What did your pet(s) do today?

Gemme · 06-21-2018, 05:49 AM

They played hard and now Gracie is laying on the floor next to me with her back to the wall because Loki's been a shit and committed several sneak attacks already.

Kätzchen · 06-21-2018, 06:30 PM

Petunia, Simon, and Toffee were on their best behavior. No crazy barking episodes, lol. No fighting with each other, and Petunia and the dogs just loved me up to heaven and back.

Ps/ I placed 3 new photos in the photo gallery (on my page): one of Simon & Toffee, one of Petunia (both photos from today), and an photo of the beautiful rose garden, out in North Portland, on Rosa Parks Blvd (from last summer or it could have been last fall, I forget now).

Switch! Now it's Loki hanging out with me as I play online. No, wait. Gracie's here too. I have both of them surrounding me! They've been pretty good today so I'm a happy mama.

cinnamongrrl · 07-04-2018, 12:41 PM

I don't know....I'm too far away

I miss them all so much! Is it odd to miss your chickens? Cuz I do....

Monte's running a bit of a fever after his shots, but it's down from yesterday so for now I'm just keeping an eye on him. Giving him lots of love and reassurance when he's awake, but mostly just letting him sleep.

Gemme · 07-05-2018, 06:07 AM

They spooked a bit last night with the fireworks but it was short lived. Currently, they are hiding in the bedroom because it's cooler in there.

My parent's two dogs and my uncle's dog have been doing nothing but barking, whining, and yipping because everyone else is out besides me and Jedi.

GeorgiaMa'am · 07-05-2018, 07:33 PM

Tiny Dog is a very happy dog tonight, as she got to lick the pot that macaroni and cheese was made in.

Diva Kitty is currently snoring on the foot of my bed.

Hunger strike. I introduced treats back into his diet as a way of tempting him into the cat carrier to ready him for his trip to the vet. Now he wants them as the main course at every meal. I haven't the heart to force feed him so now what?

Put the food down and leave it. If it's dry, it can stay until Hell freezes over. If it's wet food, don't leave it down more than 24 hours or bacteria will grow. He will eat when he gets hungry enough.

Do NOT give into him because then you will be reinforcing that behavior.

I agree with Gemme. When he is hungry enough, he will eat. He is not going to starve to death. Stay strong, mama!

How did it go this morning?

FireSignFemme · 06-27-2018, 10:23 PM

He begged almost non-stop constant but I held firm. He ate everything first meal of the day but only picked at his evening meal. He can be stubborn so I considered it remarkable progress for the very first day. Thanks for the moral support.

Gemme · 06-28-2018, 10:51 AM

Way to go! Cats are manipulative little suckers.

Currently, my two are MIA so I think they are under my bed. That's normally where they go when they need to be alone.

FireSignFemme · 07-03-2018, 11:46 AM

This morning I woke up and caught Monte peeing outside his litter box and when I did he ran away. The only time he has ever gone some place other than the cat box, including today, is when after cleaning it, distracted by something else, I forgot to put fresh litter in. Even then he's never went on the carpet or on anything else difficult to clean. This morning it was an old coat I was using as a door draft stop. I don't shout at him, even raise my voice, chastise him in any way when he makes a mistke, so I don't know why he bolts when there's a mishap. Now he's hiding in the back room. It makes me wonder if maybe his old owners were mean to him, punished him harshly for that, or other things cats sometimes do. Once after accidentally tipping over a glass of water, he ran in the back room and hid. Well this time, even though he's put himself in jail, he didn't try to hide and I am being allowed visitation.

Gemme · 07-03-2018, 06:18 PM

Loki is hiding in the dark because he's a fat cat in a fur coat and it's hot, even with the a/c units going full blast. My Gracie girl has stayed close to me since I got home. I think she missed me. Currently, she's curled up on the floor next to me.
