Well, last night I thought one of my cats was up to something and sure enough he was. He made a chrysalis! It was so much fun to watch even though I missed the good parts. He had been hanging on the side of the cage for about a day. When I got home from work he was a brighter green and looked smoother. He was also scrunched up so that he looked a lot smaller than he had been. Oh, and he had the sling around him and seemed to be attached at his booty, too. I fell asleep watching football and woke up about midnight and he hadn't changed. I do remember hearing something hit the bottom of the cage during the night but I just thought it was one of them pooing. But now I think maybe it was his head coming off. When I woke up this morning (about 6:00) he was fully enclosed. He's shaped well and has good color - I'm feeling really good about this one! The little ones have been hanging out next to him all evening; maybe it makes them feel safe?
