neadodsFor them what worry about Cat Mulder:
Yesterday I came home, checked on him, fed him, and went back downstairs to catch up on things.
About 90 minutes later, I heard Mickey hissing. I looked up to see her reacting to Mulder, complete with cone of shame, calmly strolling through the living room.
When he was returned to his upstairs residence, it took less than two minutes for him to make another standing jump over the child gate onto stairs leading down without hurting himself or falling. So we took the hint and took down the barrier.
He's still not allowed into the basement, which pisses him off. He still has to wear the cone of shame (which he keeps trying to groom himself through. We call him Shortbus for a reason).
Tomorrow afternoon the staples come out.

Old habits die hard, apparently.
Glad Mulder's on the mend, though!

Pic is of our own late IQ-challenged kitty, Satin. We used to call her Movie Star because she was gorgeous, needy & dim.
