Lil Roxie

[Maggie Cummings]

Lil Roxie is the Grande Dame of the female cats in my house. She has arthritis in her hips so bad that she's on pain injections and has a hard time walking. She's 15 yrs old and weighs 8 pounds. She has NEVER paid any attention to the tortoises.
Mandy (Russian Tort)was brought to me sick last month so she is in a 'hospital' tank making it easier to care for her.
Lil Roxie has a habit of sleeping with me only when I am sick. Look at what she's doing to Mandy. I kicked her out of the bin and she was back in, in about 5 minutes....So, I give up, if Lil Roxie wants to cuddle a sick tortoise she can.

I took out the light thinking that would keep Roxie out, as she is a heat-seeker. But she climbed in anyway.
Mandy is on the road to recovery, she'll now hold up her head and eat cat food tasting baby food from a spoon.....mixed with strained carrots...

I don't know what to say. Pretty cat. Silly cat. Strange bed partners.

I think she just likes the small container. Try a container without the tortoise in it but with some towels or something in it and I bet she'll go in it also.

Maggie, I'm very glad that your tortoise has been responding well.
From what I know about cats......Nothing
