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?
You all must share ALOT of love and great times.
My 3 cats change their favorite spots all the time.Last,they were all on the bathroom counter,but now their favorite spot is under the Christmas tree.They just love it.
He sounds so cute! Your cat has an adorable personality.
Lucky,
A real tree? My cat jumped in our real tree! Hahaha
I recently heard a news story of a baby koala being in a tree! They had to call a rescue group to get him out. Crazy, huh?
Some cats will let others pet them and others won’t.
I don’t want to feed him because he is someone’s pet.
Rocky likes the opposite end of the sofa to me or the back of the sofa. They both come for cuddles but aren't lap cats. Recently Rocky has taken Pumpkin's spot sometimes, and sometimes they share it. If sun shines through from the dining room Rocky settles in that spot, They are so different.
Your cats sound so sweet!
Now I want a cat again. I can’t. I am highly allergic. I promised my allergist not to get another one after my last one died.
Plus, after putting my last dog down, I felt like I can’t ever go through that pain again.
My heart wants another cat or dog though. My head tells me, ‘Don’t do it!’
I have thought about fostering but I know that I would bond with them and end up adopting them.
I have since replaced those blinds with wooden ones with wider slats so the cats can't break them. I keep them open all the time.
need - there are non allergenic cats but that doesn't take care of the pain of losing them eventually.
What kind of cats would I not be allergic to? My allergist didn’t mention these. That’s interesting!
Allergies are so weird. I know that they are hereditary. My dad had a cat allergy too.
But you are onto something because I do get severe reactions to some cats more than others.
One of my friends had a cat that as soon as I walked in her house I started sneezing!
Other cats weren’t as bad.
It’s strange. They say it is the dander that we are allergic to, not the fur.
I tried the shots but I got a systemic reaction to the injections and landed in the emergency room.
I nearly died. I had a rash all over. The inside is my ears started itching like crazy. My throat started closing up and I struggled to breathe. They kept me overnight in the hospital and gave me an IV with steroids.
My allergist would not let me to continue to do the shots to achieve becoming desensitized to the allergens.
In the mornings, if we aren't up by 7:30 a.m. and he come into our rooms and demand we get up. Couple times after I get up to use the bathroom, I will climb back into bed..... during my climb back into bed, Jesse will grab my foot trying to keep me from getting back into that bed !!
Today I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't catch my breath. You know those desks that are used with computers, they have this round hole on the top where one can place through telephone and computer wires? Well, I have one of those desk but no wires going though that hole.... I didn't know it but Jesse was under the desk, next thing I saw was his paw reaching up through that hole which startled me, and he was trying to reach for whatever was on the desk.
I heard never leave a cat alone for over 24 hours.... those who have a cat will understand why =^..^=
Our animals can tell time. My dog would wait in the foyer for my kids to come home from school.
He absolutely knew that was the time that the school bus would drop them off.
Don't worry, Tweety, it has shipped, and is only 50 miles away.
He has food, running out, but he is tapping his dish because it is not what he is used to, and changing his food abruptly causes stomach upset. I messed up!
Poor Tweety!
It is not like giving a dog chicken and rice if you run out.
Or chicken livers for a cat.
However, he has some spinach and lettuce to tide him over. Or, I could sort through seed by seed from the used seed I saved for the outside birds to forage. My bad.
Tweety can tell time, too. It does not matter if he can see the sun come up and his cage is covered. Or at night, when the sun goes down, he knows.
My kitties have touchy stomachs. Pumpkin will eat nearly anything but she gets the runs and is a mess to clean up so I restrict her. Even a different type of dry cat food can do it. Rocky OTOH restricts herself and only eats kittie treats and dry cat food. She turns her nose up at wet cat food and human food. I think they both can tolerate a little cooked white fish but its not worth the trouble.
I just saw him over there, foraging. That is a good activity for a bird.
Isn't it funny, how animals can be as much as a picking eater as us?
I had my Socks baby for 16 yrs. She didn't like human food nor did she like wet cat food, but she sure loved dead flies, and fresh crickets! She would play with the cricket until she was ready to eat it. I always hated the crunching sound...yuck! Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. But it made her happy and that was good enough for me!🐈🪰
Yes, dH is the pickiest eater I ever met!
Here I am, sorting the seeds now, one by one. The shipment has not arrived.
Thankfully he like the Sheba containers of cat food, and he does eat dry cat food. But his water bowl, the water needs to be up to a certain height.... otherwise he will pull the bowl out so you will notice or step in it. He also does that when one of his dry food bowls is empty.
I tell ya, sometimes it is easier to just give in than try to change a cat !!
Yah, gotta love cats. In fact my one kitty is so smart, when he wants food he climbs onto the book shelf or the kitchen counter or whatever and knocks stuff onto the floor. I learned the other night to never leave a glass half full of water on the kitchen counter cause I was startled out of sleep by the sound of breaking glass.
The little buggers!
Slightly spoiled? Hahaha 🤣
I want to be one of your cats! LOL
I have one who pulls the water bowl till it spills so I put it in the shower stall in the basement bathroom. She can spill all she wants there. I don't think that's where they drink from anyway! 🙄
My two don't jump onto the kitchen counter, thankfully. All my other cats have. These are smallish. One could but doesn't. She can jump onto the downstairs bathroom counter but only does when I am there. The other can't. She is a little round in the middle and can't lift off lol. 🐈🐈
My dog was mom’s best friend. Mom dearly missed him when we had to put him down.
We form such a deep bond with our fur babies!
