Yesterday (Sunday) I allowed my 2 pee-ing bad boys out in the house with the rest of their siblings. All the foster kittens were away for the day so no added stress (to the cats) from them. I admit that for half of the day I had Sterling in a diaper (trying to pin down Jim as the culprit if something got peed on). But all was OK. Then I took it off for the rest of the day and all seemed OK.
They were out in the house over night (fosters in their separate room resting from their event). All was OK. This morning everything seemed dry and all our normal routines were followed. All OK. Well, now (it is still early) I am typing here, Jim is on my lap (as he always used to be) and there is a wonderful silence (no more singing Jim) and I have not found any pee.
I am keeping the fosters separate because it could be their presence that is causing the stress. So they are having a ball in their old room together. It does not bother them to be in there, they have a lot to keep them busy.
Now not ALL things are well, though
1) Bonnie seems to be fearful of Jim, but they will hopefully work out their differences without the need for peeing on the rug.
and
2) Amber's gums are hurting her again so I will probably be setting the appointment for her gum biopsy as soon as I can call the vet's (9 a.m.)
But this is as normal as I can hope for right now.
Thanks for getting me through the last 2 weeks.
Jim gets his follow up urinalysis today, but I am sure that he is OK medically. The amitriptylin is hopefully starting to have the desired effect on both Jim and Sterling.
