Hobo has been walking around the house this morning with a toy in her mouth looking for someone to play with. This is unusual for her as she is just learning how to share the toys and knowing what they are for. There is one thing I am sure of concerning Mama, she must have been the apple of the old man's eye while Hobo must have been a visitor in the home. Hobo acts as if she has had very little human contact, that is someone actually patting her and grooming her. When she thinks you are going to hold her or embrace her, she will shy away. She is getting better and more receptive of our contact with her and actually initiates contact at times now.
Hobo just walked over and nudged my arm letting me know she is looking for some attention. Mama is making her way over just to make sure she is going to get her due as well. Hobo is now looking at Susie with a toy in her mouth, ears raised, tail wagging with that look in her eyes of "come on, let's get it on." Things are quieter with Claire gone and in the bedroom there is less movement when the lights go out. I havenโt checked on Claire since Saturday morning so I hope all is well. I will check this morning sometime just to make sure everyone is happy.
The cats have all come back together and it looks as if the two dogs are gone. There are so many loving cats that want to be held and loved on. Now that they are use to Sue and I they have let their guard down and just climb all over you when you sit in what must have been Cyโs favorite chair outside. Sue and I saw evidence that some of the cats must still be trying to use the litter box in the house as they have mess all over their back ends. That must be a terrible mess inside, but we are not going inside and really canโt since the door has been locked by the Sheriffโs Department. The cats continue to use the cat door cut into the trailer door as a way to come and go. They must be sleeping in the trailer at night where it is safer, rather than taking a risk on being exposed to predators and other animals by being outside.
We still have no solution for the cats, so Sue and I go every day to feed and water them and if necessary transport them to the vet for treatment. It is hard to return them to the colony once you have removed them for vet care, it as if you have given up on finding them a forever home. But we will keep on trying as long as we have the ability to do so.
