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?
all you kitty people may have some ideas for me.....we use our laundry room as the feeding space along with the litter box. We have a childproof gate to keep the dogs out, especially my little poodle who loves cat food and (gross) she will get into the litter box too. The kittens are barely squeezing through the bars on the gate. Tiger kitty would jump over the gate. How can I get the kittens to learn to jump over the gate? I have ordered a cat clicker to try to teach them with rewards. My fear is one of them will get stuck in the bars and we will have to use a saw to cut them out, lol!
in the meantime, these two kittens are so much fun, one loves to nibble on fingers and toes much to our golden retrievers mismay, he gentle brushes him away with his paw. The other kitten loves to rub against legs and toes, especially the toes of my slippers and he will literally just collapse onthe floor in front of your feet. Must watch where you step.
I hope everyone is getting along well with Covid and loving your crazy kitties.
Add a small section of wire fencing material to the gate bars.
Secure with a Zip tie.
Wait a few weeks and the kittens will be jumping over the gate.
You could also get a small cat tree (might want one sooner than later), place it near the gate.
Or, raise the gate a bit higher so they can go under, but too low for dog?
It won't be too long before Hocus and Pocus learn to use the clicker themselves.
This cat was staring into my sliding glass door this morning. Nah, this cannot be happening!
NOT my cat!
The kittens I rescued (years ago) climbed up the pet fencing at 8 wks. If allowed, they would have climbed over and dropped to the floor 4 ft. But their mama-cat and I were there to pull them off the fencing.
When you call a cat, the cat will take a message and get back to you later.
LOL!! That is so true! I always say, "Dogs have families. Cats has servants."
Absolutely!
Otherwise said, ‘We live with a cat. They don’t live with us.’ 😊
I love a cat’s independent spirit!
They can be free spirits. I will always remember a beautiful gray Siamese cat that would visit me daily.
He arrived around the same time everyday, and left about the same time each evening.
He would rub in and out on my legs. (Why do cats do that?)
He meowed as if to say, ‘Hello! I am here.’
Then he would jump up on my tall chest of drawers and just stare at me for a bit, then he took a nap.
He was a sweet cat. I knew that he was someone’s pet so I didn’t want to start feeding him but I did love his visits in the evening.
It was cute how he showed up at my backdoor. I would let him in. When he wanted to go back home, he walked over to the door and I let him out.
Isn’t it interesting that even domestic animals still sometimes follow their instincts and roam around as if they were wild cats roaming in the jungle?
Our ginger does better with a female cat. The last one we had, he use to call for her and the two of them would head out some place in the house. I could hear my sig-other saying around midnight to her "And where are you going at this hour, young lady?"
Kittens are so much fun to watch. Extremely playful!
I agree with you on the cuddling. All they want is to be loved.
They deserve our love and attention. They warm our hearts so much!
Sat. and Sunday, she came by and stayed awhile.
Guess I will feed anyone or anything that comes to my door.
How could I say, "No"? 🐱
"Not my Cat" has breached the door threshold and came inside from the cold, wind, and for some food. It was really hungry, and was left outside by it's owner, a neighbor. Cat is said to have cancer, and on it's last legs.
Dh is very kind about it, but leaves the room.
I will need to reach out to the owner, see if it needs help with medical care, or will let it live with someone else if they cannot care for it inside. Needs hospice for cats. 😢😥

What about cats?
🙀😹🙀😹
My daughter’s dog destroyed her remote control! He chewed it to pieces. He has plenty of toys but for some reason he decided to chew on the remote.
RIP, another precious animal, God's creature. 🐈
We named her Samy before we knew who the owner was.
She was welcome here, to rest and to eat.
It becomes obvious to me now when they are ready, and someone needs to make the sad decision.
I have been very sad.
And sad too, for Midget.
SharynMarie's dog who just passed. Midget was her mother's dog.
It's sweet, really, to learn they're much more active than I thought. I usually see them lazing around.
Cats are nocturnal by nature. My cat was active at night but would snooze during the day.
She would tear up my Christmas tree after we went to bed!
Those were the days when satin ornaments were in vogue and I would walk downstairs in the morning to find tons of satin strings all over the living room.
I saw how she did it. She was on her back and clawed the ornament with all four paws until she stripped away all of the satin.
