Does your Cat (or any pet) misbehave since caregiving your loved one?
Have you been required to take care of your loved one's pet after they have passed? Does your pet have cute antics that entertain your loved one?
And finally, has the cat or dog transferred their loyalty to your Mother?
I still have my wild child "Charlie" who was a good little caregiver for his sister, I believe he understood what was happening to her. He is 17 years old going on 2. Hopefully he will be around for awhile.
Last night I accidentally whacked wee Bruce on the head, and I was soooo freaked out! He became subdued and I started to panic that I caused him a brain injury. I actually don't think the whack was hard enough for that, and he seems fine today. But I was in tears! And holding him so close and apologizing, wetting his fur with tears. And then he was pawing at my face (clawless) because he's 3 months old and he's never seen tears before. It would have been adorable if I hadn't been so freaked out.
Man, have I gotten so attached to this little guy already! I'm like a child sometimes. I think I was attached before I even brought him home (picked him out when he was 2 weeks, but had to wait till he was old enough). He has kind of become my little fluffball of happiness since I started staying with mom, the thing that brings me joy and makes not being in my own home a little bearable. Right now I am sitting on the bed with my laptop, and he is laying beside me with his head on corner of the keyboard. Hope I don't need any F keys.
Bruce was subdued because he thought you'd had enough. No harm done!
The Forbidden Room.
Bliss!
Boundaries, Dorianne. That's all I'm saying. Boundaries.
Boundaries, shmoundaries though. Little guy comes to me with massage therapy. He curls up between my shoulder blades and falls asleep while the therapist is working on my lower back and hip flexors. It's extra relaxing. :-P
And I mean....really, it's my fault because I should have brought out the toys after the first "attack," lol. He's just a kitten!
seat. We trade that it's their uber ride. My his wasn't really
a cat person but he enjoys them. A couple sit on his lap
for pats and scratches. One sleeps half the night on his bed. Our last two dogs were Jack Russell terriers. So hyper!
But for right now the cats are less in your face and quicker
to get out from underfoot. Someday I'd love to get another
dog. Maybe another cocker spaniel. 🐕 🐈

I sure don't want any of the other's to be jealous! Thanks Gershun for reminding me about Henrick.Sorry if I upset him.
Luckyku, do you think I should put out a bowl of water, maybe with liquid pet vitamins in it? And I must treat for fleas, already, on the porch. Getting itchy already.
If I die of the bubonic plague, lol, I have asked hubs to login to tell you all g o o d b y e !
I think Cwillie has to go to the town square to see Willus, the town mascot. Best kind of pet to have---from a distance. (joking).
Mom pooped herself and threw the dirty clothes (AND the incontinence pad) straight into the washer. I didn't realize it and ran the machine. I am still up - I've been so busy, I have no clean underwear for tomorrow. But I couldn't run the washer, because first I had to re-rinse mom's clothes, run a "clean wash," and then re-wash mom's clothes! Then it was safe to wash mine, lol. I still can't go to bed till I get my dang underpants in the dryer, at least.
So basically I'm awake on "cat time." "Crazy hour," as my dad used to call it. I used it to teach Bruce how to play fetch! And he actually figured it out pretty well....once he realized I'd keep throwing the toy, he came scampering back like a dog with a stick! Now he's busy killing the mouse over and over again, at my feet.
He should sleep well and not at all try to gnaw on my nose tonight.
And I just heard the wash finish! Yay! Good night everyone!
She's snuggled into the back of my knees being her usual lovely little self. Wish I could put her photo up.
I'm not sure it is acute hearing, Lonely. I think it might be mind control?
We have two pet rats as well. They were my son's birthday present this year. I couldn't wait for him to wake up on the day, so I woke him and dragged him out of bed, and when he saw what they were his sleepy eyes lit up and he said 'my children!'
World domination mind control cat doesn't kill them even though they run around on the lounge. She never tried to kill the guineapigs either. They lived in an open enclosure on the lounge floor and it didn't occur to me that cats might like to hunt them. It didn't occur to her either!
Carmella used to appear out of nowhere anytime any food source made noise....WHY do they make the Temptations bags look and sound the same as snacks-for-people bags???? WHY?
Very funny that. The puppies must have thought it was a bag of their kibbies.
Wondering if the squirrel will mess with the bag of potting soil still on my front porch?
This morning I looked out and gasped......it was gone! The whole bag!
dH had moved it.
Kitten snuggles are the most awesome thing when you're not feeling well. :-D
