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?
Mason jars are great for so many things. Quite durable too!
Me too. I up cycle jars as well.
Recently my workplace was getting rid of glass mason jars with handles on them. They were drinking mugs that were replaced. I took a case of them home and tried to give them to neighbors and roommates, but no takers. I kept four and donated the rest. Now I wish I'd kept at least six. lol It's hard to strike just the right balance on the spectrum from hoarding to only keeping things that are useful. I find having less space to store stuff helps prioritize.
I am all about multi purpose items. It saves money to up cycle new life into old items that would be otherwise discarded.
It’s certainly not a new concept. Our grandparents up cycled many things. Necessity is the mother of invention!
Good for you for up cycling the kitty litter containers.
My cat loves playing with hair ties , sort of like rubber bands I guess.
I was commenting to a friend that I was thinking of buying some 5 gallon buckets to store my dahlias, cannas and other tender bulbs over the winter and she mentioned the pails from her kitty litter are about that size and with 4 cats she has more than she can ever use herself. Wow!!! - they have lids, they are rectangular so they use space more efficiently than round ones, and they stack too.... I'm flabbergasted thinking that thousands of these wonderful pails must be going to the landfill every week!
I miss having a cat or dog. I am glad that my daughter brings over her dog. We love spending time with him.
Pam,
Your DD’s dog has a spunky personality! The little dogs at the dog park are always barking at the bigger dogs. The small dogs crack me up.
At my daughter's house until Wednesday when movers will deliver my stuff.
Poor Ming! 😞 Is she still playing with rubber bands? She sounds like such a playful kitty.
I kept one bag for her when I went to the store. I would lay it sideways and sure enough, she would hide out in there. It was her personal hideaway tent!
My dog would occasionally slide across my kitchen floor after I mopped too.
Saw on another thread that Merlin-cat has passed over the rainbow bridge.
So very sorry for your loss.
Wanted the other pet and cat lovers to hear the sad news.
way - I get that- Sometimes they just want to know that you will...
lu - so happy trouble is out of trouble and no more pain for her.
Trouble was supposed to get two teeth pulled but she had to have five taken instead,so she was sore for a few days but now,a week later,she's back to herself.
Trouble's out of trouble now.
I'm so glad~
You’re so very welcome. It is a pleasure to chat with you. I very much appreciate your prayers!
I had to take breaks between pets too. It is so hard to lose them.
It is hard with pets cause we know most of the time we'll outlive them. After Hen is gone I think I'll take a break from pets for at least a year, maybe longer. To be honest, I'm still grieving Henrick's brother who died almost two years ago. I don't deal with loss easily.
newbie - That's a lot of loss. (((((hugs)))) to you too. Glad you have your orange kitty now. My kitty, though small, has Maine Coon genes too. She follows me around the house and chirps and trills and "talks" to me. They are such lovely companions!
The hardest thing about having pets is they just don't live long enough. However, I wouldn't trade one moment with any of them to stop the pain of losing them.
May you have peace and comfort during this time.
