Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Shamrock is evil tonight
Ok, its been about 3 timeouts for Shamrock tonight. I just don't get it with him. He has these moods where he relentlessly attacks Shadow (and me!) and tonight is one of those nights. It is like he is possessed and will not ignore; leave him alone; go find something else to do. We played earlier with toys, and I had him on my lap for a while and he snoozed, and since then he's been horrible to Shadow, and also keeps attacking my ankles when I try to walk across the room. I am starting to wonder if that is the connection? When he gets lots of attention? It is just about time for me to call it a night and based on his mood tonight I wonder if I should put him downstairs for the night? (fully finished lower level; just like being upstairs only I'm not down there). His allergy spots are doing well since he had a steroid shot a couple weeks ago (and his regular checkup) so it isn't like his skin itching is tormenting him..........sigh  SignatureCheryl > Ok, its been about 3 timeouts for Shamrock tonight.

It happens with Pearl too. Generally, I really think its weather related. karen Yes they always say cats tend to race about and generally get into mischief when its going to rain, and maybe the steroids have enhanced this for aren't they supposed to make you more active?I dont know much about them but athelete's sometimes take them tomake them perform better dont they?

Generally, I really think its weather related. I second the weather opinion. I live in COlorado and my cats go bonkers the day before the wind gets serious. My totally sweet tiger cat once left huge claw marks across my forehead when she cat-apulted out of my arms. Within 12 hours - chinook.

You're probably right. He's just a little sh*t at times. Welcome Tbird, your kitties are beautiful. SignatureCheryl >I second the weather opinion.

I'm sure it's an old wives tale, but the problem is that they act crazy so much of the time that I'm not sure I could tell normal crazy from extra crazy. Who wants a bunch of boring 'normal' cats anyway? Regards and Purrs, O J > We live in LA and keep wondering if cats can really predict > earthquakes.

I hate to tell you this, O J, but there is no such thing as a "normal" cat. Pam S. >>I second the weather opinion. I live in COlorado and my cats go >>bonkers the day before the wind gets serious.

There are several theories, but the most plausible one to me is that they are sensing the small tremors that, according to seismographs, usually precede the big tremors. The problem, of course, is figuring out why the animals are acting jittery. In the case of cats, as you said, they go off onto a wild rip sometimes anyway, with no earth tremors required.

That's for sure! I just wish he'd quit it. He's been like this for as long as I've had him. They get along ok sometimes, and then he gets a bug up his butt and stalks both Shadow and me. I dread shorts season because my ankles and calves are always scratched. And poor Shadow, he gets so upset when he gets chased. Oh well... he's a bit better today so I hope it lasts.
