We have been using a 24-hour animal ER, as usual the cats will need medical attention on the weekends.... [sigh]. This morning took one cat in as she wasn't feeling well and noticeably had lost weight. Bravo, easy fix, she has hyperthyroid problem. Easy fix with pills. She wasn't real cooperative with the Staff, to which I mentioned that's probably from her dementia. As in the past, she use to be very cooperative. Vet said she was pretty feisty for a cat of 16.
A decade ago I had a cat that her primary vet said there were signs of dementia. And sure enough, this current cat is doing the same identical thing. Yet, the other cats I have had up into their late teens didn't show any signs of memory issues. Not even their litter mates.
I use one claw to gently poke my dear friend. She knows when I need my head scratched, want food or want out. Ususally I go outside for a couple hours before I come in to eat breakfast. This annoying dog barks every time I come in the house or into a room she is at with my dear friend. I really hate this dog but I tolerate her because my friend makes sure she does not get too close to me. In the evening I come in to stay for the night, eat my dinner and wait for my friend to come to bed. When she comes to bed, she snuggles me, scratches my head and pets my all over. I purr and lick her hand and arms. If she stops to soon, I use my front paw to tap her hand to scratch me more.
Midgets daily routine
I am a small poodle and this is my domain. I guard my human friend who loves me and I am loyal to her like that.... c a t, but I am better because I am a dog. I bark at the c a t because I don't want him near my friend. He gets attention that I should be getting. I follow my friend everywhere in the house. When I need to go outside, I bark by the door. I have my friend trained to let me out, to play fetch with me and to feed me, yet.... she stills gives attention to that c a t. While I tolerant this c a t, there is this human man who lives here too. I bark and bark at him but he won't go away. I don't much like him even though he gives me treats and pets me. He wants attention from my friend and it makes me angry. I will steal his hats sometimes and hide them. I don't like to share and dont understand why my friend continues to have this c a t and human man. I don't see their purpose. I am hearing stuff about us moving away from here. I hope it is just me and my friend.
But good for you for taking good care of your kitty. Hope your hand gets better.
Oh yeah, speaking of weight, your cat is shaped like a bowling ball and weighs as much. One of my cats is shaped like a medicine ball and feels like he weighs as much LOL
Went to Urgent Care as 90% of cat bites can cause an infection. But I wasn't worried about myself, I was worried that the bite would be reported and the cat would need to leave to be placed in quarantine.
I've been the cats only caregiver during this stroke recovery where she re-learned to walk again, the walk isn't graceful but it gets her from point A and B. I was the one who would carry her to her food dish and hold her while she ate so she wouldn't fall over... same with the litter box.... carry her up and down the stairs. Not easy, as she is shaped like a bowling ball and weights just as much.
Bravo, the doctor found the form I filled out and shredded it, no need to worry. Whew. Now I am taking antibiotics the size of horse pills for the next ten days, and my hand aches big time.
Your cat experiences will help you express all the love that is in your heart...you need that.
Sorry Bootsie is not up to speed yet. Is there a free post-surgical check-up with the spaying? Temperature taken?
Hot skin? Any signs of infection?
The other day I saw a baby sparrow trying out his wings for the first time... poor guy wasn't sure what to do... he was in hummingbird mode trying to keep from falling. Then he would land on the lawn, and try to fly again... once again doing the hummingbird. Then within a couple of minutes he was flying off trying to catch up with one of his parents. Amazing how quickly animals can learn to do things.
Other times, a goldfish likes to float on top of the water, never stopping to say goodbye. When raising a child, you are stuck with three heartwrenching choices:
1) Do you ceremoniously bury it in the back yard?
2) Do you secretly replace it with a new one the same size?
or
3) Do you flush it down the toilet and get a dog?
Where does he put this apple?..... he jumps onto the Jeep parked in the driveway and puts the half apple either on the windshield, the cargo rack, or jams it into the door handle. One day he shoved it into the front grill. Now, how cool is it to drive down the street with an apple in your grill :)
Fishes, but I cant picture them misbehaving LOL
C A R E G I V E R S D O G S B E H A V I N G B A D L Y
My cat is not misbehaving but the dog is!! As soon as I sit down on the couch whether after work or when I first wake up, she starts barking at me thinking oh boy!!!, it's play time, oh boy oh boy, bark, bark bring me her favorite toy to play fetch!! This dog momma has been too tired the last few days to want to play, lol!!
