Zoe Update 05.24.04 / 11:18PM / Joe
The Kitten Quarantine continues. Zoe has been revealed to have both ear mites and conjunctivitis. Fleas look like a near miss; we've looked and the vets have looked and not located any. Feces Test #1 indicates she is parasite-free, but a second test is required.
Last Friday, we upgraded her quarters from the cat carrier to the entire room. Her world currently consists of the spare bed, a litter pan (inside the carrier), a cardboard box lined with newspaper for romping, and a mess of board games under the bed. Included: Lord of the Rings Risk, Constructionary, Ubi, Junior Couch Potato Game, and the Star Wars Battle on the Sarlaac Pit game.
Annie remains skeptical, but she has not hissed or growled in over a week, which we're taking as a good sign. There's still been no direct contact, only cold stares across the room.

And although Annie can't get her meaty paws under the door, young Zoe can... so we had to block the opening with some of the most repellent items known to man (and feline): two boxes of OverPower cards. |
