It doesn't make me sad. It's just hard to diagnose and figure out 'why'. But then, I'm hard to figure out too, so maybe that's why cats and I get along so well.

There's a Marco with no Polo? You need another kitty, stat!

She celebrated her 2nd bday today! She brings me so much joy- i've never been this attached to a dog before!

I'm curious if any of my fellow pet lovers have tried a Thundershirt on a cat or dog? I'm thinking of buying one for Chessie, and one for my kitty Zeus. I'd love to know if any of you have tried one of these.

Hollylane · 08-20-2013, 08:15 PM

Chessie, Zeus and I are getting ready for our trip to Astoria. Zeus is the last minute addition, and I know he'll make the entire drive stressful, but he'll love it once we arrive. He doesn't travel well, but he vacations like a champ!

Yes, there was a difference, but it did not correct the problem. PM me for more info if you like.

Hi,

my baby kitty likes to sit next to the computer so that she can lay her face on my hand. The only problem is that I need that hand to type so she settles for occasional pets and kisses.

She is so cute!

we got one for Gracie our Sheppard mix because she was so nervous around my daughter and goose so wanted to love on her it made a real difference she doesn't run and it seemed to make her more secure. we have also finally gotten one for Phoebe our Whippet because fireworks and our fireplace scares her so bad and she just shakes we got the wrong size for Phoebe at first so be sure you get the right one or it is not effective but at least for our girls who are both rescues they do work very well

Today I heard one of our afrikan greys (Baby) say: get in the corvette, rrrRRRrrr RrrrrRRRRR (like a car noise).
No idea where that came from, maybe some commercial?

Licious · 08-22-2013, 01:42 AM

Well, these are the landlord's pets, but it is my job to help with them. And I adore them and am now an "auntie". 6 rescue cats. One has adopted me and sleeps with me. Konya.

Tonight, Konya was sleeping on my bed, then decided she needed to cuddle, even though I was totally out. Usually I can pet her a bit, then she goes back to sleep. Tonight, she was having none of it. She was relentless, pawing, kneading, rubbing... I kept trying to go back to sleep but this went on for over half an hour. She woke me up every time I nodded off.

Finally I woke up completely and gave her the full rubdown and face petting and schmoozing, then she flopped into my arms and looked at me like "oh I love you so". You can't get mad at this cat, at 6 years old she looks and acts like the sweetest little kitten...

Then out of nowhere she flew to the door and insisted to go out and run in the moonlight.

This excessive need for attention is not her typical behavior, no idea where the heck this all came from.

I am still laughing about it.

Sweet Bliss · 08-28-2013, 09:51 AM

Last night I was stressing very badly when I had been trying to find MiMi for 8 hours. Since I realized she had been outside since the night before, my panic was growing by the minute ......

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I let Binkie go outside and when she cried to get back in, I let her stay outside.

Wait for it ...

When Binkie stopped crying, I peeked out the door and there was MiMi kissing Bink.

They both came in ate and fell asleep in a scattering of catnip.

A girl has to do what a girl must do. Pussy comes first.

I don't know about a cat but for dogs it is the main reason that My dog can ride in a car or handle public exposure. When it comes to any kind of storm it is perfect.
I always have it on hand, Always
I hope this helps

ruffryder · 08-28-2013, 11:38 AM

snooze again.

Gemme · 08-28-2013, 07:51 PM

Not mine, but the dogs of my well to do customers are the WORST. Their bad behaviors are not disciplined and, in fact, coddled and cooed over. Bah.

Bad pet owners. Bad! Bad!

Martina · 08-31-2013, 10:03 PM

I moved today. Into temporary digs until I find the perfect apartment (no small feat in my area).

Anyway, the cats are just coming out from under the bed after hours. The younger of the two actually ventured out several times and then returned to cower with her buddy. The older stayed under there for hours. Finally she is coming out, grabbing a nosh, visiting the box and even allowing me to scratch her neck -- until she hears an unusual sound -- and then she scoots back under the bed.

Poor kittens.

I am watching an old Sherlock Holmes movie and feeling like everything's strange too. But I won't fit under the bed.
