Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2007The wrath of Lucy
My dad is still pretty sick. In fact, I don't think he will see the new year. But his cat Lucy is keeping an eye out for him. She has started sleeping next to him, and has made "surprise" attacks on anyone who comes near my dad's bed (with a few exceptions). My brother David and his wife (down from Indiana), for example, are attacked. Me and my grand niece are not (although a healthy hiss lets us know that Lucy is READY should we endanger her daddy). She usually lets my stepmother go into the room, but if she does anything that makes my dad hurt, Lucy lunges out and terrorizes my stepmother's shoes (big grin). I worry about how Lucy will do after my dad is gone. She's only about three years old, so she's still got a lot of years left, but my dad is her one true person. Her only person. She hates everyone else. While I'm thinking of it, could I have some purrs that Lucy will be able to deal with my dad's loss, and be able to deal gracefully with those of us who will also miss him?

Have you tried offering her a treat when you approach? Perhaps you could win her over if you do this. I have an old friend whose niece overdosed and died in her sleep last week. When her companion went in late in the morning to awaken her the woman's pet dog attacked him and ripped him up quite a bit. I am told, the dog had never done this before to anyone.

And she is not an agressive dog by any means. Not even a decent watchdog. I'd guess a lot of dogs are like that. Jo >> My dad is still pretty sick. In fact, I don't think he will see the >> new year.

[quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Hugs and Purrs, > Mark Mark, I am so very sorry that your father doesn't appear to be improving. My gang is sending purrs for Nurse Lucy to work her magic over the next weeks and months and he'll turn the corner to stay around and keep Lucy company. But if not and he has to make the journey we will send purrs for all of you and hope that Lucy will be able to make the adjustment from her one true person to someone who loved her one true person. It would be nice if she could make the leap to your stepmother so that the two of them can share their loss together. For the moment, however, we will send our best healing purrs for your father and support purrs for you and your family. Julie, Hobbes, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus Purrs for Lucy, for you, for your Dad and for the whole family. SignatureJoy > My dad is still pretty sick. In fact, I don't think he will see the > new year.

WooToo was afraid of everyone but my mom, which is different from the way Lucy is but made for a similar problem. I adopted her when my mom went and, after awhile, she has adapted well. So, if the day comes, Lucy will probably adapt. Meanwhile, let us purr for your dad.

I had to live in a no-pets-allowed residence hotel while the house was being repaired (the insurance would pay for a hotel, but not for an apartment), but adopted two adult cats, Katie and Cinders, once I was able to move back into my house. Their former cat-slave was moving overseas. Katie made friends with me fairly quickly, but Cinders was scared of me for several months. Then, one day, she suddenly decided to stop being scared of me, and has been a love-bug ever since. Katie died of cancer less than a year after I adopted her, but Cinders is still in good health, and still likes lots of attention. She is very fond of grooming me with her sandpaper tongue, and I suspect that she must have been in the habit of grooming Katie's fur, although I never actually saw her doing it. SignatureJohn F.
