The good news is that the two girls can be on the same bed and they don’t tear each other up now. But there has to be a human in the mix, nearby ready to intervene in case things get raspy. Lots of growling and tensing up and swearing and staring- but no more locked in battle going for the throat.
I decided late yesterday to take the catio we built for Mason and place it on the bed. I moved all of Trick’s belongings into it and then put her inside. I was worried about her because her ears are so darn cold, even though she is on a pet heating bed and it isn’t that cold at the moment. It did the trick, her ears were warm this morning and although I had to spend the night in the recliner, it was well worth it.
They will travel tomorrow to their new home. It is going to be a long trip (8 hours roundtrip) My car is now set up for Trick to be in the back seat (with litterpans on the floor). All access to the front seats is now blocked and Treat will travel in front out of the carrier on the lap of my friend Haley. Bless her heart for volunteering for this job! I am going to head to Washington early, early and go the back country roads to see how this travel is going to pan out. I am not a believer in having loose kitties in your car, but under the circumstances, I believe this is the only way to go. If it doesn’t work then both kitties go into the carrier and are miserable for the journey. 🙁 I have my wonderful Harp Of Hope CD that is almost worn out, I have played it so much to soothe worried and stressed kitties during travel. The music is nothing short of miraculous how it stops kitties from stressing out.
Please pray the journey goes well for all of us. These poor girls have been through so much and they deserve their chance at a wonderful life together.
Good luck on your journey. This will be the hard part, and then the girls will have a caring, permanent home.
Hoping you have a safe journey and that the girls have found their permanent home.
