Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2007Vino needs purrs
Last night Vino was out in the back yard when I heard cat-fight sounds. I ran out and brought him inside, no signs of the intruder. Vino kept hissing at me whenever I picked him up, very strange for him. I checked all over his back for injuries but found none. This morning he still hissed when I picked him up so I looked on his chest and found a wound. It's hard to tell how bad it is because of all the fur. But then I also noticed that one of his claws is bent up at a funny angle and there's blood in between his paw pads :-( So it's off to the vet with him as soon as they open this morning. I hate to whine but this is the last thing I need today. I've got a job interview at 10, planned to go straight back to the house afterwards to paint all day since we're under huge pressure to get a lot of stuff done. I also just got a notice in the mail last night that the rental agency wants to conduct an inspection of the house we are renting next Wednesday, and I haven't cleaned in 3 weeks, not weeded all winter! I haven't got time for this! To top it all off I've got a huge phone bill that I can't figure out why it's so big because there's only $14 worth of calls, the other $320 is the line rental for 3 months??? This is 3 times as much as my last phone bill. So I have to call them to complain but their phone line isn't open yet. Then I need to write a letter to the rental people saying we're moving out on October 31st (and pray to God that we will actually be ready to move out that day!) and I need a forwarding address but just found out there's no mail delivery to the new house so have so get a post office box first...aaaarrrgh!

Oh, no, poor Vino! :( It's really scary when your kitty comes in with a bleeding wound from a catfight. Happened to Smudge a couple of years ago - I never found out what happened. Purrs that it's a simple wound that can be patched up quickly. And purrs for all the other stress in your life. What would happen if you didn't pass the rental inspection? You're leaving soon, what could they do to you? In the US, it's hard to think what could happen other than that I might lose my security deposit, but that wouldn't happen unless something was damaged, or I'd left the place really filthy. But then, in the US we don't have rental inspections, so I'm not familiar with the protocol. In any case, you will be out of there quite soon, and moved into your wonderful new place. Purrs to get through the next 6 weeks with your nerves intact!

The rental inspection is *supposed* to be about ensuring that the value of the property isn't damaged and/or whether it needs maintenance. They cannot do anything *legally* about lousy house or yard work unless its left like that after you vacate (unless its specifically spelled out in your rental contract to the contrary). Mostly rental inspections are about ensuring that the tennants aren't causing any damage above 'normal wear and tear' and nothing more. And, unless things change, you ahve to agree to the inspection. Most places take 'silence' to mean acceptance, but if you send them something to say that you don't find that date/time acceptable, they can't legally enter the premises at that time. It would be then up to you to re-negotiate a time and date that would be more acceptable to youas the occupant (but keep in mind that you probably agreed to regular inspections, so you can't delay it too long) As to poor Vino, we are sending purrs that its only a flesh wound and that it will heal up quickly. What evil phone company are you with? (all phone companies, IMHO, are evil, just that some are more evil than others) Yowie >> Last night Vino was out in the back yard when I heard cat-fight >> sounds.

[quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > Mostly rental inspections are about ensuring that the tennants aren't > causing any damage above 'normal wear and tear' and nothing more. The old realty company used to go into the shower and do the white glove treatment and inside the oven too. We always used to get nasty letters complaining about too many weeds in the back yard. Since the house sold, we are with a different agency and have only had 1 inspection. It didn't seem as thorough and we didn't get a weed letter. > And, unless things change, you ahve to agree to the inspection. Most > places take 'silence' to mean acceptance, but if you send them [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > youas the occupant (but keep in mind that you probably agreed to > regular inspections, so you can't delay it too long) No point in delaying, I'll have to clean anyway because Dennis is coming home and it would be rude to have the house a mess for him to come home to. So I'll try to do some cleaning in the evenings after either work or painting for the next few days. I am not going to touch the weeds, I think we'll just go postal on them with roundup after we've moved out and Vino doesn't go back there anymore. > As to poor Vino, we are sending purrs that its only a flesh wound and > that it will heal up quickly. Thank you, I think he will be just fine, see my update. > What evil phone company are you with? (all phone companies, IMHO, are > evil, just that some are more evil than others) Yes, you are right. Evil is a good term. We are with the Evil Optus. Their call centre opened 1/2 hour late, then I was on hold for 20 min and the lady I got was abrupt to the point of rudeness. Turns out that sometime in April or something they sent out a letter saying that their monthly line rental has gone up from $29/month to $55/month but will now include free local calls and some other cheap long distance or something. Now I don't talk on the phone much as can be seen by $14 of actual call charges over 3 months. This is not a good deal for me. Then she said that they switched their billing cycle from paying for the previous 3 months to paying 3 months in advance, so my bill is actually for 6 months! What a load of crap. It physically hurts me to fork out over $300 for a phone I hardly use :-( Then I happened to mention that we are moving in October. She asked for my new address, checked some stuff and said that they cannot cover me in that area. Things started to look up at this point :-) I'll have to go with someone else! Unfortunately I signed up for a 2 year term with them and it will have only been 18 months but it's not my fault they don't have lines in my new area. I will fight this if I need to. Then I called Westnet, another carrier around here (don't want to have to resort to Telstra). They have coverage in my area and have a great deal on phone and broadband, better speed and 4 gigs more download than what I have now with Optus. Cheaper too, especially now with this ridiculous new Optus scheme. So Westnet it will be, can't wait actually.

