Sagan and Cats
Update on Sagan -- We officially gave up trying to work with the cats a couple of months ago. We have accepted (as much as we can) that Sagan and Shadow will never get along. It's tough. We have to keep the two separated and we will for the rest of, I would guess, Shadow's life. Shadow is my baby and I hope he lives as long as felinely possible. He ( Read more... ) -

Been a long time since I've updated! I can't catch up on everything right now. But I wanted to say ( Read more... ) -
Cat Update
We've been working with our two cats that don't get along for quite awhile now. Sagan has been leash trained. Each night we're letting Shadow out while Sagan is on his leash. At this point, I'm not letting Sagan follow Shadow downstairs or even fully approach him. I view it as allowing Shadow to call the shots since he's the one who gets chased ( Read more... ) -
Cats Update
Sunday night (August 30) we finally tried letting Shadow out with Sagan on a leash. Sagan returned to his usual behavior and tried to chase Shadow. The leash worked great. I was able to control Sagan and prevent a fight. It was discouraging that Sagan tried to chase. I was hoping he would just approach to sniff ( Read more... ) -
Cats Update
We are getting close to taking the next step with Shadow and Sagan - getting them in a same room together with Sagan wearing a harness and leash. Last night I let Sagan see Shadow again though the door and this time he cared more about getting the harness off than seeing Shadow. He saw Shadow, but for the first time, showed no interest in him!

Horses
I went to my friend Tara's place and horses are nearby. So we went there and fed them carrots. Well, Tara fed them - I wasn't feeling brave enough to try it. I've only been this close to horses once before. They're so big! They're neat, but also a little scary. I did learn that their noses are very soft.

Kayaking, Cats
I FINALLY went to a Wednesday night kayak meeting with SKOAC (http://www.skoac.org/), the kayak club I joined. I've been trying to get out there for a year! It was so fun! Everyone was super nice and friendly. I was surprised at how quickly I felt at ease with everyone. I unfortunately got a foot cramp, so I didn't join in on practicing rescue ( Read more... ) -
Sagan Update
This last weekend was nice. We did a lot and got a lot done. One significant thing that happened is, our niece Jen visited. She seems to be doing pretty well. She has a roommate who has two cats, but that roomate is moving, so Jen will be catless. She was planning to get a cat of her own and heard about our troubles. She has offered to take Sagan ( ( Read more... )
