Echo has been patiently waiting in the bathroom for a week now for Marceline to settle down and be ok with her coming to explore the house, but Marceline is having a rough time still so I decided to get her a little cat tree so she can at least have some vertical space in here since it’s a big bathroom but a small space in general. Marceline has been starting to get curious and come to the door so that’s a good sign. We switched to an open door and a gate today so my hope is that we will be integrating soon! But this little girl has amazed me with every thi by she has done. She was a rockstar for the vet, and she is so competent at getting around that I swear she is hiding eyes somewhere! She is still pretty boogery - she is on Doxy to prevent any bacterial infections but the vet thinks that she is having a flare up of the herpes virus that took her eyes as a kitten and that all we can do is wait and try to keep her comfortable. Having her in the bathroom is actually kind of advantageous because it allows me to steam the room twice a day which has been helping tremendously! This is her first time seeing her new cat tree 🥰
