While this <em>does<\/em> mean that I get free run of the whole house (including the bedroom!) at night, somehow I can&#8217;t bring myself to get too excited over it.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Betsy is <strong>not pleased at all<\/strong> about this situation &#8211; especially the &#8220;being picked up and syringe fed 3 times a day&#8221; bit. But dad and mum are keeping it up, and Betsy is keeping up the disapproval.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"betsy - pissed off after a syringe feeding\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/keithius\/6002890537\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6003\/6002890537_1b6660643f.jpg\" alt=\"betsy - pissed off after a syringe feeding\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a> Betsy appreciates all the good wishes we&#8217;ve gotten, although I think she would appreciate not being picked up and syringe-fed more. (Dad of course is a big softie and gets all choked up every time someone wishes Betsy well in the comments.)<\/p>\n<p>Dad promised her that he&#8217;d stop force-feeding her if she starts eating and pooping on her own, but so far the most she&#8217;s done is just nibbled some parsley here and there.<\/p>\n<p>As for the pooping thing, dad says I am not helping by using Betsy&#8217;s litterbox every chance I get and confounding his attempts to see if she&#8217;s pooped yet&#8230; but it&#8217;s my litterbox, too! That spare one he set up outside our area just isn&#8217;t the same!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Betsy will give in to dad&#8217;s demands eventually&#8230; somehow, he always wins.
