I am feeling easier, thanks.
How are your girls getting on?

The girls are now getting on great - I'll update the thread with some 'never been seen before' photo's of mutual grooming and sharing a tigga tower platform; even one of the builders that came back this week said he was surprised to see such a change in them. I am so relieved about that. Freyja's still not back to her old self fully yet though - she's waking me up when the sun gets up with the usual licking/tickling ritual, but if she's seen me fussing Wicca she hisses at me when I then try to even up the fussing with her. She only seems to hiss at me when Wicca's been fussed (even though I make a bee-line to fuss Freyja first), which is difficult because Wicca is a proper lap cat and LOVES fuss. I'm hopeful that this will also pass in good time. She's also not yet playing her usual games with us but that might be because it's more fun to play hide and seek with a small black cat than two huge humans - guess we're less of a challenge!

Thanks for asking.

Can you put a bigger dish under the cat grass,obviously tastes better being a little bit dirtier....
We had a cat in for check up tonight that had cystitis,been a lot better on tinned food
getting most of his moisture through that,thought of you & Monty.....

I did... looks quite nice actually, like a tiny pond in the living room with this little tuft of grass in the middle.

You will start a new trend,everyone will want a water feature with a tuft of grass in their sitting room......Hope it keeps working for Monty !

Drinkwell Aqua Garden Pet Grass at PETCO

I tried this as I've got the Platinum model and I couldn't get a single blade to grow. I bought a pre-pack of Cat grass from PetsAtHome and it was fantastic. Freyja didn't nibble any grass from it, but it made her corner of the kitchen look very Zen.

I agree - wondering if I should put one in front of the fire place. We used to have loads of candles but since PK arrived we've not used them, so a nice 'feature' would be great!

Antonia, how's he doing today?
