Happy Friday!
I had the great idea of bringing the laptop down into Gizmo's room, so I could hang out with him while I surf the Net! Good news...he has been coming out more often from under the bed to eat and play with his catnip cookies (when I leave the room, of course)AND I think he may have been playing with his feather toy! So, that's a good sign, right?! I definatly think (hope!) he is eventually going to be OK as a house cat, especially after the snow starts to fall here in New England. I just want to make sure he stays healthy, both physically and mentally!
I do have another cat that used to hang out in the yard with Gizmo before I was able to catch him and bring him to the vet. I want to "re-introduce" them, but becasue he had a "wound of an unknown origin" when I caught him, he is required to be quarantined for 6 months for observation for any sign of rabies, which I am 99.9% sure he does not have! My cat has her vaccinations, of course, but I cannot take any chances. She still has control of MOST of the house. So, I'll have to start all over again once he gets the OK, which is fine. He'll have his playmate again! I think that my cat will definatly be a big help in helping him adjust to the home life!
It is so comforting to know that there are some many kind and knowledgable people out there who can relate to this transition for Gizmo and me and to keep me positive! Thanks for all of your kind words!
