….is improving!
I did not take many photos today as I was very occupied making sure everyone ate and after that, it is all about cleaning up after them.
I missed the shot where Samantha, Kai and Cow Mau were eating together. Well, at least Samantha is eating now. That’s an achievement. She is still not eating as much as she used to upstairs in the room, but it’s good progress.
I noticed that ever since the Blondies came to Bunny’s Place, Cow Mau and Indy have launched an offensive campaign against the Monsters. It appears to me that Cow Mau and Indy see a need to protect the Blondies from the rowdies, perhaps? But actually, the Monsters aren’t vicious. They are just a bit rowdy and might bully in a playful way which can get annoying.
Talking about being dangerous, it’s Indy and Cow Mau whom I would classify as “dangerous” in their hey day. When they attacked, a vet’s visit (with possible surgery) was bound to happen. But that’s in their hey day. Not anymore now. I hope.
The Monsters are merely a shadow of what our Super Seniors used to be. And thank goodness for that, right?
Kai, Indra and Samantha ate today, but Akira was too busy whizzing around playing. “I’ve no time for food!!”, she says. So I had to catch her and force her to eat. She did.
I had to do the same for Riley too. Riley is rather anorexic when it comes to eating. She has too many rules, some of which seem to be:
- I cannot eat when on babysitting duties.
- I prefer to eat upstairs when I feel like eating.
- I don’t particularly like certain kinds of food, so can you serve me what I like?
Well, (1) Okay, fair enough, you need to do your duty. (2) No, no more eating upstairs anymore. Can you please learn to eat downstairs? “When you feel like eating”? When might that be? I cannot leave the raw food out for too long. Coco&Joe’s, according to the founder, can be left out in room temperature for 4 hours after which it MUST be discarded. I wouldn’t leave Cubgrub out for more than 10 minutes. Whatever it is, food starts to decompose the moment it is left out in the open in room temperature. So I wouldn’t leave even Coco&Joe’s out for more than 30 minutes. That’s just my preference. So, Riley, can you please learn to eat when food is served? (3) I think Riley prefers Cubgrub to Coco&Joe’s. She also likes cut up meat and liver (but this isn’t balanced, so it would only serve as a treat).
On the other hand, the easiest group to feed is the Monsters. Ginger used to be very choosy too, but ever since living with the Monsters, Ginger has adopted their eating style too, which is great.
Now, back the Blondies.
Gerald didn’t kacau too much today. So there was less of a havoc this morning. All the craziness is actually caused by Gerald. Can you see him up there on the ledge? Look closely, please.
Right now, Samantha and the Blondies are in the living area of the house. Everybody’s out here playing.
As for litter box training…Well, the last two days have been VERY GOOD, actually. Yesterday, there was no pee or poo in the room at all! But my joy was short lived. This morning, Akira pee-ed and poo-ed on the cloth in the box and Indra pee-ed and poo-ed outside the litter box. So yes, more work is needed in this area.
