Gary Cooper is taking full advantage of my promise not to shoo him out of his cat cave.
With the snow making them visible Coyote tracks around the barn. Mr. Coyote was here yesterday morning. Too slow to snap a picture. Makes me nervous about letting Gary have free range at the barn.
I don't think that's the reason he's scared. I think his fight or flight switches are permanently in place, there's no neutral for Gary. Always on alert.
It's one of the things I've been working on. Introduction to noise, movement that I hope he comes to see as not requiring a response.
you can see him, i believe you.
we took in 4 month old brothers once...almost 6 months till they were ok separated...like Siamese twins. my Odd couple, Felix and Oscar! both all black..terrified for a long time.
eventually Felix got white whiskers.

your experience with horses has to be a plus.
