She ran away when I yelled at her, so hopefully she just did it the one time. She was probably trying to show me how cute she was by rolling around with her belly in the air and playing with the cord. But no, no, NO! I had a kitty once who burned a hole in his tongue that way. We thought for awhile he might need plastic surgery so that he would be able to eat, but he figured out how to make do. I do not want Diva Kitty to have to go through that!

Tiny Dog is just happy because she got to pee in a new place today. We went walkies in a different direction than usual.

Squirt bottle. I have a chewer. She will gnaw on anything...cords, metal, plastic, furniture, toys, the litter box....the list is endless. I have tiny spray bottles hidden all over the apartment and when she's getting into something, I spray her. The amount of trouble she's gotten into has decreased since I started this. It won't hurt her but it will startle her and, with consistency, she'll figure out that's a no no.

Another option is to find a bitter spray and spray it on the cords in the house so if she does chomp down, it won't taste good.

So Baby has figured out that the carrier means bad things. It took me an hour and a half to catch her this morning. Eventually, I trapped her in one room and called a neighbor to help. If I get on the floor, I may not get up. Certainly not with a cat in hand. So I was uber late to the vet, but the took her anyway. I have to pick her up in a couple of hours. Next time I will grab her first opportunity in the morning and take her to the crate instead of the opposite. Gawd.

All 3 dogs got their teeth brushed.

I leave the crate open off to the side in a hallway, with a towel and toys inside. Both cats go in and out of it and even sleep in it when they want some privacy from one another. That way, they don't have only negative memories associated with it and it's easier to snatch them up when it's vet time.

In other news, they are running rampant tonight, jacked up from dinner and their usual night wiling. DC is sick and Loki keeps bouncing off of Him as He lies on the sofa so He can't rest. DC called him over, because they both know their names, and Loki walked over even though he had an 'uh oh' look on his face. DC had a stern but quick chat with him and now Loki is giving DC a wider berth.

Gracie thought she was going to be cute and try to bite the extension cord I ran for DC's fan but after a squirt blitz, she is also giving it plenty of room, so that's good.

Both cats are currently resting between pounce sessions but are slightly less 'crack-y' now so all is well.

My little guy went in for a teeth cleaning and ended up having one extracted. Several hours later and he's finally starting to sober up from the anesthesia. He's been pretty wobbly all day, and it was a little funny to watch. He doesn't seem to want to let me out of his sight.

They gave me some some wipes to wipe his teeth with a couple of times a week. Not sure how he's going to like that. Hopefully he doesn't have any tooth pain and that funky breath will be gone now.

Jennifer Avery and Jeffrey Alan got in trouble. They sneeK off while I change ftom work cothes to play clothes. I call them in to eat their dinner and each reeceived .sharp slap on their fannies. Some days they are wild children

Martina · 02-16-2018, 11:13 AM

Baby left a nice spot in the sun this morning to sit by my side. I started petting and scratching her, but apparently it was too intermittent. She gave me a stern look which said, "I didn't give up my patch of sun for this. Work harder!"

Kenna · 03-01-2018, 08:15 PM

He racked up a $185 vet bill for infected ears and eye issues.

GeorgiaMa'am · 03-01-2018, 08:27 PM

Diva Kitty thought she was going to get to scratch on her favorite kind of handbag today, but I caught her just in time!

Diva Kitty and Tiny Dog were both kind of reserved last night. We had an overnight guest who self-describes as "not an animal person". They hovered around warily until I opened my bedroom door, and then they both scooted inside!

Gemme · 03-01-2018, 08:43 PM

Loki wanted to climb up on my lap earlier but I didn't have time then and now that I had time and wanted to cuddle with him, he said, "No, thanks".

Rude.

TL1 · 03-13-2018, 04:29 PM

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before or not but.....

She talks to me. Everyday when I get home, before doing her excited dancing around, she lets out this huge yawn looking thing and talks. Sounds like aaaaoooo uuuuuuuuaaa wweeeeee but it’s so cute and the only time she does it.

Kenna · 03-13-2018, 07:52 PM

Pets...their love and funny things they do...always makes things better.

My old boy wouldn't leave my side all day.
My pup was sooooo funny with her new toys. That's the laughter I needed today.
Now she's tucked in beside me, with her face hidden, wrapped in her new sweater that has tiny hot dogs all over it.

They make the day so much better, and you can't help but laugh at them.

Gemme · 03-13-2018, 08:01 PM

Gracie is running around acting like the precious psycho she is. I love it when she goes all kitten and has a ball with her toys.

GeorgiaMa'am · 03-14-2018, 05:38 PM

Tiny Dog was bouncing all over the place tonight, anxiously awaiting her share of the pizza bones. She was practically standing on top of me by the time I was finished and gave some to her.

Diva Kitty has been a little clingy for the past few days. She has decided she likes sleeping on the pillow next to me. Usually, she sleeps at the foot of the bed.

candy_coated_bitch · 03-15-2018, 04:51 PM

Our kitty is chasing a spring all over the house like a maniac. He keeps wearing himself out and stops to rest every now and again lol.

Kenna · 03-13-2018, 09:54 PM

One doggy is upset her momma isn't home yet, so she's sitting in her mom's recliner, seriously pouting and all nervous. She paced for several hours today. But she's a big luv bug.

The other one is still mad her mom left, so after I got back from the air port, she pooped in 2 rooms and up the steps...then wouldn't come back inside for over an hour even with snow on ground...now she hasn't left the window seat in hours. (She's the fear biter)

This is gonna be a fun 2 weeks.

Kenna · 03-15-2018, 09:41 PM

Crate training is not going well. She howls her lil head off.

She's been very pissy today and every little thing upset her. She's STUBBORN and adorable.

She's now being sweet and quiet, sitting next to me very amused with Alton Brown's voice on Good Eats.

FireSignFemme · 03-16-2018, 12:30 PM

All the kittens are using their litter boxes now. I put a mom size and kitty sized one in their holding pen thinking mom role modeling the behavior would help them catch on and go in theirs. Nope, Survival Mom refuses to use it. Happily, one of the kittens figured it out all on his own. Then very quickly, the others catching on followed suit. Now they use both boxes and are getting better about reaching it in time. Three have completely trained themselves and never go anywhere but the box. The other two sometimes can't make it to the box in time to pee but like the others they are reliable about making it to the box in time for the other. So no coaching required. Lucky me!

candy_coated_bitch · 03-16-2018, 01:14 PM

My baby boy cuddled with me for a few minutes. He deigned to be spooned. That is VERY rare.

Gemme · 03-16-2018, 07:44 PM

My babies loved on me. I adore them the most when they are quiet and relaxed in my lap.

Then they go bazonkers and that's the end of that.
