Yesterday, based on the behavior of the resident kitties, we moved Aspen and Laurel into the mudroom in the house. This is a room that is currently unfinished, there is no final flooring down, just subfloors. Originally it was a cat room with access to the outside to a cat door. We have taken the cat door and rolled it up. We screwed it down into place and put over the opening pet proof screen. This will allow air to come into the room. There is a sliding glass door and screen. Currently the screen is just regular, so it has to be rescreened with pet proof screen.

We put the old intercom system that used to exist between the shop in the house into the mudroom. Added one unit to the kitchen so that we could interfere. Should we hear any battle cries coming from these two kitties who have been through so much in such a little time.

The room will still function to hold tools, as well as a mudroom to deposit coats and shoes in, but now there’s two little feline security guards running around, making sure that their new world is safe and secure. The plan is to keep them in the room until they can gain enough weight to be able to hold their own against the other kitties. Then they will be moved into the introduction cage, which will have been extended by that time. This seems to be an easier solution than what we were looking at before. We have to make do with what we have on hand, and so this decision  came with a lot of prayer and thought.

I hope you enjoy the photos of the two girls in their new dwelling place.
