First day readings

Well, looks like I have some learning to do.
I traded out some stuff in the room Lucie claimed. I put her favorite blanket under the corner stand, giving her a nice cave that smells like her and added a sprinkle of catnip to lure her in so she finds it. Also, her favorite toys are strewn about. I moved the litter box from the scene of the crimes to a more workable spot. I have high hopes that Lucie will accept the new turf and not feel the need to mark it. Also, perhaps the other two will get the hint. That may be a stretch.
The cats remain largely suspicious of the book itself, but they're scared of everything, so no worries.
Next comes group scent establishment to hopefully reduce anxiety and aggression.

Cleo with her "stay off the perch and no one gets hurt" look on.

Callie bobbing and weaving so the book can't attack her.

Lucie being her antisocial psycho self. Her ears are forward in the "dare you to touch me" position. Pass.
