Good idea on keeping the one dog away from your cat. I'm sure he is just as happy being in a smaller space and not harassed!
I would give your cat a bit more time with your puppy. Your puppy sounds very good and respectful and is giving him space and respecting his boundaries. I'm sure in...
A: Jeans, and a loose, comfortable earth-tone T-shirt or sweatshirt. I like to be comfortable and can't stand constricting clothing.
B: Black tennis shoes and/or tan sandals depending on the weather. I really like to be comfortable and can't stand uncomfortable shoes! (AKA I don't do...
I bet your puppy is adorable!
I have a 12 week old puppy. He is not allowed to chase the cats, even in play. My older dog (3 year old female) will occasionally take the bait of the cat who will "challenge" her to a game of chase. But they are already friends.
I wouldn't allow the other...
If you can find a groomer, tell them the cat is matted, and all you want is the mats removed. They should be able to get in with clippers and cut them out. An experienced cat groomer IMO won't try to talk you into a bath, or "grooming package", but will be able to get the mats removed and send...
"The Blues" are very common after adopting, especially so soon after losing your soul cat. I am sorry for your loss. :(
I understand the feelings, and have been there. But they don't last forever. It's very normal and a lot of people experience those same anxieties and feelings, so, you're...
I like A1 on a steak that I feel is overcooked, but I prefer steak rare (not medium rare, but rare). In that case, a dash of salt is all I need.
I don't make meatloaf because I don't really care for it, with the BIG exception of my Mom's. She makes it really, really well and she always gives...
The Q-tip is a very good idea. It will be easier to hide it in your hand. 😺
If she likes to be pet, I'd pet her with one hand to distract her and see if you can loosen the relevant area up while she's more focused on being pet.
How does your cat do when you're out of the house at work or running errands? Is she relaxed when you get home or does she seem stressed?
If she has a sitter she likes, I would ask them to come twice a day and maybe see if you could pay them to spend a bit more time with your cat, either...
The love and devotion of a cat is a special thing. Pumpkin still loves you, he's just not here in the physical form. And remember, you have many friends here on TCS who care about you as well! :heartshape:
Is it stuck to her fur, or the actual anus? Not to be graphic, but is it stuck to the "hole", or the area around it? (Sorry to be gross!) Has she had a bowel movement since you've noticed it?
If you're able to see, does the area look sore, red, or inflamed?
Some lucky little cat out there is about to hit the jackpot, and they don't even know it!
I'm excited for you. I hope the right cat comes into your life at exactly the right moment.
If he is laid back and friendly, I would ask to do a trial run and keep him for a day, or maybe even overnight, to see how he'll settle in. If he has any special medical needs, this will ensure you're able to do the necessary daily things for him without him becoming too stressed as well.
