What should I do? Boo made the descision for me!

Laura,

For your own peace of mind, how about putting two baby gates stacked in the doorway so that they can see each other and are still protected. Then when Rie Rie and Mike come over to check on them, they can let them out supervised.

Good luck!!

moosmom- I tried one baby gate, then 2 baby gates (she jumped with no problems) and had to go to 3 and caught her climbling those, up almost at the third one when I went to investigate the odd noise... .
Remember, we are talking about an experienced 12 year old c-a-t!

I thought of a screen door but worry about how that would look and mess up my walls..

It would have to be shut her in and Rie let her out when she comes over only to be shut back in when Rie leaves.. OR, let her have free roam. I might try shutting the door with her in there several hours every day until I leave to see if she complains.. I just hate shutting her in there at all and always have..... but the thought her her going back to terrorizing the others scares me..

Laura, you'll have to play it by ear, and if when the time comes YOU really don't feel comfortable leaving her out all the time, then close her in and have Rie Rie let her out when she comes to visit. I really don't think it will be a total set back once you get back home again. She might need to be reminded of the rules when you first get home and she's allowed to roam free again, then you'll move on from there and hopefully progress enough during that month so that next time you have to leave you feel comfortable enough leaving her out.

I'm not surprised she leaves Amy alone. Animals are smart and she knows Amy is not "normal." I wouldn't be surprised if after awhile she becomes a protector of Amy.

Well, since I posted this thread things went downhill fast. She has suddenly started attacking Samanth and Giz every chance she gets so I guess I have my answer from the girl herself. MAN! I hate this!!! She will soon have a long reminder of what it is like to be shut up in that room for 28 days... Maybe by then she will have learned her lesson and behave herself.

oh NO! At least Rie will be there to let her out for a bit...does Boo need trannies or what?

I am so sorry she backslid! Hopefully she will have learned her lesson by the time you get home!

Poor Boo, when will you learn? Maybe being stuck in a room for so long, he will finally learn. I'm sorry he didn't keep getting better, I think we need more PT prayers to help

I am sure she will make that connection one day... but I had hope she already had. I know a 12 year old habit will be hard to break for her but gosh darn, I ENJOYED her being up here to pet and kiss along with the others all day. Maybe the next 28 day isloated will drive it into that thick skull of hers! Poor baby... but now Amy is stressing so bad.. it has to STOP!
