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?
Have the ducklings hatched yet?
Interested to find out about them.
My kittens are 9 months old now. They are so much fun. Hokus and Pokus love to play with cat springs I get from Amazon. We have a cat tent they love playing as well. The tent was originally to be used as a secure place to put the kittens outside in the shade. They literally shredded one corner of the mesh windows and got out in 45 minutes. So use it only in the house now. We live in an area where birds of prey fly over from spring to fall so we don’t let them outside.
we also have a female mallard duck that decided to make a nest in our front flower bed. She has 11 eggs. The kittens will get in the window and watch the duck. Hopefully the eggs will hatch in another couple weeks. From what I understand, this mama duck or her ducklings will come back year after year to nest. I’m undecided at this time if I want this to be a yearly thing. I may have to rearrange my flower bed. It’s not her nesting that has me undecided, it’s once the ducklings hatch, she will be leading them back and forth all summer from the nest to water daily. It makes it hard to garden with them here. I need to decide what to do.
Your black kitty is very cute! I like his golden eyes.
I'm trying the new cat broth out mixed in with his wet food the past few feedings. I'm not sure he's a fan. lol Time will tell.
I'm going to try some plain canned pumpkin, too. That's easy enough.
Pumpkin is more into food than treats. They both eat the dry food I leave out, I use Japanese sweet potato because that is what the store that delivers has, and they like it. If I can't get that I'm not sure what I will use. Carrots might work and they are always available, or other sweet potatoes, or squash.
Thank for the suggestion to add water. I think it was ff who passed that tip on. I believe it is good for them.
Hope the gravy works!
Any time I am home during the day, he and I do this little dance where he comes and hangs out by his food bowl and just... waits. Or if I come in from being out, he goes right to the kitchen and his food bowl. I give him wet food at least 2x a day. He licks it dry or eats part of it, then ignores it. I stir the food again several times a day and try to get him to eat what's in the bowl instead of begging for new fresh food... which he would maybe then eat a few bites of and ignore again.
I've thought about getting cat-food gravy, as a topper to get him to eat more of the food. I think he'd just lick the gravy, though, then ignore it until I put more out.
He's keeping me entertained lately. I swear he's more finicky than ever. It's a nice distraction from problems with roommate and some mild-but-annoying vaccine reaction the past few days.
Anyone ever use gravy for every meal with their cat? I see recipes online. Doesn't seem hard to make I just need the time... and who knows if he'll eat it. lol
I know that you will be happy when she goes off on her merry way!
My cat would curl up in the small of my back in my bed. She was so warm and cozy.
When I married my husband he said that he didn’t want her sleeping with us.
She was the sweetest love bug.
They're the light of my life and my little best friends.
I call them my "Girlsies" or "Darlin's" most the time.
I get the biggest kick watching them with their antics.
They're just SO dear.
Life would be super boring without them FF,you're right~
One's on the mantle and one's running up and down the hall and the other one is in my john trying to get a mouse she thinks is there.
Some mornings when I get up,I find all the cabinet doors open and they've been going through everything in the night.
They have a good time while I'm crashed out every night~
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.
It's sweet, really, to learn they're much more active than I thought. I usually see them lazing around.
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.
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.

What about cats?
"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. 😢😥
