the kitties are still rooted in their trauma/drama, so one is still always parked in the kitty condo, Sigh. At least I am over the part where my heart is broken daily because of their fighting. For the trip, one is going to have to stay in the "condo" and one will get the run of the apt. A friend will check in on them a couple of times. I have finally come to the understanding that I shouldn't feel bad about it-- they have food, water and shelter and it is what it is.
But that said, I am going to clip their claws when I get back and put them together in the apt. and see if they can work it out, even if cat violence is involved.
