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?
It could be that he is skittish is because you probably are on different medicine since you have been sick, and he isn't sure if you are really you as you smell different to him.
It's strange how animals are like that, you'd think they would recognize you by sight, and not to have to also relies on smell and sound. It's like when you have a cold and your voice is raspy, the cats will look at you wondering what did you do with their owner, you sure look like the owner but don't sound or smell like the owner.
She was very skittish at first and seemed not to know us but maybe it was becaause it was a house she had never been in before. But she was soon off exploring and ended up on DH's bed.
Barney 2.0 and I are off on another kitty transport tomorrow. It's a win-win: I get to visit my favorite part of the state (and weather should be gorgeous), and the cats get taken to a shelter that will give them a 2nd chance to find a good home. (Our shelter is too full and can't keep them, and they don't want to euthanize them just because there's no space.)
Rosie has been with us only 4 months now, and she is trying real hard to get us to yell at her, apparently her previous owner must have. Well, she has the wrong audience here as we just laugh :))
I'm trying to resist....not sure how well my male cat would do with another male in the house.
This morning Bruce had brought me a knee high nylon stocking.
I think he is almost over the biting, though! Maybe this was an exchange of behaviours.....which, honestly, I'll take the stealing over the biting.
Went to a friend's to get my hair cut yesterday, and took Bruce with me. I'd gotten him a nice long tie-out rope, but he sticks pretty close to me. Took him inside during the hair cutting, and tied him up inside too, just because I didn't want him going down into the basement (there's no door). Well, he kept getting tangled up in the furniture, but never complained - he just stops and sits down whenever the rope stops him from further exploration. Oh, except once, when he got all tangled up in the cables behind the TV. Then this one little cry came from the living room, just like, "Help!" He's a funny little dude.
On my respite today, BFF and I went to the park after swimming. We went to A&W on the way, but when I pulled the bag of fries out and offered some to her, the whole mess of them spilled on the ground! Boo!! We tried throwing them to the ducks, but they really didn't like them. Then a couple of ravens came by and started plucking up the ones the ducks didn't take. So I threw a few more to them. They were quite suspicious then! Or is that just the way ravens look all the time? Lol. And then a marmot came along for the rest of the fries. OMG so cute. Marmots are like gerbils with squirrel tails, lol. I wished I'd had something healthier to feed it....maybe next time I'll think to throw some veggies in the truck.
Uh, huh.
On the sixth try, I picked up my cat, opened the front door, and tossed him out. I ate my sandwich in peace, then got up and opened the door to let the cat back in. He scoots back in the door and immediately hops back on the table, looking for the sandwich. He walks up one end of the table and down again, a bewildered look on his face. "Where's that sandwich? It was just here a minute ago."
Mean Mommy, disappeared the whole sandwich while he was outside waiting for his share. :-(
Under the couch there are about 8 empty tp rolls, one of her favorite toys.😁
Luckily, I got him back inside fairly quickly. The screen door is now taped shut on both sides with duct tape! I hope that keeps it secure....but I do close the glass door whenever I'm not in the room. I REALLY hope he doesn't start picking at the screen itself!
I would have to be put in the psych ward if my dear, sweet, wayyyyyyy overly-confident kitten ever fell 6 floors off the balcony!
