The game continues daily of “Chase Indy into the kitchen cupboard.” All health issues have been ruled out, including anal gland problems. Indy is bright, alert, playful, loving and eating and drinking and using the litter pan normally. Yet, Prowler continues to chase her into the cupboard several times a day.
They do not seem distressed at this game. They are not fighting, growling, spitting or hissing at each other. They are just stalking each other, and then the chase begins. It ends with Indy scrambling up the side of the cupboard under the sink, and over the top onto the shelf.
Perhaps that is all it is, just a game and I am worrying unnecessarily. Though I have to admit, as Indy gets bigger, this game will have to stop because the opening is so small, she won’t fit any longer.
It is abeautiful day here today with the sun out for the first time in days. I managed to clean off the back porch, something that truly needed to be done. The heated cat bed is still going strong and Bailey climbs into it every night to sleep. He is such a funny barn cat, he follows China and I out when I take China back to the creek. We must look a sight to the neighbors; a white german shepherd dog, an orange barn cat and me. China doesn’t bother Bailey, she knows better, and when I am done and ready to head back, Bailey begs for a ride, so up he goes on my shoulder all the way back to the house. I love the harmony here with the animals.
My major change in my life this week will afford me more time to spend with the horses, as well as to begin to train China in earnest. I also started a special diet after seeing a nutritional expert about some problems. Both Mike and I are now on the same diet plan.
