Stripey is on the mend

Stripey made his way down from Shelley’s room today and decided to stay downstairs to enjoy a bit of the sun coming into the dining room. Our other cat, Vivvy, who had been sniffing and hissing ever since Stripey got sick sniffed but did not hiss. She had also been avoiding him, but for the first time in many weeks we observed the two of them sitting within two feet of one another.

Either Vivvy is getting used to Stripey’s scents, or Stripey’s distress-related pheromones are diminishing. Whatever it may be, Stripey is looking much more like his old self again. He’s also behaving more like his old self – trying to find plastic and plants to chew.