So Westnet it will be, can't wait actually. I don't know about your part of the planet, but don't be surprised if Optus tries to either bill you for the remainder of the contract term and/or charge you an "early termination" fee, even though you won't live where they could provide service. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you might want to start thinking now about how you can get them to drop ET charges. How about unilaterally changing the contract terms (pay in advance instead of in arrears). Good luck! Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe who is continuing the "Vino get well" purrs. Good thing it wasn't infected. I've seen cats come in for abscesses that were the result of of a cat fight wound that wasn't noticed. Vino sounds like he'll be ok. Is he wearing a collor to keep from licking at it? And purrs to you that things work out Kristi Imp, Mischief and Mayhem I don't think it had time to get infected because I got him to the vet the very next morning after it happened. He is not wearing a collar because he's not licking at it at all. I don't think he can really reach it because it's on his chest. OMG! Just now I heard a bell from the back yard. Vino doesn't wear a bell. I went out and saw a cat lounging in Vino's recliner! I told the cat to go home and Vino came casually ambling from round the corner. When he saw the interloper, he stopped dead in his tracks. Luckily this was the cat that Vino tolerates pretty well, was probably not Monday night's attacker. The cat wasn't listening to me and didn't get up to leave, so I picked him up and put him up on the fence and he left. This is the 2nd time I've helped this particular cat on his way. Sheesh, why can other people's cats not stay in their own yard!!! SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Or cats have tended to think the world is their yard. Before we got Kayla the neighborhood cats liked our back yard more than their own. Because they did have dogs in their own. Our backyard is still considered safe haven at night. Doesn't take the neighborhood cats long to figure out it is fenced in from roaming dogs and Kayla and Jake are inside until sun up.

Before we got Kayla > the neighborhood cats liked our back yard more than their own. Because they > did have dogs in their own. I remember reading a book a few years ago about "cats and their culture", and one of the first things the author talked about was the notion that cats have a different concept of "property" from the human concept. (Dogs and humans seem to be more on the same page as to what areas are whose territories.) In the writer's view, a large area could be divided up into various pieces of private property, belonging to various humans, and we all (or most of us, anyway) respect these boundaries. Meanwhile, cats, whether of the domesticated species, or lions, leopards, or any other wild cat, have their own notion of property (ie, territory), which exists simultaneously with our own in the same place, in a kind of alternate feline universe. The boundaries do not coincide. None of this is breaking news to the readers of this newsgroup, but I just thought she wrote about it in an interesting way. Anyway, my point is that perhaps your neighbor's cat has decided that your back yard is part of his territory? Or he wants to take it from Vino? Or maybe he wants to share it with Vino. Or maybe he was just visiting... Joyce >> "badwilson" <badSPAMwilson@yahoo.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Joyce I think they just rotate yards in which to meet in. About 5 min later the cat was back on the fence already and then there was a little black one on the grass. This one spooked and bolted as soon as I opened the door. Could have been the meanie from Monday night, who knows. It's just so odd that they come into our yard seeing as how it's fenced in on all sides with 7-8 foot high solid wood fence. You'd think they would more be around the front yards, street, etc. Oh well, we're moving in 6 weeks so no matter... I'm already stressing over how I'm going to keep Vino inside for a few weeks at the new house when we first move in. Doesn't seem right to let him out right away. But he gets frantic if the door doesn't open when he wants out. I'm talking severely angry throwing himself at the door yowling at the top of his lungs kind of frantic. I'm hoping that exploring his new indoor territory will distract him from wanting out right away. SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

She howls at the door, and she'll shove half her body between the horizontal blinds (which she has pretty much wrecked), but she's never done anything that might be dangerous to herself!

It's just impossible to be around and impossible to ignore. It's loud, annoying and doesn't stop until he gets let out. >> I'm hoping that >> exploring his new indoor territory will distract him from wanting out >> right away. > > Maybe you could take him out on a leash at first? Well, I found out from Thailand that once he gets a taste of it, it's never enough and he wants it all the time. The best I can hope for is to just not let him out for a couple of weeks until he's accustomed himself to the new house and then begin by heavily supervising him. This will take up all my time that I'm at home because I won't be able to be in the house without him bugging me to go out.

