Over a month has gone by since Shadow had her meltdown. We've kept the two cats separate almost entirely since then. We thought we'd let them calm down. But in fact we're stuck. No progress.
Now, with spring here, Shadow is getting restless. She's used to being outside overnight from March through October, chasing things and running around. This year, because we live next to a big road, she's becoming a house cat. She's not happy. As soon as I open the bedroom door in the morning, she goes to the glass door and starts watching. She's getting whiny. She needs more exercise than I can give her with her flying skunk. (Yes, flying skunk - with hot pink fringe.)
She could be more active, more involved, if we could open more doors around here. But we're still in apartheid. So now we're trying again. We've been rubbing them each with a towel, then rubbing the other one with that scent. Phoebe seems OK with it, but Shadow hates that towel! She won't even lie on the one that smells like Phoebe.
We have the plug-in pheromone going - so far, no action.
We've heard that two adult females are the hardest combination to bring together. Hmmm. Hopefully that applies only to cats.
Pray for our cats. Pray for us.
And enjoy the crocuses!
