Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Extra Cuddly
Since Persia settled down (after letting me properly know she was pissed off at my leaving her in that smelly place for 7 days), she's become extra cuddly. Clingy, even. Last night I was awakened several times with my side being kneaded (maybe she wanted me to get up and make bread or something). My lips have been kissed, my chin licked and gently nipped and she won't let me leave the room without following. Last night I took a bath and she sat on the edge of the tub and chattered at me even more than usual. Normally she only wants in my lap when I'm reading this group every once in a while. Now she's not even politely tapping me to ask for an invitation (which she knows I'll grant); she's just jumping up and curling up in my lap. I think she senses I'm going to send her to that smelly place again in a mere 12 days. I need to make sure I've got the suitcase completely re-packed well before then so it doesn't disturb her. The problem with that is, the seasons are changing and I have no idea if I'll need clothes for warm weather or cooler weather. We'll be in Highland, Illinois 10/6-10/12. It's not far from St. Louis. If anyone lives in the area and has any seasonal packing suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Persia's extra playfulness (aka the USPS "box" and snuggles!

Poor Persia. You need a live-in catsitter. >> We'll be in Highland, Illinois 10/6-10/12. > > It won't be a lot different from Memphis. Maybe a few degrees cooler > is all. > > Poor Persia. You need a live-in catsitter. Thanks, Pat. I don't know anyone I'd trust with a key, let alone live-in for a week. The vet staff takes good care of her, she just gets understandably upset. I had a bad experience with one of my brothers a number of years back. I was going to be away for a couple of weekends (not a full week) in a row on business. All he needed to do was walk my little old dog Saturday evening and Sunday morning and make sure he had fresh food and water. I came home to find he hadn't done a damn thing. The dog had his legs crossed and no food. And I was *paying* him. Wound up not paying him, of course. Gotta love some family. I'll pack lightly but put a sweater in the suitcase just in case.

Man, don't you love it when twerps are *related* to you!?

Or did he just not bother? If he just didn't bother, I think he would have been an "ex-brother" I doubt I would have spoken to him again. There's no excuse for knowing that an animal depends on you and deliberately not caring for them. I wouldn't, either, expect to pay my brother for doing something for me. It should be done for love. That's what families are for.

He's pretty much my "ex brother" these days. I gave him other chances since then (not with my pets) and he's just a selfish lunatic.

One lives 100 miles away. If I was desperate, and had to call on them to help me (which I try not to do) I wouldn't have any worries whatsover that they'd do the right thing. I could trust them to do everything properly. If they had to. I can't imagine what it might be like to have family you can't rely on. Naughty family to not help you. No, it would never happen here. My aunt and uncle would definitely be here for me, even if my brothers were too busy. Do you mean to say that your brother knew he had to feed, and widdle and poo your dog and deliberately chose not to? If so,that is *definitely* an ex-brother. Unforgiveable.

When I got home the 2nd weekend, Sunday evening, there wasn't even food or water in the bowl for Sampson. And the dog was about 15 years old at that point. I should have asked my other brother to help, he's more reliable. But he didn't live as close so I didn't want to bother him. He's definitely my *ex* brother. I haven't seen him in over a year and haven't talked to him in months. Jill |
