After much deliberation, much pressure from my enabling friends and a phone conversation with Dr. Ledbury, I have decided to see if CJ would like to be an indoor cat.
Last night I let him venture out into the house for a few minutes. He did really great.
This morning he again ventured out with even more interesting results. He came into contact with each and every one of my cats this morning. Oddly enough, the girls really liked him. Lucy decided to hang out in the bathroom with him, Alex walked right next to him, Colette pushed him out of his food dish, and he allowed her to do so with gentlemanly grace. The boys were not so enamored, but not one time did he show aggression or concern. He ignored Bosco's "short man syndrome" posturing and indulgently allowed Henderson and Jacob to invade his personal space.
When it came time to leave for work I had to remove Lucy from the bathroom while she protested loudly. However, it is too soon in the integration process to allow them to remain together unsupervised.
All in all, the first two meetings have gone well. I am feeling quite optimistic.

I'm sorry Chan. I'm one of those "friends" but you know that we all worried about our Little CJ man. I'm so glad he is inside with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling optimistic too. I think he is a real gentleman so far.
