What a massive victory for sweet Gizmo. Fostering a cat who has been uprooted from his family and separated from his dog brother is incredibly tough, and you are doing a beautiful job giving him the space he needs to heal. Walking all the way up to the kitchen to eat confidently is a huge milestone for a traumatized cat. Since he is only with you until the end of May, keep everything predictable to maintain this momentum. You can download the Pet Care: Cat Tracker app to log his daily food intake and track which areas of the house he feels safe exploring each day. Keep the dogs in a separate area during his kitchen visits so he knows this new route remains totally secure. You are a wonderful foster parent for helping him transition back to his family.
That expression on Remy is absolutely priceless, she is clearly the undisputed queen of dramatic side-eye. Calicos and torties are legendary for having massive personalities, and she looks like she is currently scanning your soul for any sign of audacity. When a cat has that level of intense, expressive energy, they often need a lot of mental stimulation to keep their dramatic tendencies from turning into nighttime chaos. To help your sister-in-law stay on top of this big personality, suggest setting up puzzle feeders or hidden treat games around the house to channel that sharp focus into something constructive. She can also download the Pet Care: Cat Tracker app to log Remy’s funny mood swings and monitor her daily activity. Remy is a total icon, never stop taking pictures of her.
