Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Poor Dulce Mae
This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands. This involved getting my socks out of the dresser drawer. Dulce Mae was on top of the dresser, helping me select a pair of socks, and I was not paying attention. I closed the drawer on her paw. She started screaming and yowling at me, pulled her paw out of the drawer, and walked away to the other end of the dresser. Oh my gosh! I hurt my baby! I picked her up, cradled her in my arms, apologized profusely, and kissed BOTH her front paws (which she conveniently held up to be kissed - hmmm). Well she forgave me right away, as I had made extreme speed with the apologies. She cuddle up against me, helped me tie my shoes, kicked my belt into submission (thankfully before I put it on), and purred for me. A little later, I noticed that she was limping a little bit, which worried me. Until I caught her walking normally, when she thought I wasn't watching her. Little minx! But that's okay, I'll go ahead and spoil her, as that seems to be what she likes (big grin). Hugs and Purrs, Mark >This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands.

Several years ago, Herbie (rb) was hit by a car. I had him checked right away, of course, and found that no bones were broken. Several weeks later, he was still limping rather badly, and naturally got a lot of attention, which even extended to helping him up onto the couch or the bed, etc. Finally I took him back to the doctor, who said that a nerve had probably been injured. He said Herbie would probably limp for the rest of his life, but assured us that he wasn't in any pain. I stopped making a fuss and helping him, since I wasn't worried about him hurting. Within a few days, he was walking normally, and he never limped again. Joy > This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands.

He broke his leg and had difficulty walking with the cast. I started to carry him on a pillow to his food and the litter box. After awhile, he learned to navigate and I stopped the pillow routine but still gave him all sorts of extra attention. When the cast came off, he still limped badly -- and then one day I walked in and caught him running wildly around the room (with no sign of a limp). They know!!

[quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Hugs and Purrs, > Mark Reminds me of the time I closed my big Ginger tom's tail in the refrigerator door. He yowled and swore with all four feet flying off the floor. But he became a bunch of purrs when I rescued him. MLB >This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands.

Many years ago someone posted here about the day their absent-mindedly stepped back and trod on their kitty. A loud yowl followed by much saying sorry, hugs and so on. In the next few weeks she seemed to step on her kitty more and more: every time she stepped backwards there was a yowl, and the hugs routine followed. One day she tried stepping backwards and immediately spun round. The kitty, a full 18 inches away, was caught giving a loud plaintive howl!!!!!

A loud yowl followed by much saying [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > One day she tried stepping backwards and immediately spun round. The > kitty, a full 18 inches away, was caught giving a loud plaintive howl!!!!! That is hilarious -- the best one yet. Animals are much more intelligent than some people realize.

The > kitty, a full 18 inches away, was caught giving a loud plaintive howl!!!!! Recently I stepped backward and got a bite on my ankle. I must have stepped on Rusty. He likes to sit under the rocking chair. One time I was on the rocking chair and almost jumped out of the chair with his yell. Now I am very careful to check under the rocking chair first.

That is a good one!! Smart little thing! Oh, and by the way, have you deleted Australia from the maps yet after our horribly offensive ad??? :p > A little later, I noticed that she was limping a little bit, which > worried me.

Speedy Joe (RB) once sprained (we think) his foot landing awkwardly and of course, we made a huge fuss of him. After that he would limp whenever he wanted to get attention. However we got wise to this and so he would limp with one foot and when that didn't work he'd try another one.....

Especially since most animals try to hide any weaknesses so they won't look vulnerable to predators. I guess this means they trust us? Or maybe that we've trained them to know that a weakness is a good thing? :) Joyce
