Cats, cats, cats

This popped up in my FB feed from three years ago. Not much has changed, he's been on my lap this morning doing the same thing. I tell him I know big kitties need love.

aww

he did jump on her a few seconds later. Poor girlis so stressed she is peeing everywhere on everything. Told DD to get another box, put it where she mostly does it. Any other ideas?

They do that. Then she pees on stuff in the room she’s confined in. I sort of suspect a UTI or something else. There is a box for her in the main room they use.

Another sent to me this time by my oldest high school buddy. We are more like sisters!

Edj3 what a great shot!

I was trying to cut Gradys toenails yesterday and we were having our usual battle. Dawson (one of the dogs) came over and rubbed his face on Gradys face and I couldn’t believe it.....Grady calmed completely down and let me clip his nails without a single complaint! Dawson now has a new “chore”.

spookiesmom, She looks like my Felix. She suffers from cat anxiety, I think. Went from meowing at night to chewing. She hates Louie and we have had him nearly 4 years.

There's a few meds that work pretty well for anxiety in cats. I remember a woman at the vet with her cat saying it was like a different cat once they tried the meds.

I do use Rescue Remedy in their water (I have two that struggle), although someone has mentioned not to use that because of alcohol - I am not certain if there is alcohol in it or not, I think some do not have alcohol in it. My vet also recommended those pheromone collars, and we keep those on them too (not 100% sold on that yet, but seems as though things get worse when I don't have them).

Felix has Gabapentin for prn anxiety.

The shelter officers picked up a stray very fancy breed cat. Turned out the owner was away and he got away from the cat sitter. I'll bet the sitter had a huge sign of relief when they realized he'd been found. We knew something was up because people with this breed do not let them outside. The cat was lucky too. We have a lot of coyotes in town.

I see coyotes sometimes on my runs--a couple of times I've seen foxes too. They're all so beautiful!
