In an attempt to create peace in the cat clan (as easy and simple as lasting peace in the Middle East), we have thrown open the door to the downstairs and fixed the cat door to allow cats in but not out. That allows Miss White to be plunked outside when she wants to go out and she can come back in the cat door to escape from the evil neighborhood boxer or rain. It keeps Cricket and the other indoor cats from getting out.
With the entire downstairs available for roaming, tension has lessened a bit. Sweetie Pie is now coming out of the kitchen cabinets to at least sit on the counters. Pansy has returned to the back of Mom's chair in the living room. Cricket goes everywhere and Hummer seems to be happy staying upstairs. Miss White is terrified of Hummer and acts as if she doen't know what a kitten is.
Maybe we can all just get along - and I can keep Cricket. It's so nice to have a cat who lets me brush her long hair - closest I'll ever get to a daughter.
