Moving Right Along

Last night I was able to kick back in a comfy chair, covered with a blanket and watch them from outside the pen.  There has been no fighting at all.  Just continual play.  I even felt I could run upstairs every now and then and leave them for a few minutes.  When I came back, they were just doing the same thing.  I gave them some toys as well.  Still, neither one has gone to the bathroom on these play dates and I have to address that soon.  They are a creature of habit and want to keep going in their old area so they just hold it.  When I let them back in, occasionally one of them sprints to their litter box.  So, as I lay awake at 4:00 this morning, I started brainstorming.  I think my next step is to try to neutralize their litter area by changing everything and opening it up.  I'm going to eliminate their small cages and just put two larger litter boxes on the floor in the same spot as their old ones were.  I may also need to reconstruct both their condos into one living area, completely different than what they currently have and introduce them both to it at the same time.  Because it seems as long as the territory is neutral and neither one has staked a claim to it, they get along great.  So, time to put my designer hat on and get busy.
