HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, a strange thing indeed happened today. The kitty cats reportedly got to spend about 7 hours together without killing each other. The spray bottle I bought changed everything. They get a little too rough, they get sprayed and separate immediately. Easiest way to keep them in line while letting them spend time getting used to each other. Turns out they LOVE each other. They even bathed each other and slept together, which is what they're doing now.
This makes me so happy. I was concerned we'd never be able to let them hang out together and that Cleo would destroy all the carpet underneath the bedroom door. Now, they can be out together [as long as we're here] with limited supervision. I don't want to completely leave them alone together yet but I think we're closer to that goal. Curling up on the sofa to sleep together without being put there is certainly an encouraging start.

the worst halloween prank ever
well, I was sure fooled. these cats are never gonna be able to be left alone together. after a lengthy staredown between cat and kitten, a weird vibe developed between the two of them. then, Cleo went nuts. she started making these awful noises and going after Sabbath. they got behind the stereo and I went after them to break it up. he began to scream with fear but I got her before she could get to him. she clawed the shit out of me and I fumbled her. I finally got good hold of her and then she got me, right in the face. I screamed. Brad rescued Sabbath and put him in the bedroom while I tried to detach Cleo from my face. The profuse bleeding is under control now and I have finally stopped shaking. Brad called a vet who told us we have to start over. tell that to the bedroom carpet.
dare I ask, What now?

Ouch!! Well, all I can say is...sometimes shit happens. I don't mean that in a rude way but in a very truthful way. Sometimes cats will get a hair up their butt and shit hits the fan. Maybe their were unspoken words between them. Something we can't hear but it must have been something aweful.
I have a story for you. I think it will give you a better understanding and I hope it helps.
When Tabby was still alive but was very old, Tigger one day tried to play with him. Tabby did the normal hiss and growl to let him know he didn't wanna play. Meanwhile Tobie was walking by and heard all this. She came to Tabby's rescue and went off on Tigger. She had never done this before. She was always so quiet and kept to herself. She attacked Tigger that day. Since that day she had become the Queen Bitch. If mom raised her voice, Tobie would go after Tigger. Or if Tigger was stepped on and screamed, Tobie again, would go after him. He would run screaming like a girl, to get away from her. (She has even ran in on Cherokee and acted as if she could eat him alive.) She loved Tigger. She was heart broken when he passed away. As she was with Tabby.
Females are different than males. As you have already learned. I have a house full of cats. Duh. I can go down the list and tell you who is a bitch, a prick and who is loveable and weird. Princess is always getting attacked by her sisters and brothers. I have watched it. How it gets started is amazing. Unspoken words and they must be bad ones. They chase her in the house. Screaming and growling. Of course I too, stop it. But it is easier for me. Not so much the stopping part but I can put them outside or just one of them outside.
Now what is funny is when they are outside they are fine. I have never seen them beat up on Princess when they are out.
The other day Ertai went off on Gypsy. Or so that is what it looked like to me when I came in the room. Tom and I were in the bedroom and we heard screaming coming from the living room. So I am still not sure why it was started and who actually started the fight. But it was unusual for them to be fighting in the first place.
Basically what I am saying is...Cats are funny. This isn't something that you are use to, I know. They may always argue and fights may break out now and again. Be patient with them and understand that it is what cats do sometimes. Not all of them of course. But some. Related or not.
I am sorry about what happend to your face too. I hope it is ok now and it heals good.
I am wishing you and you babies the best and that things get better for you all.
I love you!!
thanks. we still have hope. we're gonna keep trying. the bad cut was deep but not long so there should be minimal scarring on my face. my hands are a different story. she tore me up bad. at least the major drama is over... for now anyway. we'll keep our fingers and paws crossed. *hugs*
