I thought I had responded but I must have forgotten to hit the post button. Silly me! Thank you for the kind words! Luckily where I live we didn't get the wild fire smoke too badly (but I did get it when I was traveling out of province unfortunately). Sapphire seems to me more interested in...

Hello again! I wanted to pop in and provide another update. I hadn't realized how long it's been as I've been extremely busy with work and traveling for work and struggling with some mental health issues lately. I suppose everything is still going the same as it always has with some slight...

Hello just checking in again! Still moving along with not a whole lot more progress. After my last post there were a few instances where Sapphire actually came downstairs while Fluffy was somewhere else downstairs and overall it wasn't anything exciting. She hasn't come downstairs fully at...

Hello I just wanted to check in again as it's been quite awhile! I've been traveling weekly or every two weeks in the new year so I've been quite exhausted even when I'm at home. Nothing too much has changed. There hasn't been anymore chases or fights and everything is still the same as...

So sorry once again! I've still been very busy and haven't had much time to respond. I just wanted to clarify that Sapphire was in fact eating her food, she was just waiting until Fluffy left before she would eat it. By the end of the week she seemed mostly back to normal and still seems that...

Hello I'm back again! Earlier this week we had another chase unfortunately. I was out for dinner and my mom had gone over to feed the cats dinner. At some point after dinner while Fluffy was in the catio Sapphire had snuck downstairs and went up onto the cat perch on the front window which was...

I'm so sorry, for some reason I had thought I replied to your message and for the life of me I can't remember what I thought I had replied with. Must be over tired. There hasn't been anymore peeing problems since the vet appointment so all seems well. There also hasn't been much of anything...

It was just random spots outside, for example the corner of the house in one location and another was on front steps leading up to the deck. Two of the three times he had peed just right outside his litter box in almost a trail as if he was walking while doing it. The third time was right...

It was very uncommon when he did do it. Only three times over a period of a few weeks. My guess is the feral as the weather was still nice enough to take him outside but he started seeming stressed in very specific locations and it had all happened around the same time. I had also stopped giving...

No need to apologize what so ever. I understand completely. I myself have been out of province for 7 of the last 10 days so everything is hectic. Truthfully, nothing overly exciting ever happens anymore with them and I just like to post every now and then to show that I'm still around and...

She has been on and off since that incident. They will still eat together and she comes to the stairs at times but not often and getting her to come further down for a treat is like pulling teeth. It's tough to say whether she is scared or just can't be bothered. She has been acting slightly...

Unfortunately they ended up having a little dust up yesterday. When my mom came over to look after Fluffy in the afternoon, she couldn't find Sapphire and assumed she was sleeping under the bed. Fluffy was let out of my room and my mom started doing some things upstairs. As it turns out...

I've been trying to leave the gate down when possible, or at the very least, I will take it down if I see Sapphire sitting on the stairs at the top to see if she wants to come down but I haven't had any luck yet. She will stare down for a few minutes before running back to her room. I'm trying...

Here's another quick video I took last night. It's worth noting Sapphire came back a few minutes later however she stayed at the top of the stairs. She doesn't really seem phased too much. Sapphire and Fluffy Oct 13/22

I apologize again for the long break. I'm now traveling for work every second week until the end of the year and everything has just been steady as she goes at home with the cats. With the weather getting colder and days shorter, Sapphire has mostly just been staying upstairs and sleeping...

I meant to say videos rather than ideas. And I did take a video last night that I think is fine overall.

They do this pretty much every day and Sapphire almost always comes back to the stairs. I do have to coax her to come down a bit but it can't be too much of an issue if she keeps coming back. I know it's not ideal, but my thought process is that maybe this is how they will work things out for...

Here's a quick video of their pawing I managed to take yesterday. Throughout the day they did this about four times but Sapphire kept coming back after a few minutes each time.

I thought I had made a new post but I guess it didn't go through. A small update from last weekend. While leaving the gate down one evening, Sapphire came downstairs while Fluffy was in the catio. She was quite cautious but followed me towards the kitchen and backdoor where the catio was. She...

I will/have already started to reduce treats for them. I'll still usually give one or two and break them in half. A small treat is the only way Sapphire will usually come down from the top of the stairs if Fluffy is in the room so I want her to see that coming down a bit is positive. No new...
