Heartworms In A Cat, Bj As His Story Begins.

[neely]

He’s so romantic. I love a good kitty love story!

Like I said, the Don Juan of cats!

So glad you were able to show your company the positive and alluring side of cats. BJ gets an A+

If I could find the human equivalent of BJ, I might...might...consider dating again. Might. Probably not, but might.

You have me cracking up. He truly is a ladies man. I think that a human equivalent would be a protective and loving guy so if anyone finds one , or two like that, send them here! I think they could find a few friends worth having! However..... Mamanyt1953 remember that I catch him with several of the girls here.

What?!?!? I’m just keeping Thrasher company!

Mom?

You don’t need a Hooman. You’ve got me!

Don Juan even to us Hoomans! I love you too BJ! You little heart stealer you! He’s very good at this!

BJ got to attend his first Birthday part yesterday! He thoroughly enjoyed it! He had treats, playtime and lots of fun!

He shared with his favorite girl!

Afterwards he has the most relaxed and happy expression!

I think he had a very good day!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I guess he's a natural-born party animal!

Just wanted to update about BJ. Since he had a little weight loss I had been concerned even though the vet wasn’t. I decided to see if I could get some of the weight back on him. In the early days on being around BJ I had always stayed with him while he ate. He wants to be with me constantly now. He’s so very sweet and loving. He craves closeness. So...... I’ve been sitting with BJ during meal time. He is actually staying at his plate longer and is eating a bit more. I also added an extra food to his plate. One of the foods that has lots of gravy. He really likes it.

The results are starting to show a little bit. He’s getting that sweet little belly back!

He definitely looks a little fuller.

My boy just wants company while he eats!

A full tummy makes you want a good nap!

We’ll be taking all our meals together now! Lol If this is all it takes to boost his weight again, it’s a very simple solution. I can’t wait to tell the vet he is improving.

Glad he's eating more. But be careful you don't create a "won't eat without mom" monster.

Happy to hear his appetite has improved and he enjoys your company at mealtime. Unbeknownst to me. my husband started giving Carleton water out of "my" drinking glass. He has 2 fresh bowls of water in the house but anytime one of us goes to the sink now he follows us and starts meowing. I told my hubby he created a monster!

 

[Jcatbird]

Very good point! Maybe I can just put BJ where he has a space to eat without the other cats hovering nearby. Lol I’ve caught cats drinking from a cup before. Yummy. Cats tongue if your water!

 

[Jcatbird]

Bj definitely has more energy. He’s back to his normal Don Juan activities. I had already turned out most of the lights for the night and the cats may have thought that I had already gone to bed. This is what I happened to see.

Bj and Flowers were snuggling.

I guess Flowers sensed me looking and told BJ.

Oops! I was caught.

Flowers was’t too happy at the interruption.

They left and found a more private location to snuggle!! Sorry kitties!

I suppose everyone likes a little privacy. Time for bed!

 

[Norachan]

They're so sweet! Spayed and neutered cat couples can be so affectionate with each other, can't they? I think they have a much stronger bond than intact cats who have to worry about rivals and fighting for territory and everything else.

Could be worse. I once found a pet rat upended in an unattended glass of beer (TOLD the ex to watch that!). You have not lived until you've chased a drunken rat running amok through your house!

Yes! A drunken rat would be much would be much worse! Colorized that glass did ya?

BJ and Flowers have decided to stand their ground! It looks like this is their spot for bedtime.

BJ gave me “the look!”

Then he just turned away.

He kept checking to see if I was still there,

But he finally relaxed and chose to ignore me!

I did get a bit of a stare the first thing the next morning though! Lol I’ll be trying not to disturb the “couple” at night anymore!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

BJ: "There are some things, Mom, that you just DO NOT need to know!"

 

[Jcatbird]

BJ: "There are some things, Mom, that you just DO NOT need to know!"

I totally believe that!
The first night I caught them snuggling........ well, the look on BJ’s face tipped me off that I had interrupted something personal. His expression that night was priceless but I am trying not to come back through for a glass of water anymore. I’ll take a glass to bed with me! No telling what I might see next!

You might want to make that glass one of those with a top, like you get from the 7/11 for coffee. I only say this because some cats, who shall remain nameless, have a tendency to play in any water they find. A cup of even tepid water splashed over one in the middle of the night isn't something we of certain years need to experience.

Very good point! Not to mention getting a taste of paw flavored water. Or tongue tested! I did have a travel mug. I’ll be looking for it and in the meantime, I can keep an empty cup upside down by the bathroom sink! I find they’ll put their paws in empty cups as well!

Well you know dishes. I'm convinced cats were all upper staff servants in previous lifetimes, with serious interest in the perfection of the table settings, trays of drinks and the serving of tea cups saucers, plates and delicate sandwiches and cakes. Why else would cats who supposedly can't taste sweet want to eat cakes and cookies?

I can totally see that! Whistle steals cookies at every chance. He’l catch You by surprise and snatch it right out of your hand. Then he runs away with it in his mouth! Oreos are his favorite! Beware the Cookie Monster! It’s really hard to get them away from him. He’ll take a swat at you! BJ just got caught licking at the cream part of my creamed corn on my supper dish! Really BJ? I got him weighed again and his weight is coming back up. He had lost .6 of a pound. It’s probably going back up because he’s eating my supper!
To confirm your thoughts about cats liking saucers, tea cups, dishes, etc. , how about this?
BJ eating, delicately, off of a fork! The yogurt icing from my birthday cake. A few more cakes like that and he’ll be over his previous weight! The trick must be serving utensils! Time to get out the good China!
