Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004Humans: Things they don't understand ;-)
(with nods to Lots42) 1) If you can't find us when you want to take us to the vet, HELLOOOOO, it's because we don't want to go. 2) Doors are to be open open open at all times to allow freedom of feline exploration impulses 3) Some of us hate the feeling of litter between our toes. You have toilet paper, where's ours? 4) Bits of prey are gifts and it's rude to turn down a gift lovingly and thoughtfully chosen. 5) If we don't like this bit of food, we are waiting for you to wise up and find the bit that will meet our standards. Ham is always good. Unless we decide it's not. 6) Night time is for hunting and playing, day time is for napping. Get a clue. 7) If you don't want the flower vase broken, don't put it under the light where we are hunting moths. DUH.

I swear I only have to think about taking them to the vet, and disappear into some alternative feline dimension. I've got all three of them shut in the house at the moment because they are going to the vet to get vaccinated & chipped this afternoon, and boy do they know something's wrong :-) Emily has taken up residence behind the washing machine, Mojo is hiding behind the couch and I had to use a broom to "encourage" Muddy to come out from under the bed. Catching them and getting them into their cat carriers this afternoon is going to be a challenge, but I need the excercise :-)  SignatureNik Simpson >> (with nods to Lots42) >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >the bed.

You mean the vet disappears? Seriously, it's process of shutting of access to all areas of the house where they can easily hide then lulling them into a false sense of security. It takes some practice but I've gotten better at it over the years and managed to round all three of the "little darlings" up yesterday within about 10 minutes! Of course when I got back from the vet they all disappeared into the bedroom and hid out under the bed for a day sulking, but I think I'm forgiven, that or they just got hungry.

I had to cancel Bonnie's appt last Saturday because I thought she was comfortable enough with our routine in my bedroom on Saturday mornings (door shut, me going back to sleep, her eating her morning meal without Shadow getting into her food, her coming to snuggle after eating when I go back to sleep. Long time tradition now). I had the carrier in my room and when the time came to get her in it, I planned to put the harness on her for insurance at the vets office (she's a former feral) but once I started trying to put it on her, she wiggled free and I couldn't get her out from under the bed. She was afraid of me for a while the rest of the day. I rescheduled for next Saturday to give an extra weekend without trying to catch her and this time I plan to have the carrier in the bathroom because she always comes in there with me and I can shut the door and there isn't anywhere for her to hide.

That sounds good, but since cats have managed to disappear over the years, and I have *never* found out where, it does not seem to help.

I've got a fairly open plan house, if I can keep them out of the bedrooms, there options are limited :-) SignatureNik Simpson >> (with nods to Lots42) >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > getting them into their cat carriers this afternoon is going to be a > challenge, but I need the excercise :-) You forgot to wear your tinfoil hat.

Yeah, but then they just associate me wearing a tinfoil hat with them going to the vet :-) SignatureNik Simpson >>>> (with nods to Lots42) >>>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Yeah, but then they just associate me wearing a tinfoil hat with them > going to the vet :-) LOL SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy, Milo & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat.

DUH. 8) All clothing looks better with cat hair. 9) Any leftovers are to be given to us. And please reheat, you don't eat cold leftovers, why should we? 10) It's not your bed, it's MY bed and I'll take up as much space as I want. :) Mischief "Mischief" <krysfamulan@yahoo.com> wrote > 10) It's not your bed, it's MY bed and I'll take up as much space as I > want.
