Cat update

It has been a while since the last update, but all the news is good. The gate came down maybe 6+ weeks ago. Tyr promptly explored everywhere settling into a few different hiding spots in the living room and dining room. Eir did some exploring as well, but only when I wasn't around. By the time I went to Origins, he was regularly wandering about. During the week I was gone, Kim and Derek took care of them. They got to play with Tyr some, but didn't spot Eir the entire time. After I got home we made a detailed search of the house with no luck. Then later that evening as I was typing stuff up in the dinning room, I spotted her heading upstairs from the family room.

Eventually I tracked down Eir's main hiding spot - behind a laundry basket filled with fabric and sitting in the corner. I didn't realize there was space back there, but she found it with no problem. Currently it is the only place I see her. Once or twice I spotted her running back into the spot, but never hanging around outside of there.

Tyr is interacting with the girls more and more, and getting closer to me, but keeping out of touching range. I figure a few more months and I'll be able to pet him a little :)

This past weekend, I moved the cat cam downstairs and was able to catch Eir and Tyr playing on the cat tree - I was very happy to see that, since it meant Eir was just hiding from me, and not everything else.
