The day of the big move is almost upon us. I am looking forward to having it finished. However, in the meantime, some good things are happening.
Indigo is clearly feeling better. I think she is still suffering from stress to a degree. Not only is everything being pulled up, packed away and set aside, there is almost constant noise during the day of renovations from other apartments. Nonetheless, Indie has improved. She is urinating in normal quantities, and is drinking more. She also consented to crawl onto my lap yesterday for half an hour of purring and petting.
My newest foster-cat, Moxy, also is taking steps in the right direction. His yowling at the windows is diminishing, so I gave him the freedom of the house last night. He decided to jump up on the bed, and spend the dark hours there, which I thought a very good idea. Imogen did not agree, and was growling warily for a while. But Mox still has evinced no aggression toward the other beasts, even when provoked by Indigo’s grumpiness, or tested by Brazil’s surveillance. His former guardian’s claim that Moxy wet where he shouldn’t and slapped around his other cats may have been as mistaken as Minuet’s alleged diabetes.
So the Cosy Apartment seems to be ending this chapter of our story with positive feelings. I think this will continue during its transformation into the Cosy Cabin.
Good news that Indigo is improving, and that Moxy is settling down. Hopefully after the move life will return to normal, or as near normal as it ever is.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is your good humor and kind spirit that gives these weary travelers a soft place to land and blossom. I'm glad you'll have a Cozy Cabin ... in the valley of the Catsbourne River?
ReplyDeleteI believe you and all the cats will be glad when you're in the new home. The boxes will be emptied and there will be plenty for them to climb into for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a busy few days; sending purrs that everything goes pretty much as planned.
ReplyDeleteGood news all round! Best of luck with the move, I hope it goes quickly and without any hitches. 🤞
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent news about Moxy and Indigo! Well, you too- in that the move is almost accomplished. I sure don't envy you all that activity and work too!
ReplyDeleteSuch great news and I hope calm, happy and healthy continues.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting (and, of course, highly welcome,) about Moxy behaving so much better in his new digs. It sounds like he and his old owner just didn't mix! It's good to hear that Indigo is doing well, too. And if they've already started renovating the building, no wonder you can't wait to move!
ReplyDeleteThat is good news about Moxy and Indie, the big move is really close now, hope it all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like things are going well - Indie is feeling better and Moxy is disproving his previous owner's claim. Good luck with your move to the Cosy Cabin! I hope all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI've got much to catch up on, as three sleeps have passed since this post. I do hope all of the perma and foster cats settle in to their new home readily. I'm sure you'll all appreciate not living in a communal building.
