I'm not entirely sure why the breeder didn't want them to be parted, as
most of the time they don't like each other ;-)

I went into the bedroom and the next thing Ganzi let out a wail like
I just stood on his tail then hugged my leg with claws out so I let
out a wail as well

Bonnie decided to attack Ganzi at the point. Full on ears flat,
growling and Ganzi had to retreat to the top ofÂ* my bedside locker
and Bonnie still wanted to kill him

5 minutes later they're curled up in the hallway washing each other

It's a cat thing

LOL!Â* Also ouch!

Yes, cats can be interesting.Â* Years ago, when Waffles was still
alive, I was getting ready to take his littermate Pickles to the vet.
To say that Pickles hated the cat carrier was an understatement.Â* At
that time, I had a soft-sided carrier that could be zipped and
unzipped along the length of the top, but there was also a zipper that
went around three sides of the end, so you could use either method to
put them in or take them out.

I was afraid that if I used the top opening, Pickles would get out
again before I could zip it closed.Â* I decided to stand the carrier on
end and put Pickles in headfirst.Â* That way by the time she turned
around and dealt with gravity, I'd have it zipped shut.Â* As I started
to stuff her in headfirst, she let out a scream like I've never heard
from any cat.

Waffles was in the hallway watching, and when Pickles screamed,
Waffles jumped me from behind.Â* I dropped Pickles and we never did get
to the vet.Â* I was shocked, but I wasn't really angry with Waffles,
because he was just defending his sister.

LOL I can picture that, Joy!Â* Persia (RB) would fight tooth and nail
against getting into the soft sided carrier.Â* Top, side, didn't matter.
Once she was in there she promptly started yowling and got so upset
she'd throw up.


When I got Pickles into a Carrier, she would yowl all the way to the
vet. On the way home, she would repeatedly throw herself against the
end of the carrier. She actually broke two that weren't constructed for
that sort of treatment.

I lure Buffy in through the zippered opening on the end with a bit of
crunchy cat kibble.Â* She thinks she's getting treats.Â* Once in the
carrier she settles down without complaint.Â* I'm sure she wonders what's
going on but she doesn't put up a fuss.
