Sad but true....I like that they have that rule in place but still awful it has to be done at all! My pets are also my family members forever and always! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineater Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Aw, 3 years ago I found my Lily dead in my daylily bed. She was just this little ball of fluff that didn't move when I nudged her with my boot. I carried her all the way across the parking lot on my pitch fork. She never moved. Her little tail blowing in the breeze. When I slide her off the fork I heard a little meow. I thought it was her last dying breath but when I nudged her a little more she flopped her head around like a drunk. Scoped her up and rushed her to the vet. They couldn't get any vitals on her but when I called to check on her a couple hours later, they said the last time they checked she hissed at them, good girl. He said she only had a couple hours left, everything was shutting down. She was one pound and they guessed 6 weeks old. Her formal name is Miss Death Lily the Garden Cat, my Lily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineater Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I signed up to volunteer Christmas Eve day and Christmas at the shelter. See if we can get their staff out of there and home for the holidays. Not a biggie for me, fits in with my schedule except the 7AM start time, lol. Fortunately their Home for the Holidays event has left many empty cages. The big cats though, more than I would like to still be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineater Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 We tried to outsmarted Timone on the turkey this year. Last year we set the pile of turkey on the table and he did a fly by, snatching a piece in mid jump over the table and gone with it. This year we brought in the dog to stand guard. Didn't phase Timone. He had been standing watch in the kitchen since he first smelled it. Dog came in, Timone fluffed up but he wasn't budging, had to pick him up and put him in the other room where he stayed and we got to eat in peace. But now he knows I have a bag of scraps in the frig for him. I can't walk in the kitchen without a cat rubbing on my legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am sure if I left out meat my cats would eat it....I seriously can't leave anything out. I like to snack before bed while watching TV and accidentally left my box of Twizzlers out and woke up to find little red pieces of it strewn all over the living room floor. I don't think they ate it but they do like to chew and spit things out like cardboard or paper. Is this normal for cats? Such angels when sleeping but during the night the naughty antics begin! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineater Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Never had a cat do that. Timone goes crazy over potatoes chips, anything like that. Lily could give a shit about people food except ice cream. And my neighbors cat, anything Italian. Think they each have a little quirk or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 I've given my cat pieces of smoked salmon and rabbit jerky, but other than those he doesn't have much interest in meat or people food. Although, I've seen him snatch food and hide it purely so that my dog can't get it - he'll pick up a chip or cracker or something, bolt across the room and leave it behind the couch. He doesn't eat it, but he knows the dog wants it, so he's just being a jerk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineater Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 They have books called the 12 Cats of Christmas! What cat lover wouldn't have wanted that? I know 4 people I could have got that book for. Next year folks it's going to be the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineater Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'm changing my cats' food. Cats hate that! I put the new bag in the cupboard where I keep their treats, totally fooled them. They are all over it. Not often I get one over on the cats. Score one for the wise old woman. Wait, still involves cats. Maybe it's another one for the crazy, old cat lady.

marlingrl03 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'm lucky. Both my boys eat well and I switch their foods a lot. I mix limited ingredient dry food with a high protein one. *all grain free* They like variety and it keeps them on their toes with an expanded palate. Spoiled!

cineater Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'm going for grain free too. Timone has tummy issues they can't figure out. They thought it was cancer but that was 3 years ago and he should have been dead by now. His coat is not looking good. I also switched them off kitty litter and only use pine pellets. No more kitty litter in their paws and all over the house plus it's cheaper at the co-op. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineater Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Fuck. Walked into the shelter, my day to exercise cats. Peeked into the kitchen, tomorrow is my day for dishes and laundry. The dryer has been broke for 2 days. There is a mountain range of dirty towels and blankets. The guy is coming this afternoon to fix it. They close at 4. There is no way they are making any kind of a dent in that. All mine tomorrow. Don't worry about the pets, storage is still half full. This will just rotate the stock. And if that wasn't a bad enough thought, scheduled Lily's annual exam. Always an adventure getting her into a crate. The emergency plan for her is pillow case!
