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?
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!
Oh, the best cat fun is the long sheet of brown kraft paper that comes in the Chewy box. You can roll on it, hide in it, and jump on it. It can be noisy but what fun they have with that paper :)
where a Schnauzer offers his advice from a 4 legged to all us 2 legged's.
I got a kick out of it and maybe you would too~
The"kittens"will be 3 years old Feb.20th and they still act just like they did at 6 weeks old..They do everything together,including getting into trouble too,but they are the light of my life and keep me going and I know they were Heaven sent to bring back my laughter and smile again after I lost Mom.
3 "kittens" and my 1 little dog are plenty along with my outside cats and the birds.
Still,I will always wonder what happened to my Bootsie and I sure miss her.
I just can't wait to get this cone off of him though not just for his sake but for mine. This supervising his eating and so on is driving me bonkers and my other cat is feeling neglected so I have to show him extra love too. It's become like a full time job.
I guess that this wasn't caught until he was a bit older and that is why the vet says no cure. When that happens you can only treat the symptoms and the symptoms from treatment.
Remember to feed the yogurt 2 hours either side of his meds. I would feed him as much as he will eat for a few days and then when he stops having the trots give him a few tablespoons on his daily meals.
It is not harsh at all. But it is a wonderful external issue solution.

Check em out. My little dog had to be surgically repaired after her foster mother let her run wild after being spayed!!! When I took her home, I meant business! I went out and got her a soft cone & a kennel and she was like new in short order. The soft cone is a lot more comfy, I think.
Worried I hear you about noise waking you up. Poor Daniel bangs into things constantly with this big cone he is wearing. I have tried to pull my furniture out more to accommodate him but when he is using the litter box etc. he gets caught between the door and the wall sometimes. Poor little thing.
I'll maybe try the witch hazel. I'm worried it may be too harsh for the area. It looks so sore.
This whole thing has me so stressed. I hate seeing him so upset and he looks at me with his big eyes like I'm punishing him or something by making him wear this cone. My hubs went so far as to order one of those onesie type things for him to maybe wear as an alternative. It has a cutout for his butt area obviously but I still foresee it getting poo and pee all over it. Yuck! I told him not to order it but he went ahead and did it anyway. I doubt it will work but when he picks it up we'll take it with us to the vet on Sunday and see what they say about it.
You are so knowledgeable about the care of animals. My little granddog is really having a time with his Cushing disease. He is 9 years old. He isn’t responding well to the meds. Poor baby. The vet explained if he gets too high of a dose it can kill him. So he is cautious with the dosage but the lower dose isn’t working well. 🙁
He’s having a reaction to the meds too, throwing up and diarrhea. I like this vet a lot. He was excellent with my schnauzer and my greyhound. This dog is a poodle.
So, I asked him if Cushing is common. He told me that it isn’t uncommon and he has seen several dogs with it.
So, I asked how the other dogs responded to the meds. He said that some needed a little time finding the right dosage but then did fine afterwards. There is no cure for Cushing but it can be managed with meds.
This little guy is struggling to find the right dosage and is having side effects on the meds that won’t go away. I am at a loss. My daughter is very upset. Have you ever sought a second opinion from a different vet for your dogs? Not sure what to do at this point.
I wish you well with your kitty. I have my daughter’s dog while she is busy with school and her internship details. Poor little guy has medical issues too so I have been doing vet visits.
There was a darling kitty that was in a large crate in the lobby area with a sign on it that read, “Free cat for loving home.” I was so tempted, an adorable calico about six months old. He looked so sweet. I had cats and dogs all of my life.
Problem is that I am allergic to cats, dogs too but the cat allergy is worse. I inquired about the cat anyway and explained to the office worker that I have severe reactions to some cats and mild to others. I read where that happens. We are allergic to the dander and saliva.
Anyway, the office worker wouldn’t let me hold the kitty saying that I should not tempt myself if I am allergic and shouldn’t own a cat again. I kind of pouted 🙁 and paid my vet bill and left. Do you think she should have let me hold the kitty? She may be right but this cat looked so sweet.
