Desperation breeds desperate actions. I may be losing Mini-Me in a few weeks. I don't know how I can actually bring myself to do that. So I packed up Waldo, Lovely,and Mini-Me in 2 carriers. And we went to a hotel today. I put them in a strange one story cage there with 2 hammocks, a rug, blanket, food,water, and litter box. Waldo actually fought back in the cage. It was brief. Mini-Me did not try to kill him. I took turns holding them, laying in bed reading or watching TV. Mini_Me stayed on the ground level. Waldo stayed in a hammock. There were brief spats. Then they settled down....We just got home. Mini-Me tried to kill Waldo shortly after arriving home and being released from the cage. So back in they both went. All went quite again after a short fight. I have just picked them up and put them in a 2 story cage with Sunny Rhino Mudd. A 30 second or so fight erupted, and ended with Mini-Me going down stairs to sleep in a hammock there. I know I am stressing out Waldo and Mini-Me. I may be changing Waldos sweet utterly trusting manner in ways forever. But I am feeling so desperate. Waldo is twice as big, and 4 times the weight. He is young and healthy. He just HAS to defend himself instead of allowing Mini_Me to victimize him. Please pray I can trick these two to co-exist and become friends. I cannot imagine giving my little Wacko away and living with myself now that the time to meet with the lady who might take her is drawing near. [Posted in FML issue 3868]
