We are having the kitchen remodeled. Had a temporary door put in on the hallway and the cats are all safe behind that. They have access to a small hallway, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. Normally, they have access to 7 rooms, 2 bathrooms, plus the cellar, so this is a cut back. In general, they seem to be doing FINE!
However. They are BORED. They can't run and race and use up their energy, they can't knock off lamps, vases and picture frames. So they have developed new interests.
1. The toilet paper is constantly unrolled and left in a shredded heap in the one bathroom. I have NEVER had this issue in 14 years of owning cats. (I know many of you have had the pleasure! :D)
2. I know someone has diarrhea, just thought it was due to a bit of stress; until yesterday afternoon. I found an EMPTY bag of sugar free candy, and all the wrappings. Guess more than one kitty has diarrhea! For those unfamiliar, sugar free foods usually contain maltilol, a sugar alcohol. Which is sweet, and fine in limited amounts. Over eat, and it will give you: gas, cramps, and diarrhea. If 3 candies is the limit for humans (according to the package), and a human is at least 140 pounds (being gracious, here!), then how many is TOO many for a 10 pound cat? :rolleyes: I picked up the remains, and they should have their systems cleaned out and cleared up in a day or so.
Sorry, no photos. :D
