One more step

ostarellaWell, it was rainy and cold and windy this morning, so I closed the outside door. I was going to try that last night, but decided I wanted to be wide awake in case Fang took a more rowdy exception to being "locked in". It worked out well, though - the weather certainly helped. As I started to close the door, he scurried out - about a foot. :D Looked around at the rain and general nastiness and came back inside and let me close the door with no further protest. Oh, he had to have his hour of loving up and being told how beautiful and cute he was (yeah, okay, so I tend to get mushy around small animals - as long as no one's around to hear me :p), but after I left he just went back to bed. Then this afternoon it cleared up and the sun came out (and he tried to climb on a bag and had it fall on him - luckily it just had some lightweight stuff in it) so I opened the door for him. Showed absolutely no interest in going outside for over an hour and then he kinda meandered out. So I don't think the switch from outdoor to indoor cat is going to be anywhere near traumatic for him.
Had one more very short encounter with Petey - he hissed, Petey barked - but he didn't take off out the door this time, and I pulled Petey away before things got too frantic. When my brother comes down this weekend, we'll be working on that relationship. Muffy's watched us through the window and seems a little curious - but she's confident enough of her "Queen Bitch" status not to be too worried, I guess :p
Anyway... onward and upward.
35 days...
