This last two weeks I'd given up on secluding Bonnie from the other
cats while I'm at work.  Mostly this is because I can't catch the lil
hellfire to get her in *her* room and she won't go willingly even
being enticed with food... since the pilling ordeal.  Well that is all
over with and she's peeing normally now and she really doesn't try to
hurt Shadow, she just likes to chase him.  He taught Shamrock what is
acceptable behavior; he'll teach her too.  The other reason for the
seclusion was because she wouldn't eat her meals on a schedule and
preferred to graze.  Well we can't have that because while she
predominately eats dry food, I can't let her leave food in her bowl
uneaten because Shadow will eat it.  This week somehow (we humans can
be trained, you know) I found out that she doesn't like her food room
temp.  I was nuking her canned kitten food (all she'd eat, now I can
change that, I hope!) She doesn't like it cold, either.  She likes her
canned food heated to warm!  It was just a mistake in leaving the food
in the microwave just a little too long but she smelled it and came
for it at "feeding time" and ate most of it.  Tonight, she ate ALL of
it.  Wow!
