Hi everyone. Sorry I've been offline from the site for a few months. I've been busy lately since my last post a few months ago with work, and also with the 8-month long cat introduction between Sugar and Bailey. So i'm giving up a quick update on everything. I hope to resume posting and commenting on my nights off at least twice a week for now. Work: In January,my onboarding ended as my case is closed with OOd and Hattie Larlham. So goes my contact with Raenell and Lauri, though it's been a year since I switched job coaches this month. Last month, I've turned in my vacation request form to have my vacation in late September/Early October. Lately, I've been working 10-4 twice a week, 11-5 on Wednesdays, and the occasional Saturday for holiday sales (like Easter/Passover this weekend.) I've worked nights back in January for 2.5 weeks to fill in when someone was out sick. As for the cats, it's been 8 months since I've adopted Sugar last Friday. It's been a long introduction between the two of them. But thing are the slightest bit better, since I've done virtual vet appointments via Dutch for both cats who have anxiety/stress issues. Both are currently under medication, though Bailey had some litter box accidents, but she has shown no aggression in two months, except for the whine. I haven't given up on Sugar who's still in the bathroom, but she had jumped twice over the gate last month. Even with the gate slightly open, she hasn't come out on her own... yet. That's about it for now. I'll pop in here in a few days.

Jackson Galaxy when he has two cats who don't get along has them eat and play together, to learn nice things happen when they are with the other cat. Sugar is clearly terrified..I think he would alrecommend that you play with her..and get her more confident.I also know he would recommend a high place, tall cat tree etc for her to go to.
