"Not My Cat" was taken to vet on Thursday.
RIP, another precious animal, God's creature. 🐈

We named her Samy before we knew who the owner was.
She was welcome here, to rest and to eat.
It becomes obvious to me now when they are ready, and someone needs to make the sad decision.

I have been very sad.

And sad too, for Midget.
SharynMarie's dog who just passed. Midget was her mother's dog.

My daughter found a dog park to take her Husky to. So, he will burn off some of his energy there now instead of in her apartment!

I don’t have a bad cat story but I do have a bad dog story.

My daughter’s dog destroyed her remote control! He chewed it to pieces. He has plenty of toys but for some reason he decided to chew on the remote.

I have 3 cats, a male ginger, a female black and white, and a female rag doll cat. Male ginger is 4, black and white 5 and my ragdoll is 6. My rag doll is the “kitten” out of all of them. She loves to play. Also if she hears me crying (over my mother) she runs over to me to get my attention to get in my face to give me kisses. She loves to headbutt me too. She will headbutt my forehead. She’s the sweetest thing ever. I call her my “therapy cat “.

Pam,
"Not my Cat" has breached the door threshold and came inside from the cold, wind, and for some food. It was really hungry, and was left outside by it's owner, a neighbor. Cat is said to have cancer, and on it's last legs.

Dh is very kind about it, but leaves the room.

I will need to reach out to the owner, see if it needs help with medical care, or will let it live with someone else if they cannot care for it inside. Needs hospice for cats. 😢😥

Oh boy Send.. just say NO!! I am the current caregiver of a feral "colony" that my hubs feels the need to feed! 5 are living in my garage where he put up several cat houses, and about 7 more live on our back deck and in the shed.. and we live in the country! He is a softy when it comes to cats.. and let me tell you that they are all (females ) preggers again.. We go through about 2 large bags of cat food every 3 weeks. I reached out for help from all the tip me places.. I don;t mind getting them "fixed" but they need you to trap them... and I simply cant. And during mating season the smell is terrible in the garage

This "Not my cat" came by to eat for 6 days. Then, found it's owner.
Sat. and Sunday, she came by and stayed awhile.
Guess I will feed anyone or anything that comes to my door.
How could I say, "No"? 🐱

I couldn’t believe it! My 20 year old cat was running around chasing a laser beam like a kitten! I didn’t even know he still played. I bought this automatic rotating laser cat toy for the 7 year old but my 20 year old was having all the fun 🤩

Sharyn,

Kittens are so much fun to watch. Extremely playful!

I agree with you on the cuddling. All they want is to be loved.

They deserve our love and attention. They warm our hearts so much!

Nhwm, my kitties are almost 8 months old. Typical cat style, they roam the house at night since their natural tendency is to be nocturnal. They run and play throughout the house for about 5 hours in the morning. I do have to keep an eye on my house plants as they will knock them off furniture and play in the potting soil. Hokus especially is an escape artist sneaking out the back door. We are looking into screening in our patio so they have the extra outdoor space to watch birds, get sun/shade and fresh air. They are so much fun and give so much back in cuddles.

Yesterday we were at the animal shelter looking at the cats. Oh my gosh, there was this big ginger male cat who decided to flirt with me. Then when I had my back to his cage [he had an upper condo], I felt him swishing my hair back and forth with his paw. He was quite the goof-ball. I wanted to take him home, but he was only 4 years old and chances are our 10 year old male ginger wouldn't be happy with another male in the house.

Our ginger does better with a female cat. The last one we had, he use to call for her and the two of them would head out some place in the house. I could hear my sig-other saying around midnight to her "And where are you going at this hour, young lady?"

FF,

Absolutely!

Otherwise said, ‘We live with a cat. They don’t live with us.’ 😊

I love a cat’s independent spirit!

They can be free spirits. I will always remember a beautiful gray Siamese cat that would visit me daily.

He arrived around the same time everyday, and left about the same time each evening.

He would rub in and out on my legs. (Why do cats do that?)

He meowed as if to say, ‘Hello! I am here.’

