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?
Those owning dogs and cats know about the cone of shame?
Well, my hubs made a cone of shame for the overhead ceiling fan, to prevent Tweety from getting up there.
There is only o n e bird, he is hanging by the mirror on a purse strap. Very active during the time we are watching bird videos.
Wondering if the squirrels will be coming back this year. If they are not fed, they relocate. I should not feed them.
Chloe is doing well.. thank goodness
Thank you so much!
Pamz, I was upset for you when I read what happened with the pills and the puppy. It sounded like the pup was going to be ok but I imagine you were holding your breath for the first 8 hours or so.
Maybe your mom can make a change to a snap-shut pill box so that this can't happen again. But also, I was thinking about how as my dad's need for medication increased, and I couldn't trust him to be accountable for what he had or hadn't taken, then I started doing 3 weekly 7-compartment pill boxes. That way, at a glance I would know what he had taken, and if a dose had been forgotten. Sounds like there hasn't been a great need for this with mom before, but maybe now you could introduce a weekly snap box type dispenser, with the excuse that it will keep meds away from the puppy... if this seems like a good idea for your situation.
I believe that Taco was Heaven sent to give Mother comfort and help her heal and when Mother got better,Taco's job was finished.
My dogs lived long lives and I adored them. Would love another pet but I can't go through having to put them down again. Plus my mother loves to find things to complain or worry about and it's just another thing to deal with and I don't need the additional stress.
I've had cats before too. Love them! I despise seeing birds in a cage or even fish in a tank. I love seeing birds fly in the open sky or fish in a large body of water. Never been fond of anything other than domestic animals for pets.
Old man cat knows, and knows why he cannot get in the bed.
You don't need to stay mad Ali. Give him lots of bedtime cuddles, a goodnight, and a special place for him, but not the bed.
Being strict is not mean.
Call me heartless, I don't care if he did it out of agitation and missing me. He poo'ed all over the bed!! ALL OVER IT, on the pillows, on everything. I changed the bed, took away the chair that allows him a middle-step access to the bed, and I'm hanging tough with my decision... though that inquisitive look he gives me daily does pull at my heart.
Am I a mean cat mom? Probably. I'm just mad at him still. What a punk.
They're so fun to be with and have brought me so much joy.
Today,to celebrate.We'll sing some songs and have some special cat treats and do the Beanie Baby Boogie they love so much along with some bubbles and catnip and make it a Birthday they'll never forget.
Happy Birthday to the kitties!
I got one of those glued-to-the-hip cats, he's old so he is probably feeling unsure of himself. Just wish he wouldn't tap my face in the middle of the night.... with his claws out !!!!
But he is so darn cute. :)
I guess you can't really blame them. I wouldn't want to eat my meals next to where I just had a poop! :P
Maybe, but a mystery to me. Whatever works!😽😽🐈
I need a cat whisperer. About five minutes ago I hear her running through the house with something stuck on her. Sounded like a grocery plastic bag, she is scared no doubt. But I cannot find her. Didn't know this house had somewhere that good to hide. Will look again in a bit.
This will help to keep the worst of his funk -- which really isn't all that terrible to begin with but he's just not a clean cat these days -- to a minimum.
Thank you for all your kind support.I really appreciate it.
