Today was a red-letter day for Flora and Fauna! We opened the door to their popup pen and let them out into the big room. Flora wasn’t too sure she wanted to leave the security of her limited home, but Fauna was out like a shot to explore. She also found it scary, and had to retreat a few times, but she has been wanting this for a long time.
The room used to be filled with kittens – only Nalia and her three, but three kittens can easily fill a room! Not only that, but they were not totally healthy kittens. Nalia and family seem to now be healthy, and they have been moved to a different room. This room has been thoroughly vacuumed and disinfected, so we hope it’s now a safe playground for the adventurous Fauna and her sister – but they do miss the kittens to interact with!
Fauna is having so much fun! She explores, and she gets to have real zoomies! She has scope to really chase a toy on a string, and she is quickly feeling comfortable enough to do it. Flora has come out briefly, explored a bit, and then dashed back. She will sit a the doorway of the popup and watch the toy, or watch Fauna – and soon I’m sure she will be out too.
We’ll be letting them out every evening for playtime, and my hope is that eventually they can be out all the time.
