I have been trying yet again to bond the four.....Its got to the point where bertie and willow get on fine..where willow and bandit can exercise at the same time in the lounge no probs...
so what ive used its a big travel cot/playpen....i had to include a new litter tray and a bleached out old tray as a back up.
ive been putting them in for half an hour at least twice daily..but today was just once...
i tried the other method of not splitting them up..thought bandit would die..
hes such a nervous but oh so friendly little boy.He likes the cats and was so desperate to get on with the buns..first couple of times bonding previously he kept presenting his head to be washed and tried to cuddle up to the buns like nothing was wrong with doing that!
he goes nuts....he makes a mmmmnp noise and thumps his foot and rushes around like a madman..not knowing where he is going..literally blind panic..
ive tried everything even enforced snuggling...berties washed him etc but as soon as he starts that then bertie goes for him...but its really a chase n nip then stand staring at him in disbelief.
willow and bandit are the 2 submissives and bertie n bif are trying to get to be boss of the other one.
but poor little thing..he wont settle when hes being snuggled..he does then the panic begins and off he goes. Im so upset...i dont know how to calm him down..the blooming fireworks last few weeks have terrified him....hes decided to stay in his cage he wont come out on his own anymore(fireworks did that to him )
i get him out and hes scared but then he wants hugs..he really does he runs up me for a cuddleand goes to sleep under my chin..bless him.
I am terrified hes going to drop dead like this but he wants the buns at the same time...what should i do..im so upset and confsed and soooo worried for bandit.
