What did your pet(s) do today?

[Kätzchen]

Miss Petunia is going to run out of all her Kitten-Lives if she doesn't quit running out to the road to lay down on the rocky gravel that lures her to race across the road (as well). She nearly got hit by a car, last time I went over to see her. She scares me sometimes.

I go over to babysit her in February, possibly in January too.

Miss Petunia is very old, for a pearly gray Tuxedo Kitten. She gets prettier each year that goes by. I want to get her some pretty purple charms to hang from her purple kitten collar, since the purple bell charm no longer rings like a bell. It just goes .. *tink-tink-tink* .. once in a purple moon.

I was playing online and realized that it was very quiet.....too quiet. I looked around and found Gracie snuggled in the cushions of the sofa so I loved on her a bit but I could not find Loki. He's a biiiiiig kitty and he was up front and present for breakfast so I knew he could only be in the living area or the bathroom. I checked the bathroom. No Loki. I searched every surface in the living area. No Loki. Then I went to the only other place he could be....under the chaise lounge. I called but he didn't make a sound. I looked around the edges of it and heard and saw nothing.

I told Gracie that Loki may have been sucked into a vortex to another dimension and she seemed to be pleased at that since Loki bullies her a lot.

Then I went back and called him again and finally saw the tiny tip of a buff colored ear with a muted 'mew' at one of the lounge's corners. I asked if he was ready to come out and he said 'mooowww' so I lifted the corner up and out he came.

You would think that he would remember that he hasn't figured a way out from underneath that thing but no. No memories at all of all the times I've had to rescue him from it. What happens is that he either gets too scared or is too intense in chasing Gracie and he'll get his way in but never seems to have the same motivation to get himself out. Maybe I'll leave him under there next time so he can figure it out himself. Things are a lot more relaxed when he's trapped. I know Gracie appreciated the time 'off'.

I do not have a pet at the moment but have had dogs and a few cats all my life. I found out that the best way to protect pets is to use cord covers on all electrical cords that they can get at. Puppies are like babies, they need to be protected and so do our cords. I always got mine at a hardware store.

Diva Kitty is over on her corner of the bed for now. I don't know why she's not hogging the bed, but I'm grateful.

I have a "stray" cat that I feed but at this point I think he lives here. Anyway, I fed him tonight but when I looked out the window to see if he wanted more food all I saw was a big fluffy tail. Oh no, it was a large skunk on my porch eating the cat's food we all backed away from the front door and waited for the skunk to move on. No one got sprayed, so yay!

Thanks! That's something that's never crossed my mind, I didn't even know they made something like that.

Diva Kitty has been hiding all day. She won't even come out for "Meow Luau" treats.

I still miss Tiny Dog a lot. But today I was finally able to wear my pajamas with frolicking doggies all over it.

Miss Petunia is laying on the sofa, right next to me, purring and watching me as I type on my laptop, while I'm watching an ABC news special (it's a triggering subject which makes me sad -- I should change the channel).

She'll probably lay on her back and drift off to sleep, since I just fed her and put medicine in her ears (her thyroid is on the fritz).


*maow, maow*

They are running around like lunatics currently. Something got in their craw.

I ran out of the house at 8:30 to help someone load their moving van and Loki sneaked in the bathroom before I shut the door and I didn't see him so he apparently had a grand ole time for 6 hours in the bathroom. I thought something was up when Gracie met me at the door when I came in. That's Loki's job.

So, he found the Q-tips. He has a thing for them. Now, he's chewing on it and tossing it in the air and running around and then back to it and growling at Gracie for daring to look at him from across the room whilst he does all that.

Yep, that's my cat.

Diva Kitty snuggled down and made a "fort" out of all the laundry on the floor in front of the washer and dryer. She spent the whole day there.

Baby drove me crazy making noise playing under the bed, so I got up and gave her tuna to distract her. Hoping she doesn't figure out that making a racket under the bed will result in tuna.

Diva Kitty is lying next to me on the bed and eyeing the laptop likes she's going to start walking on the keyboard soon. Guess I will get off BFP and give her lots of pets.

If she does it again, distract her with something else, like a laser pointer, so she doesn't automatically connect noise=tuna.

I had a tech coming so I rearranged the living room. The big cat tree used to be really close to the front door so I moved it behind the sofa and I think that was a really good idea. Both cats are using the tree more and seem to be having fun jumping from the back of the sofa to tree and back. Loki is a selfish hog and kept Gracie off the big tree most of the time when it was by the door but yesterday, she fought back and they both were able to enjoy using it at the same time, which was my intention. I have the cutest picture of them on it at the same time.
