lol, Eve does the peck down, get away from me move with one of the cats. He hates the small cat Sage. You are definitely reading it right! I'm glad everything is going so well. Never fear going on and on about Keely. Personally I could talk vasa all day. I think the consensus is that unless it is breeding season most vasa's do not chew wood. And even then it is only soft wood. Popsicle sticks work well to! Eve loves them. And they are very cheap.
