everyone for all your good wishes
I've been liberally spraying Feliway since it happened but he's still petrified
He's on the top of their scratcher at the moment, I think he feels safe up there but he can't stay there forever!
Lucas would have been scared by the noise Riley was making ... and as it probably isn't a cry he has heard before he wouldn't have known it was his brother so he is probably terrified that whatever was making the noise could still be loose in the house.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there Sam, I've heard cat fights before and know what they sound like but this was no cat fight - the noise was so horrific my first thought was that a dog or another creature must have got in the house somehow and was attacking Riley. When I found him I was convinced his legs were broken, the noise was terrifying - I was almost scared to look what was making it
I guess he takes after me in the hypochondriac stakes!
Here's my two little soldiers just a few minutes ago....
Riley convalescing on the warm (fresh from tumble dryer) duvet cover
LuLu chasing the monsters away in his dreams (safe on the top of his tower)
