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?
Back then.
My kitty is trying to kill me? Lol.
Kitty loves the tiny rubber ducky toy.
Well, last night, all night, she did.
Go to sleep.
The search for just the right amount of food is still on for my 8 lb. 11 mo. old cat.
This is more complicated than I thought. Wanted to feed her kibbies, plus canned food.
She acts hungry. Very talkative. Has taken over the house, and now the bed too. We need her permission to walk down the hallway as she gets in and around our feet.
This is only day 4! She thinks she can use her claws on me! No! No! No!
CM, I can hear you laughing!
For a while Iv'e thought Odom was getting Cat Dementia.He just hasn't been himself.
He's gonna have to go to the vet and be checked out.
Thanks for gettn' him out Gershun~
Odom, come here Odom............get out of the poop box..............ODOM! COME HERE!
Did he hear me you think?
Don't suppose you've got any pompoms for her to kill instead..?
Very funny, CM! We were playing, and she won.
You are not your mother! Someone even wrote a book about it, so it must be true, Lol?
Gershun....flowers, plants....No problem. He don't send me flowers a n y m o r e .
That is why I now have k I t t y .
My mother would have clutched "poor" Kitty to her, glared at you, and demanded to know what you had done to upset her.
Me? Naughty Kitty! Look sorry!
Kitty got my middle finger, deep, blood is leaking out.
I have to say, though. In fifty years of almost continuous cat ownership, and God knows some of our darlings were a bit intellectually challenged to put it politely, I have never yet met a cat who was thick enough to go and stick its face into a bunch of lilies. Or chomp down any mushrooms, come to that.
Cats are pretty good at knowing what's good for them. Rest easy.
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!
