Hey Attention Please
So I have three cats: Ishmael, Avery, and Jyn.
Jyn has had a history of being accident prone, and as such she’s had way more trips to the vet than Avery...
The problem is, whenever that happens, Jyn has to be away from the other cats to keep them from reopening her wounds. And when she’s finally healed... well...
Avery no longer sees Jyn as her sister. Ishmael, the fat (and lonely and I suspect still recovering from depression) grey cat is impassive towards either: He either still knows who Jyn is, or just doesn’t care. He just really likes companionship of all kinds.
Recently, Avery and Jyn have been drifting further and further apart after Jyn ran away for about a month. We’ve mostly been able to keep things contained to a dull roar-while we’re in the house, with a carefully watchful eye, the worst we have is Jyn growling at Avery to stay away. The reasoning behind this is that whenever we *aren’t* looking, or when Avery and Jyn are outside, Avery supposedly tries to chase her off the property. But tonight, somehow in the two minutes I was gone putting the chickens up, I come back to Avery having scratched Jyn’s ear. It’s not fatal, or really that bad-nothing more than a cut. But it’s the message that really worries me. Avery really doesn’t remember Jyn, and is not in any way willing to reconcile with her. Ishmael is no help at all, the classic ‘if I stay on both sides I’ll be okay’ mentality. After I put Avery outside-because this is something that she should not do!-she was scratching at the door, mewing quite pathetically. She does not believe she’s done anything wrong; I suspect she thinks she’s protecting the house. I really don’t know what to do....
If anyone has any ideas to help them get re-acclimated, please let me know. Just hit this with a reblog or something with the advice, I’d just... really like to be able to have all three cats inside for the winter, without worrying about a brawl breaking out in the living room.
Sorry for the long post. Here’s some pictures of the cats-Jyn is the black one, Avery is the tortoishell (calico? i dunno) and Ishmael is the grey. Hope y’all have a good day!
