We have had our new baby Coons for days and they are fabulous. Getting more friendly by the day, both purring gambolling balls of fun.
The barrier gate has gone..as Obie scaled it, came downstairs, ate Portia's food and then tried to pounce on her!! She was remarkably restrained and just gave a disgusted hiss and walked off 
He is now everywhere.
Ophie on the other hand will NOT come downstairs.. she seems terrified of them. I did carry her down tonight but she was scared stiff in the living room and bolted back up.. fine but she then sits at the top crying for her braver brother!
I presume she will eventually come down (obviously they have food and litter upstairs still, but I'd like them to have it downstairs soonish as they kick it everywhere even with a covered tray!) but any tips on how to make her feel safer?
Here are some pics from tonight.. Obie is the ginger and Ophie the brown tortie. :) I just love Obie's rear end sleeping position
