What did your pet(s) do today?

Gemme · 04-07-2018, 05:15 AM

Gracie was leaning on my leg and getting a good pet and then she casually walked away and started chewing on my Where the Sidewalk Ends book.

Um, no. No, no, no little missy.

So we had a chat about that.

I remember that book! Everyone bought it!

My two kitties tried a new and expensive food that comes with a sachet of sauce per serving, they licked the sauce off and then went and sat by their cupboard in expectation leaving a full dish of `sauceless` food. Well that was a waste of money was it not.

I woke up and my dog was sitting halfway across the room looking at me. I mumbled something I can’t remember to acknowledge her then fell back asleep. Woke up an hour later and she was sitting there watching me. So I start to get up and her tail starts going and she gets bouncy with excitement. She’s so sweet waiting patiently like that so I gave her lots of attention when I got up.

A light rain is keeping us indoors ... supposed to be an all day trend.

My canine children have been inside on the bed. They wrestle for an hour, then nap for an hour ... it is a cycle and I predict it will continue. They are so bored but behaving well --->>> so far.

Wwwaaaaaaaahhhhh ... I am bored too. I feel smothered having to be inside.

Having a nap. His front paws are pressed together like he's praying for salvation. Or cat treats. Or maybe for him either way, it's the same dang thing.

I'd mix it all up together so they can't get just the good stuff and leave the rest.

Currently, Gracie is at her favorite perch on top of the cat tree and Loki's in his favorite spot, my seat on the sofa.

When we were getting Blade's home theater set up, I placed 2 remotes and a paper towel on the couch, went to change into my fuzzy pjs, walked back into the livingroom and found my old dog had ate half of my paper towel.
He looked very proud of himself and Blade started laughing his ass off (Blade had been oblivious to the shenanigans as they were sitting on the couch together).
Guess he'll need some doggy X-lax if everything doesn't come out tomorrow.

When I went to go see my BFF the other day, both dogs were so excited to see me. They just loved me up and mY cat Ms Petunia came out to sit on my lap and babysit me while we watch TV during our afternoon visit.

I have been busy all day deep cleaning, Spring cleaning my kitchen to within an inch of its life. Naturally I was supervised closely by furry friends. My little girl kitty loves to sit on the window ledge bird watching but has to weave about the bits and bobs on there. So I decided to make her a special place in the corner, I put her a small pad for comfort and was sure to leave her space to access it with ease. I was rewarded with complete indifference and she now refuses to go anywhere near the window.

Gemme · 04-11-2018, 02:09 PM

I just shooed Gracie away from the window. She was nibbling on the blinds. She has a major oral fetish and will chew on anything from wires to metal to plastic to their litter boxes plus toys and bags and paper. Let's not forget the remote, wheels on carts, the ball on the track in the round toy and my phone. About the only thing I haven't seen her chew on is the sofa.

You know there are always lots of chew treats for dogs but I dont think I have ever seen that type of thing for cats, I wonder if there was such a treat if it would keep her happy. One of mine has a thing for paper but only when you are writing on it, she`ll do her best to shred it, we`ve lost homework that way!

I doubt it. They continuously cycle through their toys and things that aren't toys that they make into toys like my hair stopper in the shower, Q tips and empty toilet paper rolls so something is constantly being ignored at one point or another.

I did some research and thought she was likely more bored than sick so I started moving their main toys and scratching posts around from time to time and it seemed to help a bit but not entirely.

She also has double claws (not polydactyl...she actually has double claws on some sections of her pads) so maybe that plays into it. She seems to have her paws in her mouth more than Loki does but I'm not sure if it's the oral thing or the oral thing is stemming from the claw thing.....chicken and the egg if you will.

Next time they get a check up, I have a list of things to go over with the vet regarding each of them. Loki has an unhealthy connection to food. I know what it stems from but haven't figured out how to help him combat it. Gracie feeds normally and I thought maybe that over time, she would help him. No such luck. The good news is that his food neurosis hasn't transferred to her.

My children are complicated.
