For anyone still reading...or wondering...I am STILL dealing with kitty stuff... poor old Travis whom we got Nick for, for company, does not really care or like him, so ignores him and indeed "zones out" a lot and his age (sniffle) shows so VERY much more all the time... and Nick the little genius wild man still has diarrhea from the food he eats after both cats got over their colds and antibiotics, and trying other foods has produced terrible results (vomiting it up)... tested his "poo" for any parasites... (making the vet rich at this point)....negative on all fronts... so offered him some expensive special food for finicky cats that helps digestion etc... he tasted 2-3 pieces and proceeded to "cover it up" in disdain...and so now it's up to Mom to hold out and not give him is 'old' food back and see if he will give in and even eat enough of the new food to "try it"....but what happens with smart kitties? They wait to try and outsmart you... and now he has a lump on his upper leg....so one more trip to the vet for this... and bottom line, since Travis will not react to Nick, Nick cries for ME to be his playmate...and I am SO NOT getting another kitten FOR HIM... aaaaggghhhh!! So I continue to use the computer sporadically between litter box cleanings, feedings (Travis has to be watched and encouraged to eat his canned food for his sensitive tummy these days and a pill given each night for it)....and flick the "whip" (toy) for Nick when he will not let Travis drink water (no I do not whip Nick, it's a toy he dearly loves to chase)....and I am very tired from my health issues... I love new Nick but I so long for the time when I had even a little time with Poser, Vue etc.... and no, the cats cannot live in different rooms or parts of the house the way things are.... Well this Crazy Cat time has got to have an end, right? When we find a food that both Nick and his tummy likes...and when he will settle down a bit... (ya right, he is very young and still trying to do tightrope walks across the drapery rods).... oh boy! I do have some "personal time" when they nap...but Nick does not nap much... he has the energy of .... of... the sun?! (and his ear mites refuse to clear up, but we keep after them with medication from the "rich" vet)..... Can you tell I am going a bit nutty right now? Well time goes by...so trying to take it one day at a time and keep at all the situations and wait for things to resolve. Lyne
