Under the bed again


Aslan went back under the bed eight days ago. Mom and Dad had been out of town for a funeral and after they came home he and I had a little spat and he decided to go under the bed. Today he finally came out and snuggled with Mom for a good long time. (He did pop out Sunday for a second when he realized Dad had food but quickly went back under.) The photo is him about to come out to visit Mom. Hopefully this is a quick thing. Last time was five weeks. 

We're not sure what triggers it. Mom and Dad think the outdoor cats who visit the deck get me fired up and get Aslan anxious, which is a bad combo. So now we need to figure out what to do about the outside visits. We like to help care for them, especially with winter coming, but if it continues to cause issues with Aslan and me then hard decisions need to be made. Mom and Dad would love to find home for the two sweet, social ones. There's a more feral boy cat who we think is the real problem. We just aren't sure what's best.

I hope Aslan soon decides to come out again.

We know you'll help every cat as much as possible, both inside and outside.
