Shadow is doing so well staying in our room by herself; our room is rather large (about the size of our living room). She's actually covering up after using the litter box which she has NEVER done before. She now has her own uncovered litter box which is in the large dog crate because I don't want her having an accident on the carpet. She's got two cat trees and two beds, plus my bed and she's usually only in the room by herself during the day 8:30 AM-5/6 PM.
Is it so horrible to keep her in the room during the day and at night by herself? She's let out with the others from 6 PM-10 PM when I go to sleep. She seems happy but she did scratch a couple of times this morning to try to get out. I could keep Callie in the room with her every other day as Callie gets along fine with her and Shadow wouldn't have to be by herself.
Callie and Whisper don't seem to mind being out in the living room by themselves at night. Callie only cries to be let in when the alarm clock goes off because she knows it's time to drink from the faucet and get fed. I do miss having Callie sleep in our room so maybe I'll start bringing her in there every so often.
Do you think this temporary fix will work out until we move in August? I would like to get a three bedroom place so that there will be more room and the cats won't feel so confined in the little house. Any suggestions you might have would be great. Thanks!
