Dolly is a beautiful cat that lives with Miss Blake. She’s an indoor/outdoor kitty and with all the snow they’ve been having up there she’s had trouble finding a potty spot outside. Unfortunately, she also wasn’t using the litter box in the house, which was causing much consternation to Blake -especially so since she's trying to get the house ready for sale. I checked in with Dolly (and her housemate kitty, Chaplin) to see what we could do to help the litter box situation.
Chaplin, Blake's black and white kitty sort of popped into mind first! Chappie misses painting...I asked Blake if she had not been doing her watercolor painting and let her know that he really does think he's helping her when he’s sticking his paw in the water and treading all over her papers and generally being an anti-helper in her eyes. He sees himself as quite the fancy man!
Dolly has a cool vibe...like a mix of Xena and a schoolmarm. <3 She is seriously a no-nonsense kitty. I told her that I knew it must be tough not being able to go outside and that the upset in her normal routine was understandable, but that Mom was trying to get the house ready for sale and needed it to be pee-free and super clean. If she could just use the litter box regularly until Spring arrived, it would be appreciated greatly and she graciously agreed. I asked if there was anything she needed to let Mom know and she said “Keep the litter box scooped! No one wants a dirty bathroom!” Well, there you go – succinct, no-nonsense…my kind of kitty!
It was really an honor to connect to these two very different personalities and send them Reiki!
