Aggressive Behavior
Both Sinatra and Guinevere show aggression towards the other cats. We ended up putting the door back at the bottom of the stairs, until the two cats adjust to their new place. Then we worry about introducing them to the group.
Interesting though, Prowler got into Sinatra’s room yesterday without being noticed. The first thing she did was show submission to his alpha tendencies. There was no major cat fight after that, just an intense staredown.
I scooped her up and got her out of harm’s way quickly. I was surprised the cat fur didn’t fly, but then Prowler has this charming way about her.
I am seeing an accupuncturist now to try and manage the pain in my shoulder. The first session was intense (to say the least) and she put these patches on me afterwards. Needles to go, I guess you could call them. They look like small bandaids and there are small needles in the center of each of them. She also put a gold needle in my ear and told me to leave it be unless it gave me trouble. I go back on Friday. This treatment upcoming is one she said she is going to “amp up” so that I am not in so much pain. I can’t wait (sarcastically speaking). The last session was intense enough, I can’t imagine upping the level.
Passed Jeremy’s anniversary with no phone call from the ex. Thankfully, perhaps now Don has learned to accept the grief he denied 31 years ago when our son died. Happy Birthday Jeremy, I think of you often and wonder how my life would be different had you survived.
