My cat loves playing with hair ties , sort of like rubber bands I guess.
I was commenting to a friend that I was thinking of buying some 5 gallon buckets to store my dahlias, cannas and other tender bulbs over the winter and she mentioned the pails from her kitty litter are about that size and with 4 cats she has more than she can ever use herself. Wow!!! - they have lids, they are rectangular so they use space more efficiently than round ones, and they stack too.... I'm flabbergasted thinking that thousands of these wonderful pails must be going to the landfill every week!
I miss having a cat or dog. I am glad that my daughter brings over her dog. We love spending time with him.
Pam,
Your DD’s dog has a spunky personality! The little dogs at the dog park are always barking at the bigger dogs. The small dogs crack me up.
At my daughter's house until Wednesday when movers will deliver my stuff.
Poor Ming! 😞 Is she still playing with rubber bands? She sounds like such a playful kitty.
I kept one bag for her when I went to the store. I would lay it sideways and sure enough, she would hide out in there. It was her personal hideaway tent!
My dog would occasionally slide across my kitchen floor after I mopped too.
Saw on another thread that Merlin-cat has passed over the rainbow bridge.
So very sorry for your loss.
Wanted the other pet and cat lovers to hear the sad news.
way - I get that- Sometimes they just want to know that you will...
lu - so happy trouble is out of trouble and no more pain for her.
Trouble was supposed to get two teeth pulled but she had to have five taken instead,so she was sore for a few days but now,a week later,she's back to herself.
Trouble's out of trouble now.
I'm so glad~
You’re so very welcome. It is a pleasure to chat with you. I very much appreciate your prayers!
I had to take breaks between pets too. It is so hard to lose them.
It is hard with pets cause we know most of the time we'll outlive them. After Hen is gone I think I'll take a break from pets for at least a year, maybe longer. To be honest, I'm still grieving Henrick's brother who died almost two years ago. I don't deal with loss easily.
newbie - That's a lot of loss. (((((hugs)))) to you too. Glad you have your orange kitty now. My kitty, though small, has Maine Coon genes too. She follows me around the house and chirps and trills and "talks" to me. They are such lovely companions!
The hardest thing about having pets is they just don't live long enough. However, I wouldn't trade one moment with any of them to stop the pain of losing them.
May you have peace and comfort during this time.
He loves you! You have been a wonderful and loving mom to him.
I've made peace with the fact that he won't be here very much longer. I'll love him as much as I can in the meantime. He slept on my lap for a while tonight and was having kitty nightmares I think. He woke up with a start and when he realized he was back home I could see the relief on his little face. Poor little guy.
Thx for all the prayers guys!
I cried like a baby every time I lost one of mine too. We can’t help it because they truly are part of our family.
So very sorry about the loss of your beloved fur baby. It’s devastating.
Our pets bring us so much joy. All they want is to be loved. Some of our animals are nicer than the humans that we know! 😊
My last cat lived to be 16. My brother had a cat that lived to be over 20 years old. He was solid black. Mine was striped.
I have had many cats since childhood, all colors but I have never had a solid white or solid black cat. My neighbor had a beautiful white Persian cat.
Will pray for your kitty. He sounds so sweet.
