Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Nice going, Caligula
It was about ten minutes after I put Stinky's evening meal down for him; I walked back into the kitchen, and Stinky was right by his near-empty dish, doing his usual hopeful, "aren't I adorable, feed me, mommy" meow, complete with cute little head-tilt. "Nice try, pal," I said, and walked out of the room, practically right into a nice fresh pile of kitty puke on the floor. Gosh, I forgot about time travel back to the Roman empire, and the ad hoc vomitorium. :P No wonder he was still hungry, he barely let it hit the sides, both ways. :P He must like what I fed him so much, he wants to taste it as often as possible. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >It was about ten minutes after I put Stinky's evening meal down for >him; I walked back into the kitchen, and Stinky was right by his [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Theresa Oh, Yoda does that to me.

DH and I have to either ask each other if the cat's gotten his canned goop [he gets free-fed kibble, too] or check for dishes on the floor with cat food on them. When we were staying with a friend with two cats, the humans HAD to communicate about these things or the cats got extra breakfasts [not that the cats thought this was a problem ;-)].

And smart! Isadora(RB) used to do this to me. And she ALWAYS chose the carpet, not the linoleum floor. I finally learned to wait a few minutes rather than wading right in and cleaning up. Inevitably, the mess would be less when I came back in 15 minutes or so to clean it up. Martha Stewart I ain't.

Do you think it's because of the anaesthetic? Or what? I *can* remember whether or not I've fed the cats, but I can't remember whether I've taken the meds I now need. So I bought a box thingie in which you can put meds, early morning, noon, afternoon and evening for a week. I just need to remember to fill it once a week. It's a bit alarming, really. I'm not that old that I would normally have to worry about memory.

With medication, though, it's important that it's taken properly at the specified time, which you know of course..so that's a routine that can't be broken. I'm hoping to be off all meds in six months or so. I prefer not to take them, but realise that I *do* need them at the moment. Stops my eye from exploding..

I'm sure I'd have forgotton some of the doses without it as I would have been doing important things, like cuddling the cat. :-) SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. >I too have got a terrible short-term memory since I had five operations.

This probably doesn't apply to you, I think you're way younger than me. But buying a 7-day pill organizers was a real old-lady milestone. It was rather depressing. After that, I felt led to buy a plastic accordian-folded rain hat for my purse. :-) Sherry > >I too have got a terrible short-term memory since I had five operations. > >Do [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Sherry LOL! I should perhaps get one, it seems the next logical step after a pill organiser and deciding to wear comfortable knickers and shoes. ;-) Tweed > >I too have got a terrible short-term memory since I had five operations. > >Do [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Sherry That OK. Just so heaven forbid you don't actually wear it! Jo > buying a 7-day pill organizers was a real old-lady milestone. It was > rather depressing. Ha! I've been using one of those for about 15 years. I've always been forgetful. I used to have a good memory, but I was very absent-minded, so I often wouldn't even get to the point of asking myself, "Did I take my morning dose, or not?" Of course, now, I have to add in that I wouldn't be able to answer that question, if I even remembered to ask it, without my indispensable dispenser. :) > After that, I felt led to buy a > plastic accordian-folded rain hat for my purse. :-) Oh, I wore one of those in my 20s! Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this. :) Joyce > >He must like what I fed him so much, he wants to taste it as often as > >possible. :P Kumani does this...stuffs more into her little tummy than it can hold so it comes right back out again. LOL at "barely hitting the sides!" WE've tried giving her a private place to eat and there's always lots of food around, we've tried hypoallergenic food and everything, but about every other week she gets the urge to play "race to the bottom of the bowl" and that "brings up" barf-o-rama. --Fil >> >He must like what I fed him so much, he wants to taste it as often as >> >possible. :P [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >--Fil The Stinkboy is usually very bouncy first thing in the morning, and he's got a full schedule-- wolf down breakfast, and run up and down the stairs a few times, and bounce off the walls.
