Exactly! I feel like I have to be on constant guard! A couple of our regular cashiers have asked to hold him and use hand sanitizer first. I can deal with that. But random strange person? Just no.
I too would grab my son first. And he'll be 20 in a couple of months.My cats are my babies, but if, God forbid, the house was on fire or something, and I only had time to save one other than me, I'd grab Aedan. Of course, I would do my best to save them all, but Aedan would be first.
That's crazy! People have lifted Daisy off the ground to pet her without asking me. When I asked that they put her down, they refuse. Can you imagine?For some reason, people seem to think animals and babies are public domain. That's why I like doing our grocery shopping in the middle of the night. During the day, people come up and try to touch Aedan and coo over him. I get it. He's adorable. But I don't know where your hands have been so back off! At 2 am, the store is empty! That's gonna be one down side to John getting moved to days if it ever happens. No more 2 am grocery shopping.
I hope this one works outKirby got home with Marcy about 10 minutes ago and she's already exploring. I expected her to just hide for the first couple of days.View attachment 236458 View attachment 236459
Some cats turn to goo when put on a halter or harness because they have a hereditary condition called "freeze and fall" which makes them topple over, mostly unable to move, much like a fainting goat. They can't help it. That's what you see in the supposedly funny videos. The same happens when you put clothes on them or swaddle them. Not all cats experience this, though. And some eventually adapt to their harnesses.I took the cats out on a leash today (checking proper harness fit is a when your cat's bones have turned to goo). I just realized there's an outdoor danger to the cats that I've never thought of before. The grass in front of my unit is about half grass/half clover and apparently both the local bumble bees and the local honey bees think my bit of yard is great.
