Let's talk about the laser focus of Skye. Here you can see her locked in on something outside, but sometimes that focus is on playing with Abby and Niblet.
Skye did a SkyeJerk move last night with poor Abby. She may have too much pep in her step now!
Abby hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks and she's had to get lots of meds and trips to the vet. She suffers from chronic UTI's and it usually takes twice as long for her to get over the infection. She's also a very sensitive kitty and has anxiety. After discussing with her vet we decided to put her on some kitty drugs to lower her stress, which may be contributing to her UTI's and even help her with day to day anxiety. A side effect of this new med is that she's going to be pretty sleepy and lethargic for a few weeks. And she really has been, but she does come downstairs in the evening for pets, brushing, and some low-key playtime.
Last night Skye came downstairs all ready to play and there was Abby hopped up on drugs, minding her own business. Skye runs into her at full speed and tackles her. Abby. Did. Not. See. It. Coming. Abby tried to get away, but Skye was relentless. I had to break it up and even pick up Skye and move her to try and break the laser focus she had on Abby. Skye can play a little too rough for the other kitties sometimes.
99% of the time Skye is sweet and calm, but when that 1% comes out, watch out!
Abby didn't get hurt and Skye worked off her energy chasing a ball in a cat tunnel. Hopefully Abby will be fully recovered when she goes in for a checkup next week.