Then he would jump up on my tall chest of drawers and just stare at me for a bit, then he took a nap.

He was a sweet cat. I knew that he was someone’s pet so I didn’t want to start feeding him but I did love his visits in the evening.

It was cute how he showed up at my backdoor. I would let him in. When he wanted to go back home, he walked over to the door and I let him out.

Isn’t it interesting that even domestic animals still sometimes follow their instincts and roam around as if they were wild cats roaming in the jungle?

FF,
LOL!! That is so true! I always say, "Dogs have families. Cats has servants."

When you call a dog, they come.

When you call a cat, the cat will take a message and get back to you later.

Pets in general, similar to children....do train there owners, parents. We learn to realize that especially as parents. As pet parents we may take longer. I can say this, my kitties know if I click my tongue, to come. I could probably scream till red faced and my children tended to ignore meLOL! I had to be much firmer with my children. I must admit, I’d rather be softer with my kitties now that I’m older. They are my babies

Send, Pokus, the more confident kitty jumped the gate immediately and his brother, Hokus, started jumping over yesterday! Thanks again, solved my concern very quickly!

You are welcome Sharyn.
The kittens I rescued (years ago) climbed up the pet fencing at 8 wks. If allowed, they would have climbed over and dropped to the floor 4 ft. But their mama-cat and I were there to pull them off the fencing.

Send , thank you so much! I didn’t think about that!! I will definitely do that. I did buy a c,icker but it is a bit different training cats than dogs. It can be done, but it’s very different, requires much more consistency and patience. Thank you again. ❤️💕

Hello Kitty!
This cat was staring into my sliding glass door this morning. Nah, this cannot be happening!
NOT my cat!

Sharyn,
Add a small section of wire fencing material to the gate bars.
Secure with a Zip tie.

Wait a few weeks and the kittens will be jumping over the gate.

You could also get a small cat tree (might want one sooner than later), place it near the gate.

Or, raise the gate a bit higher so they can go under, but too low for dog?

It won't be too long before Hocus and Pocus learn to use the clicker themselves.

I haven’t listed here in a long time...I lost my Tiger Kitty in October 2020, he was 18, had cancer leukemia. I adopted two 9 week old kittens, brothers. I named them Hokus and Pokus. They are the best kitties, so loving, cuddly and playful.

all you kitty people may have some ideas for me.....we use our laundry room as the feeding space along with the litter box. We have a childproof gate to keep the dogs out, especially my little poodle who loves cat food and (gross) she will get into the litter box too. The kittens are barely squeezing through the bars on the gate. Tiger kitty would jump over the gate. How can I get the kittens to learn to jump over the gate? I have ordered a cat clicker to try to teach them with rewards. My fear is one of them will get stuck in the bars and we will have to use a saw to cut them out, lol!

in the meantime, these two kittens are so much fun, one loves to nibble on fingers and toes much to our golden retrievers mismay, he gentle brushes him away with his paw. The other kitten loves to rub against legs and toes, especially the toes of my slippers and he will literally just collapse onthe floor in front of your feet. Must watch where you step.

I hope everyone is getting along well with Covid and loving your crazy kitties.

We are dogsitting our DDs 4 lb chihuahua.. and neither she or our 17 lb Chug are "dog socialized" as they say.. both used to being the only baby in the house even thought our Chug chloe has been around Bella since 8 weeks. They have been "socially distancing " since Bella got here.. but at least no big issues. Laying on opposite ends of the couch, letting each other eat ( with some help) But I am sleeping in Moms old room with Bella.. Have to say its a break from Hubs snoring!

Oh good grief, my boy Jesse [cat] has figured out how to re-open the plastic Deer Park water bottles. I usually take a swig of water and put the cap back on. One day I caught Jesse with his mouth around the cap and then I heard the sounds of plastic dropping on the table... he got the cap off :P

Maybe he was thirsty.

I had to give fluids to one of my old cats I used to have. She got used to it after a while. I never did. I felt like the poor old thing must have felt like a pin cushion.
She did look funny with that big lump of fluid before it distributed throughout her body.
