Kitty Relationships

We're a week into our kitty fiasco.  It's still hard.  Stella likes to be close by, but doesn't really interact with Luna a whole lot.  Luna has snuggled up to her a couple of times, and every once in a while she tries to groom her.  Stella doesn't reciprocate,  but at least she's not hissing anymore.  She likes to sleep in the blue chair next to the cage.  Unfortunately, she continues to nip a lot and she's not very friendly right now.

Unfortunately, Luna is still having a lot of anxiety about the cage.  She hangs out in her litter box which is a sign of stress when dealing with new or unfamiliar circumstances. 

Joel and I have been regularly taking her out and having her sit on our laps.  That has helped quite a bit.  She also will rest on the coach for a while particularly if Stella is resting there.  For the first time ever she'll fall asleep in our arms. 

When she's not sitting in her litter she's kicking it out.  The cage is always a mess, so it takes the whole family effort to keep it clean.  Even Little Guy like to clean out her water which is regularly inundated with kitty litter. 

She spent the day at the vet today, so they could check to make sure everything's ok.  The X-Rays show it's starting to heal, so they're going to keep the splint on for another week before they change it.  Luna will spend each Friday at the vet until she is healed, so that they monitor how she's doing.  We really love our vet.  He's been wonderful through all of this, and he's called after hours just to check in to see how she's doing.  On a funny side note, when I picked her up from the vet today, he told me that Luna does NOT like dogs.  The vet has his dog with him in the clinic and every time the dog even looked at Luna she hissed at him.  They had to put up a partition, so that Luna couldn't see the dog anymore.  The vet thought it was hilarious.
