After shock!

Since Kuro stayed inside our house for two weeks, Kyoku has had some strange habits.
It could be to display himself, or to hold a dominant position, but he usually prefers to be in high places.

He usually sleeps by an upper window upstairs. There are many books and records under the window, and he seems to feel comfortable on them.
He moves through the living room bounding from the table to his shelf, even if we say NO! to him. And he jumps on a heater we didn’t put away yet. (Although he sometimes slips.)
And he sometimes comes up on my not so big computer desk, and he sprinkles his snivel while he is grooming. I have a lot of trouble with it. He makes it harder for me to use the mouse and keyboard.

Kuro is scheduled for his neutering on the 14th. Because of the anaesthesia, he can’t eat and drink from the previous night, so we have been thinking to have him stay inside our house again.
We worry that Kyoku, who has almost recovered to his usual condition, will feel blue about it again…
