeletepotty time audience. Hope you find everyone of the 4 boys still has
a full coat of fur when you get home to them. Minuet may be listening
at the door to the commotion.
Minuet is deaf, which may be an advantage to her today...
DeleteHeHe! I'd let them get on with
ReplyDeleteit John..They'll sort themselves
out..! Bless them! :O).
You certainly have our kind thoughts, and we certainly hope they're not needed in the end!
ReplyDeleteOh boy oh boy. I'll get the popcorn. This should be quite a show.
ReplyDeleteKind purrs to all today but hopefully the gang will sort things out themselves!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that Auric's learning curve is gradual rather than steep!
ReplyDeletedood....ewe bee lookin mor handsum N mor healthee everee time we see ewe !!!! YAY & HOORAY.....
ReplyDeleteN tell da him worreez over much; shredded toy let papperz, over terned potz, toyz littered round de place, waterz bowlz upended, kibble strewn cross de kitshun, sum waste that jumped outta de litter box on itz own, shredded fabric on chairz and sofaz anda lamp ore two on de floor iz all part oh a dayz werk ;) ♥♥☺☺
Nice to know, guys...
DeleteI hope everything is as you expect to find it when you get home. I imagine Auric and Hector will charge around playing, tire themselves out an sleep the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteThis had to happen sometime, John, and it may be that it happened for the best. I think the older cats now have a chance to teach Auric how they want him to behave and Auric now can learn proper kitty manners. Meanwhile, we'll look forward to hearing all about any "renovations" the cats made in the Cosy Apartment. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope all was calm today and I agree with you and the others, they'll likely sort it all out soon.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you have a weekend of no drama and everyone getting along, and a relaxing night movie time.
ReplyDeleteiwll add my thoughts and send them afar into Canada, so that peace will eventiually reing supreme at the Cozy SAprtemnt!
ReplyDeleteBut I think kitties being smart will figure out the 'pecking' order and learn about what is not acceptable and what isn't, among themselves.
I think you will not need to watch TV for a few days, those kitties will keep you well entertained!
He's such a handsome guy! I hope your weekend isn't too disrupting but I'm sure chaos will abound. You might have to lock yourself, with Renn and Neville, in the bedroom until the cosy apt settles down. I wonder what Minuet thinks of all the commotion outside her door?!!
ReplyDeleteBeing deaf, Minuet doesn't worry about sounds. She is more concerned about the cats she sees when her door is open. And she isn't pleased about their presence!
DeleteHe's so adorable, just a major pest! Good luck!!
