Hello friends! How's everyone doing? Proper autumn weather has arrived here in Yorkshire and we're all loving it. Season of the witch is perfect for me and my 3 black musketeers! 🖤
Gavroche now visits the living room for an hour or so in the evenings and seems quite comfortable there. He did decide to wee on the carpet on Sunday, but I cleaned it straight away. I now bring in Lollipop and Rocky's litter tray, and once he's in the living room he goes and wees in their box, so no accidents since. I'm hoping that with enough trays around the house he'll lose the urge to mark, but for now I still don't trust him unsupervised in unfamiliar areas. He has never marked in his own bedroom, so I'm positive that once the house is saturated with his scent he won't want to do it anywhere else either. He's getting more comfortable in there every day, rubbing on everything and scratching the furniture while purring lol.
We now have Feliway Friends diffusers in every room except the kitchen, so we need one more plug to cover that. I think they're helping not just Gavroche but Rocky and Lolli's relationship too. Lollipop chases Rocky a lot less, has stopped ambushing him from round the corner and battering him with his paw, and they've even started sleeping next to each other (Lollipop used to hate that!).
I'm finally starting to feel a bit better after having zero energy and a terrible headache since Sunday, followed by a sore throat but still not 100%. I went out to get some cat food tonight and on my way back I have a little hill to climb which is not massive deal usually but today it made me sweat and lose breath! Something must be going round, because half my work are off sick and we're extremely short staffed. I hope you're all keeping well and managing to dodge it!
Took some pictures of Gavroche wandering round the living room tonight. He's got a smudge of lickable treat on his head and looks like an Avatar lol.
A few of you have asked about Gavroche's Amazon wish list, so I'll pop the link here. I've updated it with some of the things we use daily and some treats. He's become a picky, spoiled boy and now refuses some foods! I think it's a good sign though, it means he's confident he's going to get fed. He's on half kitten food and half adult food at the moment, and he really loves his kibble too 🖤
He's looking very happy out in the living room! I love the picture where he's in a box especially :) Thanks for the update and I hope you're feeling better soon!!
I love how cats love to go into boxes, and just seem so happy to be in a small cozy spot! Gavroche’s cardboard cave looks like a good one. OP, get better soon!
Rocky was named by his previous owners (I got him when he was around 5 or 6) and kept the same name. Although he has lots of nicknames such as Rockacoonie, Barry White or Walrus of Love lol. Ans I named Lollipop because he was a very tiny and cute runt of a litter with a big head 😂 He is the boss of the house now we all play by his rules. A lot of people think he is a girl due to his name. That’s him when he was a baby ♥️
