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?
Now,if we can just keep Bootsie inside until she gets spayed on May 17th.No more litters here for us~
We live right in the middle of town,not a rural area and a bunch of possum babies are in our garage and 1 big one we know of.We just have 1 trap set but no luck yet.It's probably too small.Animal Control lends them out but don't have any in at this time.We'll have to buy a new bigger one I guess.I just wish they'd leave.I sure quit setting out food for my stray cats at night.It was terrible timing for this to happen with Bootsie loosing 2 of her babies too.I'm just so thankful,because it sure could have been a lot worse.
Tiger is stocking a gopher hole in the backyard. He lays by the hole for hours until it gets too hot, then he seeks shade under myclimbing roses. One year he caught 13 gophers in our neighborhood. Now he is only allowed in our backyard supervised.
They were brought up to have fun. Hope their new home is great!
I know you will miss them, and their mother too.
How are Precious-dog and Odem-cat getting along with the kittens?
If you are keeping them, will you be introducing them soon? There is more hard work for you, and I am sure you can handle it, but that wil be stressful for the Mama-Cat, Bootsie. I don't know how you do it.
Maybe someone knows how to make the introductions, or looking it up online may help.
Love from Send.
My little all black kitty was sure misbehaving some time in the night because when I went in this morning,there it was asleep on one of Mother's beautiful dresses it had pulled down somehow.Hand painted velvet was this kittie's choice of all dresses,maybe because it has sparkles.They love those hanging dresses....One of their favorite games is to jump to one and swing and then drop to the floor and do it again, kinda like monkey's swinging on a chandileer.They are something else!!!...And now in about an hour I take them all to the vet for their 8 week booster shots...I sure hope they behave there and back~
When I was away at boarding school the principal had a big orange cat who spent his time round her neck. She would often let me wear him as I was animal crazy.
I had not seen her for a day or two and was wondering if she had become a snack for a larger animal. She was quite on my mind.
Last night, I slept with the windows open and at 5:AM, I heard her delicate cry. I called out to her from the second floor window and she responded. We went back and forth several times and I swear, she actually said "help". It came out as "meowelp" but we all know it was "help".
I quickly donned my robe and ran downstairs to find that, no it was not sweet Matilda but rather Sebastian, who had been imitating Matilda's voice, asking me to let him in the back door... because it was raining and if he walked 20 feet to the pet door to let himself in, he would have gotten wet.
BTW, Matilda showed up later, unscathed.
Now I have Odom who was the neighbor's cat that wants to live here instead of there.He's a Huge,old Tabby.
And Bootsie,The best MaMa cat in the world who's asleep now with her 5 beautiful Tuxedo kittens.
I have only had one cat in my life that was difficult. His name was Sassy Simon, a Siamese cat. To be honest, this cat would not have had a home that loved him like we did. He would swat at you as you walked pasted him. One time (very funny because my mom was such a difficult person), he swatted at my mother's head because she was sitting on the couch with her head to the back rest where he liked to lay to sleep!! My mom yelled out, "he hit me!!!" I never had problems with Simon, he loved me and knew I loved him. I don't think others would have put up with his shenanigans.

I noticed on one day as I let the dogs out a side door that there were feathers... and blood... I'm sure left by Cuddles as her mark of bringing back her trophy to show, before she did *whatever* with it. I didn't bother to clean it up. But then every time I let the dogs out, I would see that, and think "poor birdie." lol
The cat is only doing what comes natural to her, and bro and SIL worry about a coyote getting to her, which happened to their last cat, and has happened to some of their neighbor's dogs... So I figure it's all a natural cycle happening out there that I won't judge. I'm still not cleaning it up, either. XD
