Nyssa This Morning

After her meds this morning Nyssa climbed up to the top hammock and snuggled up with Chin Soon. A little later she started heading down, I guess to the litter pan, while Ella started coming up from the bottom. A quick moving Ella met a slow moving Nyssa on the middle level and Ella litterally went across Nyssa to get to the water bottle, literally laying on Nyssa to drink. Nyssa started crying. She had to go to the litter pan right then and there and didn't have the strength to extricate herself from Ella. Ella didn't mean any harm and wasn't trying to pick on Nyssa.

Anyway, I cleaned up both Nyssa and the middle level. I then put Nyssa back in the bottom of the cage. She promptly, slowly, went back up the ramp, ending up in the top hammock snuggled with Chin Soon.

Poor Nyssa. She doesn't move very quickly anymore and she isn't strong anymore. She is still strong willed, though, and Ella wasn't going to change where she wanted to be or where she was going.
