Gates are up!

The baby gates have been up for five days.  Tubi, Chloe and Sweetsie are fine and Leo is exercising his topcat position as we expected.  He is hissing and vocalizing and ocasionally doing a charge on the gate just like he did with Sweetsie.  When both Joe and I are home at meal time, we feed Frankie, Tubi and Leo at the gate.  Chloe and Sweetsie want to eat at their regular spots in the kitchen, they will not come up to the gate.

I also give them treats at the gates so that they associate good things with each other.

On Sunday we did a room exchange, we let Frankie explore the house and allowed Leo to explore Frankie's room.  Frankie was soooo happy to be out and about and now he is crying to come out but Leo is not ready.  So, tonight we will do another room exchange and tomorrow evening we will try a play session with the bird at the gate; I will be with Frankie in his room and Joe will be in the hallway on the other side of the gate with the other babies.
