I had a Moyen poodle, still have a Maltese. Both were getting older. Maltese will be 14 next month, poodle was 13, went to the Bridge this summer. Got cat because I couldn’t stand the thought of being petless when the dogs were gone. Poodle and cat were best buds. Played, chased around the...
I’ll stand in line for as long as it takes for the clerk to check me out. I was in Walmart. One night had exactly one item dude stood there and watched me like I was gonna steal it. I didn’t even put it in a bag grabbed the receipt and left. I run into trouble when I buy produce I just don’t...
Daughter has one for her two cats. Both she and they like it. She says it helps stop litter from getting tracked out. Her vet, who also has cats, recommends it.
I had to put my husbands dog down this summer. I still have a hard time looking at “his” corner of the couch. Not doing that last potty call. Not putting his food out. It’s not weird to grieve your way. There’s a hole in your heart, and it does get better, but on YOUR schedule.
Was in the grocery store on my daughters birthday cashier asked me how are you doing? I said oh I’m feeling old oh I said yeah today is my daughter’s birthday. She’s 51 I feel decrepit.
I questioned my vet about this too. Cat is indoor only. Here, it’s required for rabies. He gets whatever other shots she thinks he needs. My dogs go out in the yard to potty, hard telling what could be on their feet. A possum has been hanging out there the past 2 nights. Afraid to let my 8#...
Also in Florida. Can’t tell you how many mornings I’ve woken up to find one or two half eaten bugs around. He actually stays in the kitchen waiting for them, then patrols the house hunting for them. Not much you can do, might try some roach bait in a cabinet the cats can’t get into.
I bought a cheap fishing rod and reel on Amazon. Took the reel off, tied a bunch of ribbons on the end. Works well, he knows where it’s kept, yells at me to get it out.
I’m in a wheelchair most of the time I’m also a smoker. It’s difficult for me to go outside to smoke, I’d rather if I could. So I sit in front of the slider screen door. Dogs are in and out, cat likes to watch them and smell the smells. Was afraid he’d try to run. So have a cane hanging over a...
Had an outside cat who rolled in it in my garden. It’s in the mint family, think peppermint or spearmint. Can also be used to make tea for yourself and won’t make you goofy. My cat doesn’t react to it.
The first time he had to go to vet, dummy me used my soft sided dog carrier. BIG mistake what a struggle. Next time I borrowed daughters carrier. She left a towel in it with her cat’s scent in it. I put it in the living room, open. Both dogs, and cat had to investigate. It sat there for a week...
My 2 dogs get a flea prevention pill monthly. They are in and out all day. The cat has never been treated, never had fleas. Never ever goes outside. Fleas are a year round problem here in Florida.
