I'm up, I'm up - alarm didn't go off (iPad going into trash). So I was awakened by the helper at nine-thirty and have been on the run since. All boxes are now in the garage of the new house and we're boxing up the last of the CDs. I'll go to the new house after rehearsal to shelve books because we need more empty boxes.

It was poop. It's now cleaned up.

Val came up, tried to lure Thatch out with treats, and discovered the poop. Thatch ate the treats and only would come halfway out. He clearly will not come out for his litter box. Annabelle adds to the problem because she is friendly and he fights back. As long as she keeps approaching him and frightening him, he will not come out. Locking her in the bathroom is only so good.

I also worry about whatever crap may be under those bookcases to injure him.

The bathroom was worth a try to give Thatch a break. Did he come out at all when Annabelle was in the bathroom or when you were out looking for her?

Is it possible to talk to his foster parent's, find out if it took him awhile to adjust there and if they know anything particular he likes. I am wondering if he didn't play with the other cats. He is so young, he should be playing. Often it just takes time for them to adjust.

No, he's not coming out and if he did, I was asleep. At his foster home he was with his sister and anther cat. I think he needs to adjust.

Wishing Thatch a very short adjustment period.

TCB · « **Reply #66 on:** November 09, 2017, 12:10:16 PM »

Good morning / afternoon!

I am so sorry to read about Thatch's adjustment issues.

My first cat, J.C. (Julius Caesar) spent his first three days with me living under the cupboards in a crawl space between the stove and the sink.

Meetings. Nothing more than meetings. Trying to forget my meetings all day.

Surprisingly, I thought Annabelle would be a problem of another sort: I thought she'd not want him in her space. Since it's the opposite, I worry that she will continue to scare him into places where we can't find him; the longer he's in hiding, the more I will worry about his safety and health.

I hope I can lure him out with food.

It is the most common scenario. I am wondering now if he was especially attached to his sister. I too am concerned. Hold on to the thought that some cats take longer than others to adjust.

HHW is sweet sixteen

vixmom · « **Reply #74 on:** November 09, 2017, 04:52:52 PM »

Thank you Bruce for inviting us all into your livingroom. I have made friends here I would never have met otherwise, I have learned things I would have never known.

vixmom · « **Reply #75 on:** November 09, 2017, 04:53:37 PM »

And I will never forget the kindness and support during periods of personal crises

HHW has been a wonderful respite from all the craziness that is the Interwebs! Thanks, BK, for making it all possible (even though how it became possible was a bad thing). It's been a great pleasure having on-line friends that became in-person friends...even if we don't see each other in person very often.

Feel-better vibes to Jane.

We've now scheduled all of my dental procedures. Something opened up in a few weeks, so about half the work will be done this year and half next year. The calendar at the dental office doesn't really open up much until February and neither the dentist nor I wanted to wait that long.

Jeanne · « **Reply #87 on:** November 09, 2017, 05:29:06 PM »

No mention had been made of a gum graft, so I specifically asked about that today. No need in my case, I was told. Laura, that's the procedure you had, wasn't it?

Jeanne · « **Reply #88 on:** November 09, 2017, 05:31:17 PM »

I've had another busy day and have hardly stopped. Where does all this stuff come from?

Jeanne · « **Reply #89 on:** November 09, 2017, 05:31:47 PM »

Happy Birthday to HHW. Well done, Bruce!
