Yes! You read that right. Elliot farts when I pet him. No joke!
He’s always been a farty cat. Elliot eats the same things Casper eats so it’s less likely to be a diet problem. Every cat is different. Food that one cat can eat okay might give another cat the farts. I guess Elliot’s a...
Just another cute behavior that Elliot, our younger cat, has been doing, lately.
He's only been living with us for a little less than two months. He's getting used to his new home, nicely, and he's starting to show more of his little quirks.
His latest cute quirk is running into the bathroom...
I've never had a cat do this before!
Elliot likes to sit on my lap and lay on my stomach any chance he gets. If fact, any time I sit down on the sofa or lay down, he'll be on top of me in about half a second. No joke! In fact, if I walk into the room, he'll come and make figure eights around...
Continuing from here: We have a visitor!
Our new adoptee, Elliot is now in his own separate room and he’s settling in, nicely. Soon, it will be time to let him out and start introducing him to Casper. I think Elliot is starting to get itchy feet, so to speak. ;)
Casper and Elliot already...
There’s a neighborhood feral that Casper’s Girl-Human has been feeding at our back porch. He’s a good looking “tiger cat.”
We think it’s time to “bring him in,” so to speak. He needs to be neutered, get his shots and have a microchip put in.
We’ve already spoken to the vet and they say that...
I notice a funny behavior from Casper and I wonder if others see it, too...
Whenever I wake up in the morning to get ready for the day, I come to the top of the stairs and, when I look down, there's Casper, looking up at me. I say hello to him then head down the stairs. As soon as I take a...
Every time we bring groceries home, our cat, Casper, comes to greet us and investigate the the things we brought home.
It's kinda' funny how he seems to know which things are for him!
He knows which packages that his cat food, his kitty treats and cat litter come in and he always gravitates...
Have you heard "The Wellerman" sea shanty that was popular on TikTok and YouTube?
Well, there's a new version. The Trailer Park Boys have done a sendup called "The Kittyman!"
I was watching YT, this evening, and one of my favorite channels, SciShow, posted a really interesting video about cats and the color of their fur.
The video talks about the genetics of the colors of cats' fur and how/why cats have different colored fur.
During the video, they discuss an...
I'm a pussy cat and I'm okay!
I sleeps all night and I sleeps all day!
I chases mice. I eats my meals.
And I goes to the litter box.
(Can you think of any more verses?) :D
Our next door neighbor has a cute little cat, named "Pikachu" and they don't seem to be caring for him very well and we both, Casper's Girl-Human and myself, feel pretty upset about it.
Pikachu is a little, brown and white bi-color. He's about a year old and he's a real cutie! They got him...
Onomatopoeia: Using words to imitate sounds.
A cat goes "Meow!" A dog goes, "Woof!"
A car goes "Varoom!"
What are some other words used to describe sounds?
On two nights, during the past week, Casper did the cutest thing I've ever seen him do.
I was sitting by my computer thinking to myself, "It's getting late." I had decided to finish up what I was working on when Casper came into the room.
He sat by my feet. I thought he wanted attention so I...
Casper has been having problems with constipation again.
Thankfully, we got him to the vet before it turned into megacolon, again.
The vet says that he'll be okay but he has to stay overnight so that they can give him an enema to get him cleaned out.
Casper had a case of megacolon, a couple of...
We have a young, female cat that comes up to our back porch to see Casper, almost daily.
They sniff each other through the screen door and it seems like they are becoming friends. Casper is fixed and he doesn't go outside but the other cat is free-roaming. She's really friendly and there...
If we go to the bathroom and sit on the pot, Casper will sometimes come into the bathroom, go into his litter box and scratch around like he's burying something even though he hasn't left any "deposit."
I guess that's because he's attached to his humans and thinks of them as part of his family...
Casper had to go to the vet for a bad tooth. He ended up getting it pulled out.
His right side upper canine tooth was so rotten it was loose. The vet pulled it out right there in the exam room. It was over in less than a minute. She gave him a shot of antibiotic and a 10-day course of pills...
Casper just got home from the vet today. He had to stay overnight due to obstipation/megacolon. He came home today and has been under the bed ever since.
A couple of days ago, Casper went off his food and wasn't going in his litter box. I called the vet in the morning and took half a day off...
Our cat's name is "Casper."
(Obviously... ;) )
He was named "Casper" when we adopted him but, since he was abandoned, he was probably named something else before we got him.
His Girl-Human calls him, "Kitty-Kitty."
He actually does know his real name but "Kitty" is what he knows best.
So...
I've been noticing an interesting behavior with Casper which has me scratching my head.
When I try to play with him or, sometimes, just approach him in order to pet him, he'll run to attack one of his scratching posts. (We have two scratching posts for Casper.)
Casper has always been a...
