Hello friends, so I've been duplicating photos for a while here and on my Flickr page, and since so many more people view Flickr, I've decided to save myself some time and only post there, at least for now. There will be no new posts here until I figure out something else to do with this blog. Thank you for visiting and commenting - you can can continue to view all the kitty pics (and post comments) here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hapatxn/
Thank you!!

They're touching!!
Jiji has been so much more tolerant of the other kitties - she even allowed Fiko's head fur to touch her leg!!

Fiko did it!!
Finally, Fiko makes his first solo trip down the stairs, slowly and gingerly. I was so happy I jumped up and down and waved my arms around for a while, then came to my senses and gave him some treats.
Mastered going up
We have some progress with Fiko. If you cover his eyes and carry him downstairs, he can walk back upstairs by himself. I feel like he will be coming down on his own any day now!
Fiko's prison
He still won't come downstairs. He sits either at the top of the stairs or at the loft railing looking at me down below, crying his eyes out. Look at that sad face!

So then...
I figured that maybe going down the stairs for the first time is scarier than going up, so I carried him down and he explored downstairs for a while. THEN, he climbed up the stairs on his own (!!!) and 2 steps from the top, he looked back down and decided he wanted to be downstairs again, at which point he JUMPED from there! I tried to stop him but he was just desperate to be downstairs again. Could this be why he was limping the other day? I think the curve in the staircase is confusing him...is he ever going to figure this out before breaking all of his legs? I'm going to block the gaps between the stairs for now so he doesn't break a leg or something.
Bribery
As you can see, he wouldn't come down even one step for his treat, and ended up knocking it off the stair.

No Momos were harmed
Momo was playing under the plastic sheets covering the chairs while painting. Don't worry, he wasn't suffocating or anything. I would only let that happen if he were really being a pain. Joking!
Are you sure it's safe?
Fiko has been up in the loft looking down at us on the first floor for hours now, and won't stop crying. I guess the stairs are made of LAVA.
Still scared of the lava stairs
Fiko still seems to think the stairs are made of lava and he won't come down and hang out with the rest of us.
