Well... At first Cheif lived solely in my room with the door closed.
Then he got sick, and he lived in a crate in the living room. Then he
moved to a 4 x 4 cage in the living room, coming out to visit and
exercise a bit. Then he got run of the house a few weeks ago (provided
he doesn't spray anything... I kind of overreacted last tiem he sprayed
and carryied him around the house yelling at him for a few minutes, he
hasn't done it again since then).
The problem is that he's finally feelign good. So, he hides and jumps
out to "play" with Rosie. But, she's scarred and runs, and he thinks
she's playing, and he chases her, and... It's not that their trying to
hurt each other, she's just scarred senseless of him. She used to be a
fighter and was "top" cat, but she's lost quite a few teeth, got hurt in
several falls from the bookcase and kitchen cabinets, and she just can't
defend herself anymore.
It's hard to see her get old and not be as mobile...
