That's sounds like a slightly bigger than "small victory". Maybe keep feeding them treats like that whenever (if ever) they're in the same room/area at the same time.She did come down to eat the other night and she was on the counter while I stayed on the kitchen floor with Momo feeding him chicken to distract him and keep him from jumping up there. Amazingly, she noticed him, hissed once, and went back to eating. Small victory!
Not sure. Watch to ensure she will actually use it. You certainly don't need litter avoidance issues.I think this will also help Olive because "his" litter box will be in my office and she'll be forced to use it instead of "hers" in the basement. Is that a bad idea?
Again, not sure. Hopefully the members with more cat experience, especially with introductions, will reply with advice.She still seems to prefer being in our bedroom most of the day, so anything I can do to encourage her to be out and about more in the rest of the house would be progress.
