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?
Ali, one of them is a real roly poly. Gigantic actually. We've been told that it's not if he gets diabetes but when if we don't get him to lose some weight. So although chubby is cute it's not healthy. He is sooo lazy too. All he wants to do is eat and cuddle. Male neutered inside cats generally get chubby. I think they need to start opening gyms for cats with personal trainers, the whole bit, cause when I drag a string around for him he just gives me this pitying look like he's thinking "nice try"
Gershun, the dog whisperer would recommend taking your cat on the treadmill at the gym. Or, have a smaller treadmill at home? I guess you would have to train it. I don't know if one can train cats, I thought they trained their owners.
Ordering online would be a great idea for Luckylu! Setting up an automatic, regular delivery might work, because she has several pets. I hope she reads the post about CHEWY, ff.
He didn't go to far from me. But he did manage to wind himself quite intricately around the legs of several folding camp chairs! And got to eat some grass for the first time....
Funny how grass-eating is instinctual in cats!
They are such good company!
Dorienne,
Happy that you have some spring weather! As I am writing, it is pouring down rain in So. California. Yay Bruce!
Seemed to enjoy it. Don't have a lot of time
right now, but now that spring is here maybe
we 'll get out again. Going to turn our three season porch into a dedicated space for the cats.
Shopping for a large cat tree. My son is coming to help move the couch and chairs out. Also need to explore litter box options. They are so
spoiled!! 😺 😼 😸 😽
Did your new cats 🐱 pick you yet?
He meets each one at the door after I buzz them into the building. If they pay attention to him, or if he knows them already, he follows them everywhere and winds himself all around the room while they're helping mom. Then he waits by the door so they will say good-bye before they leave.
If they don't pay attention to him or just aren't animal people, he will just sit and watch while they help mom. And doesn't even wait for a good-bye!
On respite days, mom is asleep most of the time, so if they are animal people, he will hang out with them and nap within a foot or two of wherever they end up sitting. Even the total strangers.
He even has his favourites! Of course, those are the workers who "ooh and ahh" over his great beauty, AND play with him, AND give him a proper cuddle....
So that is nature behaving badly.
I feel really bad for the squirrel that belonged to those hands.
Guess I will be stopping feeding the squirrel now, because if that
happened to Ratatouille, I would be devastated.
CWillie was right, that I am overly sensitive. Letting nature happen,
but not on my watch.
She has a better chance out there in nature, not eating on my porch, imo.
I would never be able to choose between a cat, a squirrel, or a bird.
Thanks for the warning about how nature works with squirrels.
However, I choose to believe it was more likely a possum.

Are you saying that the squirrel hands were raptured?
I thought it might be a Rapture because one other time,there was half an eaten squirrel in the back yard and I put a Frisbee over it and went to get a sack and this giant bird swooped down and took the part squirrel and flew off with it from under the Frisbee and my dH told me it was a Rapture.
a rat and a bunny. Such lovely gifts, he was such a generous dog. His sister "Ruckus" was a lap dog. I'm glad my cats don't go out. Got my Chewy order this afternoon. New litter boxes,
litter and lots of cat food....7 boxes in all.
I told the cats the Chewy boxes were new toys.
So far two paws up for speedy delivery.
And Send,Your'e right,a total of 2 squirrels lost themselves,but at different times.
It did seem odd to me that a dinosaur would be out squirrel-hunting in 2018....
Lots of dinosaurs were raptors. And as for T Rex's closest living relatives, my son was thoughtfully watching our head chicken DeeDee and her underlings crossing our lawn on their morning expedition and remarked...
"Oh my God. Raptors!"
Yup. Beneath those cute plump feathery exteriors lurk souls of icy steel.
smeshque - you're funny. : ) I bet the early pioneers ate all kinds of games including raccoons.
I was surprised to learn how many of the dinosaurs were feathered, even some of the big guys. Now everything the museums and Hollywood has taught me is wrong, and I don't know how to feel.
