You know, I was just thinking about the shivering and think it might be a bit of excitement and just partly nervousness. Happy to see me and wondering where the heck I go off too. When I get home, nothing seems out of place, no one is acting scared or upset about anything, and everyone is getting along very well, so I couldn't figure out what it is. WAIT!!!!!! Yogi and Hokey have been coming up to that side window lately and looking in. They get on top of the shelter and look in the window and this started a few days ago. I wonder if that is causing her a bit of stress?? Seeing her brother's, because I have noticed she goes to that window and looks out more often lately....... And I just thought of this now! But, why would that make her shiver upon my return home?? She nevers shivers when I am home and I pick her up or pet her. And when she goes to look out the window, she is quietly looking and not upset in the least.

How lovely Magilla is! And everyone looks so cozy together. It's such a wonderful story, and with a happy ending!


I have no idea about the shivering. Peculiar.

I haven't left a worn night shirt for her lately because she is not really in her room any more other than to eat and use the box in there But I could put one under the recliner where she likes to go when I leave. Great idea! I didn't even think of doing that again but it makes so much sense to keep that up for awhile longer as she has just recently been allowed full run of the house at night too. Great, stinky me clothes in the family room

It's certainly worth a try.

As to the other.... I doubt she realizes they're her siblings. I just thank the universe every day that our cats don't mind other cats being outside.

I agree, I don't think she cares one bit about the cats outside!!! She is too darn happy inside with us. So, today I left the shirt I slept in last night under the recliner. Was gone for about five hours and when I returned Magilla didn't even come out to greet me. She was under the recliner. So I let her be and went into the bathroom. After a few minutes, she was sitting in the doorway looking at me. I went to cuddle her, and she purred and purred and NO Shivering. I really think leaving the night shirt out for her helped!!!!!!!!! So, that was a great suggestion
