It’s been all about Luna this week but here’s a photo of Luna with baby Morcilla (she was just a few months old). Luna not only loved her new little sister but she was also very protective towards her. Then, just after Loki died and Morcilla had an operation to remove a (thankfully benign) cyst on her head… everything changed. When Morcilla got home from the op Luna started hissing and spitting at her previously beloved sister and, even once Morcilla was better and no longer wearing a scary collar or smelling like the vet’s office things never went back to how they used to be. Since then the two girls have kept a cool distance and it kind of breaks my heart even still. So whenever I see the Power of the Duvet bring them even a little bit closer together I am happy.

But now the tables have turned and it’s Morcilla hissing and spitting at Luna! And I’m like… wtf chicas?? Anyhow, keeping them mostly separated for now and at night Luna has been shut in the living room / office with everything she needs. Today things changed when Luna sneakily found her way onto Peter’s bed when nobody was looking (esp not Peter who was sitting in his comfy chair IN FRONT OF HIS BED and on his laptop – duh). Luna looked so relaxed I decided to move her “hospital room” and now the food and water dishes and litter box are in there. At least for now. There are cushions along the bed on the floor and, at the end, a little footstool to help her get off and on the bed. Taking things one day at a time.

​

I wouldn’t like to say Morcilla is spoiled or anything like that, but after spotting her on several occasions attempting to drink out of the water glass I keep on my desk, I thought she might like a glass of her own. And sure enough… 🐈‍⬛🤍🐾

(yes, there is another water bowl that Morcilla and Luna share, constantly refreshed with filtered water)
