I posted yesterday about how Sadie got his silly head caught in the lattice. The poor kitty must have been so terrified as I had the power drill inches from his (covered) head while I frantically undid the screws.
He is okay, but needless to say he didn't talk to me for the rest of the day.
I went in and sat with him and read today and had the window open a bit while I was in there for some fresh air and wouldn't you know it? He jumped up to the window and started trying to get out again. As I approached to get him back from the window, he held his ground and hissed away at me refusing to leave his perch. I won and he jumped back down to his safety box.
Well, at least he is talking to me now.
The window is closed and locked tight. I then removed the lattice work so at least he can get a decent view out the window onto the duck pond behind my house.
I feel terrible about keeping him captive when he want to go out to this gorgeous spring weather soooo badly.
But whatever attacked him 2 weeks ago, is still out there somewhere (I live in the forest) and if the creature got Sadie that badly when Sadie was healthy I can imagine (no thanks) what that creature could do now that Sade is injured.
Someone please tell me that I am doing the right thing by trying to socialize Sade to the indoors?
