Been a while since I posted, but I'm back with some photos and a cat update (More PROGRESS!). I figured photos belong in the photos area, so I put them
there if you're interested. I think I followed all the rules for posting pics anyway?
Scarlett (the kitty) has come a LONG way. There's some specific standards and practices the little evil feline has incorporated into the bedtime routine, but suffice it to say Carlos and Scarlett both sleep in the bed with us at the same time.
Routine - Standards and practices (authored by Scarlett)
1 - All cat food is to be placed on top of the kitty tower by the bed at precisely 9PM. Deviations from this routine will incur punishment in the form of an all night kitty scream.
2 - The bowl in which my food is placed should weigh at least 3 pounds with a frictional bottom. Deviation from this standard will result in food scattered across the bedroom carpet and an immediate protein and calorie overdose administered to Carlos. Oh, and all night kitty scream.
3 - Carlos is required to be under a blanket with eyes closed and asleep by 9:15PM. Deviation from this standard will result in kitty screams until such time Carlos complies.
4 - I will eat my food in the following manner.
Step 1 - Climb halfway up the tower, pause to hiss at Carlos.
Step 2 - Ascend to the top and eat half my food with as much satisfied ecstasy on my face as can be dramatically portray to induce Dog envy.
Step 3 - Descend to the halfway point of the tower, pause to hiss at Carlos.
Step 4 - Prance slowly across the bedroom floor with a dramatic sway in the tail.
Step 5 - Repeat steps 1 - 3
Step 6 - Wait for dog to seem asleep.
Step 7 - Curl up in bed.
Step 8 - Occasionally walk over the sleeping dog, if dog awakens act as if the dog tried to eat me and complain. If it does not, curl back up and try again later.
RFLOL - They now exist all over the house together as long as a 3-4 foot distance is maintained. The dog just wonders why we need to put up with such sass, but keeps that 3-4 foot wide birth of Queen Scarlett anyway.
