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?
Send, keep raisins and mushrooms away from your cat too. In fact, there is a whole list of flowers online that should be avoided too. I know poinsettias are one of the plants on the list. Not sure of the others.
My kitties have their sweet unique ways too. My one cat is so happy to see me in the morning that when I'm sitting on the toilet he puts his front paws on my lap and rubs my cheek with his. Such a darling.
I don't know what to think about these kitty monsters that live in my house right now! ("Monsters" said with great love.) One of them, and I don't know which one, regularly poops outside litter box. The box is clean, the kitties have shared a home for 10+ years, why does one suddenly fancy to poop outside the box? I worry that I have an incontinent cat, the older one. This is fine with me... I don't care - much - about cleaning up the incidents that are happening all the time. It's easy enough to pick up after him (them?).
Just...
Well...
It doesn't even matter because they've both won me over, the little brats. We've established some precious routines that I wouldn't do without, like how Divo comes in to the bathroom to get his pets, how Delilah jumps onto the bed to get hers, how Divo will tell me there needs to be more wet food put down NOW, how Delilah is hidden somewhere, off in her independence all day, but when she's ready for cuddles then she doesn't stop with her insistence for them and she grabs my hand between her front paws to get her pets .
Do I sound like a gal in love with my cats? I think I am. They're such brats but such good company. They're great. I think we're right around the 6 week mark...? Not sure. They're so messy and big PITA but... I'm their human slave now. Hahah. :-)
Whatever did I do without them to look after?????????? They're huge brats but I like them so much.

FF. I know you like to turn the page and make it 100.
That was a fun game. But it was a coincidence.
Happy one year anniversary to the very fine posters on the Caregiver's Cats Behaving Badly.!
Auto-correction has gone blooey!
But dH and I both never wear perfumes, undocumented is our choice.
Will need to look up when the stitches come out, and if we return to the county animal control for that, or use the free vet visit certificate. Timing would be everything, or it is not free. Spaying surgery was Friday.
Most cats don't like the scented litter. Mine would think outside of the box any time I tried to switch over.
Wish I could find a clumping cat litter that doesn't stick and hardens on the cat's nails.
Send.....We have 1 of the cat litter "sifter trays".They are the best,but expensive to buy when you need 3or 4.We'll get 3 or 4 in time though.They say you're supposed to have 1 litter box per cat,,so really I'd need 5 though.
Oh, never give a cat chocolate, it will make them quite sick. And no milk. Milk is only for kittens and it would need to be Lactaid milk or milk one can buy at a pet food store.
I keep dry food out all day as cats like to graze. Lot of water around the house. I never use plastic bowls (plastic chemicals can ooze into the food), I use the Corelle type of bowls, so easy to clean.
My two cat use to drink water from the tap, but with all the rain we have had, the water service has added more chlorine to the water and the cats don't like that. Yep, we are now using bottled water. Not the jugs, as the jugs tend to have a plastic taste. The 16 oz bottles, instead.
My newest cat, Rosie [adopted her at 12 yrs old, still adjusting], like to have her bedding changed daily, but that isn't happening. Every other day I will refold her blanket to a clean side. She sheds a lot due to her breed.
Speaking of waste. Very happy with the "sifter" cat litter tray, and it was the budget minded choice. Had I known, maybe I would have had many more cats, like Luckylu!
Forgive you doesn't come into it. Cat is confident that you will learn.
She seems to be focused on training DH first. You are satisfactory (for a beginner) and Advanced Cat Care can wait. All in good time.
I said no, she did not do it, but will she forgive me for saying no?
This morning she is following dH around, they have already become fast friends. She doesn't know that he will never feed her, and wants me to take her kibble away.
Setting out the kibble, measured, seems ok to me. She is thin.
Having some trouble getting the house "pet-safe".
Sheesh, it is not even safe for me to walk down the hallway, as dH puts stuff there the minute I turn around. I thought I could do it, but he is resisting helping for some reason, and has scheduled two appointments for tomorrow, plus work.
The coolest place is in the bathroom, less than 70 degrees F. Ok then.
And yes Dorianne,my Bootsie eats potato chips,Cheeze it's,and Oreo's and ofcourse all the cats Love their butter.
Now that summer is here, I've discovered my "kitten," Bruce, has a passion for watermelon!
("Kitten" in quotations because he is a GIANT now, and still shy of 11 months old!)
Lu will give you a crash course
She has not done anything at all bad yet, because she has not come home from the shelter yet.
She is about a year old, is lively, a great personality, loves to be petted. And, calls out to me, meow!
Making the house pet safe now, and already shopped for everything on the list except a cat tree with a scratching post.
Wondering how long she will take to recover from being spayed.
Funny, all this time I am looking up how to care for cats for friends online, and now, I have so many unanswered questions. Fun!
I just learned that one of the kittens I had to give away to go live on a farm with his sister too,is now a ......FATHER!.....Apparently ,he misbehaved very badly and got an all white cat that lived there pregnant because all the kittens are black and white Tuxedo's just like him. I just can't believe it.The lady and I discussed getting them spayed and neutered as soon as possible and she said she was going to and she didn't.I have the other 3 kittens..They are only a year and 4 months old and if they had any now,it'd be like a baby having babies.My SIL told me the lady was going to send pictures....I just can't believe one of my kittens had kittens,Already.
