CAT NEWS BULLETINIn October, as our little dog Ivy came into our house for the first time she woofed once at our cat, Charley, who then disappeared. For a long time we didn't know where he was. It turned out, he was here in a kind of priest's hole up under the ceiling behind the furnace. For three months he would only come down as far as the top of the hot water heater, eat there, then go back up again. He never stopped eating, thank goodness, but for a few dark weeks he stopped coming down to the catbox. I think he found a place up there where he felt safer, up amidst the ductworks, and the whole house began to smell like catbox. But halleluia! Charley has begun coming out into the adjacent unfinished room-- what we call "the pantry", to distinguish it from "the furnace room" -- really, they're both "the basement" only they're on the same level as the rest of our (finished) downstairs. We feed him on the freezer now. He's still two rooms and a baby gate away from the dog, and he's begun to feel a little more secure. So when he's finished eating, he'll often cross the floor and jump up to to the shoulder-high padded windowseat we made for him months ago. Sometimes he just hangs out there. Lately he's been feeling mellow enough to get social, and let me help wash his face. |
