I didn’t know that trimming down the plants in the Catio would cause so much craziness and crankiness in the Monsters.
They are clearly upset that their mini jungle has been thinned out. There’s no place to hide or take an afternoon nap there anymore.
I think it shocked them, ie. “Oh no….what happened to our jungle?????”
Smurfy and Robin have gone crazy.
Minnie is so upset that the path up to her top-of-the-world platform is so exposed now.
Rey also isn’t himself and is not eating well.
Smurfy, in particular, keeps wanting to come into the house now and when he does, he attacks whoever is in the house.
Yesterday, he launched an attack on Tabs while I was taking a bath. It was crazy. I had to come out to stop the attack. Tabs was so frightened, she urinated all over the floor, all the way from upstairs, down the stairs to downstairs.
Smurfy has reacted by just attacking whichever more vulnerable and “easy targets” for him. He has attacked Riley too when he comes into the house.
We need to strive to reach a new equilibrium in the Catio now.
I am hoping that the palm plants will grow back soon. We’ll just have to make sure they don’t become too lush and thick, especially at the bottom. Hopefully, the Monsters will accept the new “jungle” then.
They used to love taking naps along the wall where the grey pebbles are. That was their mini jungle.
I know, all those pots got to go. I’m just not sure how to remove that big pot and transport it away. Tony said all these pots are possible breeding grounds or hiding places. And there’s no way you can prevent them from coming in. Unless of course, you seal up every nook and cranny and air-cont the whole place.
That fateful night, when the reptile was in our garden, our Monsters were all very scared. I don’t know why there were scared, though. Did they know something was in the garden or did they just sense my fear and decided to “shadow” me? Well, everyone except Minnie.
Females are hunters.
But I doubt Tabs and Riley know how to hunt!
