Separation issues

My Precious is having separation issues with me. Yesterday as I prepred to leave for my sister's house with my laundry, the kitty will not say good-bye. She jumps onto the laundry basket, and then runs out into the hallway. She came back for treats, sniffed them, and ran back out. And I had to get going. Well I tried to threaten her by getiing out the cat carrier she hates from our trip to the vet. If she wanted to come with me she had to get int it.contrary to normal cat behavior (thye travel badly), that bugger jumps into the carrier. So away we go.

My sister's 2 adult cats sniffed the visitor in her carrier. I didn't dare take her out until I felt the other cats accepted her presence. I took her downstairs to the guestroom and let her out. My niece had to follow her around the basement calling her name. She didn't wish to pet her though.

We took a trip outside and Preciosu ran away. I got her back, she is attached to me you know. She played a little with the larger cat who was more curious than trheatened, Precious got a bop in the head by the cat. But the smaller cat hissed and I jumped in to take Precious downstairs again. The larger cat is usually the agressive one. My sister thinks her is more secure about being the dominate cat. I could Precious felt intimidated by her. My sister her a couple times and my niece threw a ball Precious loved to bat around. She was less scared of the older cats by now since I was there to rescue her if they should attack (I read you should never leave strange cats alone with each other, anything can happen when you step away). My niece wanted me to read books to her, but I had to watch the cat. We did play with Play-Doh while the kitty was shut up in the guestroom after a near cat fight.

Finally we said our good-byes and went home. Poor Precious was hungry, thoguh she did some litterbox business at the house once I cleaned out the other cats' poop. Now I leave for my volunteering and Precious wants to play. I may have to give up my volunteering to spend more time with Precious. Post later. Bye!
