Another good social night for the girls,
Followed by...
Had a pretty good supervised visit from Mr. Buff early this afternoon. I was doing the janitor work when Anita came in to visit, too.
She had not seen Buff, and he snuck in. Phoenix stared, hissed then went under the bed.
However, not into her safe spot at the head, but just behind the foot board, with her tail still showing out from under the side.
Buff crouched down to look under, their faces were only about 6 inches apart.
"Hiss, grrr, hiss, grrr, hiss, hiss..." but not in high volume.
After a couple minutes, where she did not back down and he did not advance, Anita picked him up and put him back in the hall.
I had a nap in there late this afternoon. Missy was social, spent several minutes almost cuddling, but enjoying the pets and scritches.
Later, after I got up and was going to replace the screen over the opening, a not so smooth visit from Cooper.
I let him in for what I thought might be the usual supervised visit; Phoenix going under the bed and him crouching there mewing at her with his tiny voice. She stared, hissed and went under the bed.
However, Big Boy went under and chased her out the other side. Had her cornered near the food bowls between the nightstand and the front wall of the room. It was noisy, and she was prepared to defend herself, did take a few swipes at him.
Saying his name in a moderately loud voice several times got him to break off and leave the room.
No fur flew. Instead of putting the screen back in place, closed and locked the door.
1 step forward, 1 step back.
