I'm going to point out the glaring fact that you are not a cat. And you are overthinking things and applying human logic to an animal. Loki has an emotional eating issue, which is not really logical. It's instinct and fear. It's been 6 months since it happened and he's almost a year old so I don't think he's going to outgrow it (per what Daisy said). Little Miss Gracie has been crawling in and out of my lap all night, so it's been a good time. I love her purr. I love both their purrs but hers and her little meow is so darn sweet, I can't stand it. Loki got jealous one time and crawled in my lap after her but after a few minutes, he scratched me good with his nail and I plopped him on the ground next to me. They have to control those things. We've talked about that. Tsk, tsk... |

But, yeah, if you are not looking to change behavior and just want to not let him get too fat, then the piddling out of food sounds good.

on the weekends i get us mcdonalds...i get the mcmuffin, they get scrambled eggs. They sit patiently while i divide the eggs up then they assume their posts on the edge of the bed for me to feed them bite by bite. They are so sweet..they sit there and wait their turn then i let them lick the plate. Its the small things that make me love them more everyday.

I tried to change the routine a bit with leaving less food out in between meals and Loki flipped out. Well, he flipped. The water bowl. While full. Three times. Now his bowl does not have any water in it because I'm tired of cleaning it up. They both drink out of Gracie's bowl anyway. He cannot have an empty food bowl without going bonkers and throwing a fit. I know he's a teenager now but I'm not dealing with rational thinkers and I'm not spending the time to clean up every time he flips the bowl over and it's not a light bowl either. He's being a shit. I had a talk with him this morning but I don't know how much of what I said got through to him. It's nap time now so they are cuddled up together in my spot on the sofa. I took a pic. I had to! They are soo freakin' adorable when they want to be. |

Tiny Dog and Diva Kitty were both happy to see me when I returned from a weekend away. Diva Kitty did not even try to punish me by ignoring me for awhile as she usually does when I'm gone for too long; she just rubbed her head against my hand and then spread out on her back for tummy rubs. Tiny Dog has been at my side with her head under my hand as much as possible.

It's nearly bedtime so Gracie is on her new favorite spot to rest, the padded bar top stool and Loki is actually hanging out in his carrier. I leave it open so they can come and go as they please in it and it will smell like more than a vet's office to them.

Well, I ran the vacuum this morning so it took a while before I saw Gracie. She hates the thing. Loki gets scared initially but his desire to be loved on is greater than his fear of the great sucking noisemaker.
I now have proof that Gracie knows her name. It wasn't long after the vacuum ran and Loki and I were in the bathroom and she loves to play in there too so I called her and she came running. She got some love from me, ignored Loki and the tub, and ran back out to her hiding spot. She knows her name and she loves me almost as much as she fears the vacuum. That's a lot. Loki's on the back of the sofa now and Gracie's surveying her territory on top of the cat tower. |

I've had my cat, Eleanor, for nearly 3 years. (I think) and now....suddenly....
She tries to groom me. My hair that is. I have long hair. This is not possible. But yet she tries.... And now she plays. She never played before. She is three years older (and i found her original paperwork that says she was between 7 and 9 years old when I got her) and NOW she plays like a kitten...?? She's my little enigma slash sunshine.

My gorgeous boy has a poorly eye, a blocked tear duct the vet says, I`m glad I took him yesterday as it seems worse this morning, he has drops to go in twice a day. He hates it and cannot understand why Mama who is usually so full of love and kindness is torturing him. Hes taken to hiding under the table. I have got him some prawns by way of apology.

I really hope so Dapper, they didnt say it wouldnt clear up. His one eye has always has a few problems along the way, he had an ulcer on it once. His cheek underneath seems a little puffy today, I`ll keep bathing his eye with cool boiled water and see if the drops are helping tomorrow, if no change he`ll be going back to vets again.

Since drops aren't a solution for tear duct blockage, I'd assume that the drops are to clear up an infection in Daisy's baby's eye that can be causing the blockage, and that should definitely help with the blockage. If that's the case and all works well, then the blockage should clear up. If not, her vet may try other things but if it's really bad, this can eventually lead to surgery, so it's good that Daisy got to the vet as soon as she noticed the issue. <--not Daisy but has had experience with this a while ago Today, my babies have been relatively sweet and very curious when I brought in some food for them. Yesterday, Gracie spent a little over 3 hours in my lap. I didn't want to disturb her so I just laid there and watched TV and then Loki came up and stretched out next to us on the sofa and it was just really sweet with the both of them. The phone rang and I just let it go because she doesn't get this affectionate that often and I want to encourage it as much as possible. |

They didnt Gemme no, there were two vets, I think one may have been training, I mention this as they were talking to each other as well as me and I sort of felt I didnt get their full attention. A dye was put in each eye and it only came out of one nostril, hence the tear duct issue diagnosis. I was thinking maybe conjunctivitis but this wasnt touched upon. It wasnt my usual vet, as we live in a small village my vet is only open a few days a week so I took an appointment at another, still part of the same chain so they had his notes to look over. The puffiness has gone down but its still very glassy looking and running fluid, I will persevere with the bathing and drops and give it another day, if no improvement he`ll go back again, I dont want him getting worse over the weekend.

I would go back to your usual vet. The easy way to see if it's conjunctivitis is if the redness is all around the eye while a tear duct blockage can create a rust colored spot underneath the eye if it's left long enough. The drops aren't for the blockage. That wouldn't make sense. So it has to be for an infection and you said it seems like the puffiness is diminishing some, so that's good! Infections take a while to clear up. I was initially surprised that they didn't try to flush the blockage out, but with the infection, you have to resolve that before you can touch the blockage. It actually sounds like your boy is on the road to recovery. I would still make sure to book your usual vet if you are still concerned but, from what you're saying, it sounds like you're on the upswing. Good luck! |

To be thread compliant, Gracie has tuckered herself out playing with a 2 inch by half inch piece of paper and is resting on her bar stool. Loki has moved from his carrier to the sofa and is keeping my spot warm for me.

Being really bad!!!!
IDK what is wrong but I think a trip to the vet is in order, she has pooped in 3 rooms today and was outside for quite awhile. And she has been eating toilet paper. Like off the roll. So all doors need to be shut. |

Baby Briar does not have an off switch!!! I told my bestie that I need to hook her up to a treadmill and generator to generate electricity.
She also bounces and kicks like a jackrabbit. She'd do that all day if you'd let her. Today in the warm sunshine, she'd stretch out with her belly in the grass and long skinny legs behind her, then ooch and scooch herself all over the grass, trying to pick on the cats. You could tell by the look on her face she was having so much fun. My WooBear was very loving today...except when he decided he doesn't have to listen to ANYTHING I ask him to do, including stay out of Skippy's "house". Skippy tried to protect his Daddy from the puppy by getting all barky and growly...but with just having 2 teeth left, all he can do is make us laugh. Poor ferocious beast with his curly tail.
