Ha, I figured. 😅 Next time it happens I'll definitely try to stop myself long enough to catch some video. I do have some security cam footage that didn't see them, but you can hear the sound my newer one is making - don't know if that's at all helpful. But I'll try to catch video too.
What a cutie!
Since you've never noticed it before, it's probably worth getting it looked at by your vet. Since she is eating well and still playful, more than likely it will be no big deal but better to rule it out and get peace of mind! Older animals tend to get all kinds of lumps and bumps...
Hi all. This will be a novel so thank you to anyone who offers their expertise.
I have a separate ongoing thread about my introductions with these two, but it's gotten very long and this is a separate issue so I thought I'd ask for input.
I have been around cats most of my life, but have...
First of all I would like to say that I cannot imagine the pain you're experiencing, and I find you exceptionally brave and admire your sense of humor with so much stacked upon you.
Secondly, I'll share my experience.
I got my cat Shadow when my Grandmother had a break with reality caused by...
So, personal update as well. As you know, Shadow was originally my Grandmother's cat and I adopted him when she could no longer live at home. She passed away on the 22nd of a massive stroke, quickly and peacefully. It has been one hell of a week but I'm glad I have these two to make me laugh and...
@cat nap
I come with updates and videos and a couple questions, if I can impose on your kindness once again!
The boys have reached a big milestone. They're now together 24/7, including when I'm not home. It was VERY hard for me to take the leap, but I tested it when I was going to be at my...
I laughed right out loud at this description! That's how I'd describe Ghost. I don't know if it's because his face is white so it's easier to see, but he's CONSTANTLY bonking his head on things or running in to things and gets little cuts on his face. 🤦🏻♀️ There's grace there, but it's...
@cat nap I return after some health troubles! Nothing major, but put me out of commission for a bit. I am now 100%, and come bearing an update!
For the most part, the boys are getting along very well. Ghost is still a little dramatically wary of Shadow, and occasionally I need to redirect...
@cat nap Haven't had the most fun of evenings here with the boys. One dust-up I had to separate them from (though in all honesty, it may have just been Shadow trying to wrestle and Ghost getting extremely vocal underneath him and it looked like a fight to me), and otherwise Shadow will just NOT...
This is a good thing, that's what I observed with my guys too. As long as Ghost was in his room, Shadow seemed to be acting completely like normal.
I completely get feeling like you've betrayed or done something bad to your resident cat. Shadow is my absolute love, so I had many days I was...
Well I come to you with many videos and pictures!
Ashley (my visiting friend) quickly helped me see that Shadow may be a little exuberant, but is being very friendly and just trying to play. Ghost, she called my "little drama queen" because most of his reactions are out of proportion to...
Haha, fairly soon I'll be telling you you're not giving yourself enough credit, just like you tell me! But yes, it's hard not to look at the legs and head, just beautiful. A lot of the body language in the video you shared is subtle, and shows horses that are either interested in something, or...
Groundwork can absolutely be done outdoors if you feel more comfortable starting to learn with handling! I would call first and ask for a tour/info about the lesson program, and specify you'd like lessons on handling the horses first. Any good barn will be happy to hear your thoughtfulness...
Oh dang that stinks, I hope your weekend went up from there! Happens to the best of us. :alright:
The boys just finished a 40 minute hang out session complete with chilling out together, and Ghost trying to start play. I've figured out he does enjoy being chased! He's just not sure yet about...
No, Shadow is very intense which is why I think it's been difficult for me as a cat-speak-naive person to figure out what hes actually "saying!"
But I come to you with more videos! We are still at short meetings, but mostly because Shadow seems to reach a point where he's like "PLAY WITH ME!"...
This is wonderful progress!! I find with my two, sometimes, if they have a less than pleasant moment they just need a little break from each other before they try again and looks like the same for your guys. Thanks for the pics and glad there's peace in the valley! 🤣
Yes, he generally does invade Ghost's space to sniff his nose. He doesn't invade to play, but he will walk RIGHT up to him sort of ignoring the discomfort signals that Ghost is giving off. Ghost will typically move just enough to give himself some distance. I find if Ghost is just sitting...
Hi!
It sounds like your kitten is eating her food way too quickly and it is coming back up. You can buy slow feed bowls or a lickmat to slow her down, or feed her small bits at a time so she can't eat it too quickly!
