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?
Otherwise, he seems ok, not in pain but acting more quiet and timid, which is unusual for him.
I think it may be the start of his decline. And as long as he's ok and in decent spirits, I'll just monitor the situation.
I just scheduled a mobile grooming bath for both cats next Wednesday. The bill is outrageous but what's a cat-mom to do..?
I wonder if I can do some kind of bath at home for him every other month. Just plop him in a basin of soapy water and massage it in..? I can try, but I'm not looking forward to it.
Once she recovered from the stroke, which was pretty quick, she was able to walk into the bathroom to get a wipe down. I thought that was pretty smart of her :)
So he's a dirty kitty. He can't seem to, or doesn't want to, keep himself clean. His fur gets oily and matted if I don't brush him, and lots of dandruff and dander and all that.
I wasn't able to get him a bath this year due to covid restrictions but kept trying and finally got appointment and took him back to PetSmart today, where they've bathed him before.
They wouldn't do it today! I took him in, waited 35 minutes past appointment time before he was even seen, and then they decided they wouldn't do the bath because of his age.
I was so looking forward to having a clean kitty, but I accept their decision. Now I'm searching for another groomer. I asked the vet and got a referral to someone who does housecall grooming for 4x the price, but that's ok since it's such a necessary thing for him and it's only once a year.
I can't wait to have a clean cat. :-) He hates the baths but he will be more comfortable when it's done, not scratching himself as much.
You know the character Pigpen from Charlie Brown comics, how he always has dirt and fleas coming off of him..? Kind of like my cat, who has bits of hair and floof dangling off him as he walks around the house, despite my weekly brushings.
I tried dry shampoo, didn't seem to help, made it worse actually. And I can't imagine how much he'd hate me and seek revenge if I tried to bathe him in the tub myself.
Dirty, DIRTY kitty... he's a character. He did ok with the car ride today, I was surprised. Last year he yowled non stop from start to finish.

Tweety sounds pretty smart! We all want that. Give Tweety a thumbs up 👍 from me!
I am taking down a picture of my loved one who died,
and his cat, that died just 40 days later. I will not forget them.
It may seem heartless to some, but I am putting up pictures of people who are alive today, and who do not bring up any more sad memories. It will remind me to pray for my grandchildren daily.
There has already been too much sadness in the year 2020.
My personal losses were recent, and I am sad today.
Tweety has been getting on my finger more, so he can be lifted up higher to see his bird videos up close. Then he walked up my hand, arm, to my shoulder. This happens only once in awhile.
So cute!
Youtube has been acting up, and no longer works on the T.V. Roku.
So I have to share my chromebook with Tweety more. He is becoming addicted! And demanding a bit.....squawks if I don't get his video right away. 🐦
You've got Gershun, and so many are praying for a good outcome!
I know how much you love him,just like I love mine too and it hurts us when they hurt.
I'll sure be thinking of you on Friday,Take good care in the meantime Gershun~
I know this is supposed to be a fun thread but prayers are always welcome.
Just realized I have never heard this cat hiss.🙀
"What is with all these humans wearing muzzles?"
Did they bite someone?
Remembering, Ratatouille, the squirrel I fed for a season, then the cat came and the squirrel moved away. Then the cat was moved to it's forever home. It was then, after having made that sacrifice, that Tweety showed up outside on my block wall, then moving in. Truly God-sent, all the pets I need. 🐿🐈🐦
I had a cat name Socks and she loved to talk. She would come up to me and meow and I would say, "Really, you don't say!" She would start meowing more and I would tell her "Well, tell mommy all about it." And she would! My family and friends would laugh because it was like we were having a conversation. I have no idea what she was talking about the whole 16 yrs of her little life! God, I miss her...she was funny and a wonder in my life!!
I imagine Daniel and you doing the same thing! 🐈💭💗
I dated a guy who had a cat that when the cat meow it sound like he was saying no. You could ask the cat any question and he would say no. It was very funny!
