I put up the new pen in the living room so Lily could be part of all the "action" instead of being downstairs alone when she is in her pen. I think this is going to work out really well. I used an identical litter box and I brought up her crate and put it in there so she wouldn't have too much excess space. She did her business in the litter box with no problem. I finally get to watch how she spends her time. I rarely saw what she was doing once she was in her pen downstairs. She runs around jumping in and out her litter box and pen and actually plays with her toys. Once it was bedtime I followed our usual routine, took her crate back to the other pen. Off to sleep she went. I took her outside for the first time (carried her). She was shivering again so I guess since she has not been outside before it makes her a little anxious. I will take her out for a few minutes ev couple of days. I also bought a new carrier that is mesh all along one side. Hopefully this will help her feel more comfortable in the car. Oh, she also tries to jump out of my arms now. That's new. She loves to run and she's very fast.
