Happy PURRTHDAY, Mandy!

[Freedom]

Today is Mandy's birthday; she is now FOUR years old! And she still dislikes humans, ha haaa.

Since last July, Mandy has been "living" in a spare bedroom. After almost 3 years together, she and Tommy decided they can't co exist. HE had kept her away from the food bowls, water bowls and litter boxes. In the first 6 months she was segregated, she gained TWO whole pounds and is finally up to a "normal" weight! And she regularly uses the litter box, no more "accidents" due to the BULLY.

In January, Chestnut started spending lots of time with her, round the clock for 6 weeks, and now nightly. (If you misse dit, he has lost all muscle tone in his hind quarters, so he can't jump. My vet suspects neurological issues. She advised not to have him do stairs for the litter boxes in the cellar.) Mandy is FINE with Chestnut joining her! I see them both run to, and eat from, the food bowl together when I set it down. So clearly it is not Mandy, it is Tommy who is the brat.

Periodically, Sparkle, Ebony or Bobby will also spend a night w/ the 2 of them.

Here are photos from this morning, of the Birthday Gal!
