Ralph and Saffron are still separated after an aborted attempt to reunite them yesterday morning. We've been feeding them either side of the door so they associate eachother's scent with food, then slowly opening the door a crack so they can see eachother, then giving them treats if they don't hiss or run away. The lunchtime feed today went really well, they softly batted eachother through the door gap but were purring, no signs of stress. They've had feliway diffuser on in both rooms for like 24 hours now so hopefully that's helped! Going to try letting them back in the same room tonight if dinner goes well...
Fuckin nightmare though, just the logistics of keeping them in separate rooms in a tiny house that's basically one downstairs room with a bedroom upstairs. Little shits better be worth the hassle (they are)
Anyway Ralph claimed my work ID card for his new favourite toy, maybe he wants to come to work with me
