Domestic Violence :-(
Well, turns out our Furries (Alecto, Tisiphone, and Magaera) are having some domestic sisterly squabbles. Alecto and Magaera (one or both) have been picking on Tisiphone. We knew they had spats now & then, you hear them squeak and rush about. Well, yesterday I heard a PROLONGED (3-4 second) shreik and when I investigated, Tisiphone had run around behind the house & was backed into the corner...and had bite marks on her flank. Can't tell if they ar all fresh or this has been happening for a while because they are so fast it is hard to see them.... they wont be still!! So, arranged temporary lodgings and finally managed to scoop Tisiphone up & relocate her until we could decide how to handle the sibling rivalry that evening. Solution we chose was a 3 floor condo, each level having its own house, water bottle & food bowl, as well as shred to play/burrow in. In no way was this a small undertaking. The condo itself is huge, and concessions had to be made for shred on all 3 levels as it is a sturdy WIRE condo, not plastic. Plastic holds in moisture & odor, hard to clean, and edible. So, metal wire it is, which does not hold shred inside... sigh... but it should work. Now to cross fingers that Callie does nto think she can actually LAND on top of it from the floor... roof line is a good 5 feet above the floor, but she is certainly intent on it right now.