Maybe once you're all settled, and you're confident that he knows where he lives and how to get back, you could have a pet door installed? You could keep it open when you're around, so he could come and go and not hog all your attention. But when you go to bed, or go out, you could lock it so he stays inside. Of course, this could mean that you get some uninvited visitors in your house...

Once he's all settled and knows where he lives, he'll be able to come and go as he wants. No point in keeping him in when we're living way out in the country!

No, once he knows where he lives and is unlikely to get lost, he will have access to the out during the day through his cat flap, which we had installed at great expense to the window people.

Don't you just love that for once it wasn't something that cost you extra? I know how it can be with houses. Seems there is always something else that wasn't included in the original estimate. Wish I could figure out a way to put in a cat flap here. But with my luck the cats wouldn't use it, or at least my cats wouldn't. And Kayla would probably get stuck in it. No way could we put in a door miss muddy paws could use. Jo Jo >> [quoted text muted] > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Jo > Jo My dog, Rex (RB18) would enter the front door, flop down on the door mat and wait to have his paws wiped off with a towel that I left there. It took only a couple of tries until it became a habit for him to do this. He has been gone for over 40 years, but I still think of him. MLB >>> [quoted text muted] >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > took only a couple of tries until it became a habit for him to do this. > He has been gone for over 40 years, but I still think of him. MLB My mom's dog would do that. My poodles were pretty good about it. Plus they were so small I could carry them to the sink and just stick their paws under the faucet if they were muddy. Kayla, I'm lucky if she doesn't make it into every room in the house if she manages to get into mud. Especially since Charlie tends not to pay a lot of attention to who and what he is letting in the door until its too late. This includes cats with live prey. If I'm right there and let her in, there is always a big towel right by the door that I throw over her and then try to get to the paws too. Jo > Vino would hate an enclosure passionately.

But I bet you Vino will still want you to open the door for him. Must keep his servant in check. ;) When I've taken a new cat out to the island, I've carried them into my shack where I sleep, but then immediately opened the door and let them explore by themselves. Mir was so smart; she explored in gradually widening circles around the shack, until she was familiar with her surroundings. She never goes very far. Caliban, of course, hid under the pillows in my bed for an hour before he ventured outside the first time, but he did go a little crazy when he realised he had all that space to run around - and the trees to climb. But except for the occasional zomies, he never goes very far from the shack, either. Frank and Nikki used to wander far when they were young, but as they grew older, they would stay closer to home, as well. None of the cats has been lost, though we've let them out immediately, but then it's an island, so they can't go very far. I do understand that you want to keep Vino in for some time before letting him roam. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. Purrs are on the way.

Please keep us informed about Vino and your situation with your stresses. We all care about you. Pam S. Thanks for the purrs, everyone! I think they worked, Vino is going to be fine. I dropped him off at the vet's on my way to the interview. The vet was super busy today and this was the only way to get him seen quickly. I picked him up after my interview. The vet had shaved a small patch on his chest around the wound. He said that it was good that we caught it so soon before it got infected. Vino got an injection of antibiotic and also a pain killer injection. He has to take 2 antibiotic tablets a day for the next 5 days. The vet highly praised Vino for being such a sweetheart. Then the techs tried to get him out of the cage to put him in the carrier for me to take him home. He hissed and swatted and I had to go in and do it. He even hissed at me! I think he was stressed because there was a hissy cat in the cage next to him. I got him calmed down and into the carrier. The vet came in and said he was taking all the praise back! Oooops! Anyway, once home, Vino ate a bunch of food and I turned on his electric pillow and put his pyramid bed up on my bed. He was settling in for a long sleep when I left to go to the house for painting. When I got home at 6pm, he was back to his normal self and couldn't wait till I was finished my shower to get his dinner. I think he'll be fine:-) About the job, it was a good interview, it was my 2nd for this job. Kinda weird to have a 2nd interview for a cellar door job, I guess this winery takes themselves very seriously. But they did say the guy had been away on vacation for 2 weeks and was trying to re-familiarize himself with the applicants. We'll have to wait and see what happens. I still have my old job anyway, which I don't mind except that it's so far away. The new job would be 15 km closer to home which would be wonderful.

I don't know what's going on with these cats. Quite a few come into our yard, over the fence. Some Vino pretty much gets along with, others obviously not so much. Funny thing about this one, even though I didn't see it, was that it came from the other side of the yard, where the evil party neighbours live. Evil neighbours = evil cat??? Where we're moving the houses are all on 4 acre blocks, so they are quite far apart. We already know 3 neighbours and nobody's got a cat. This is a good sign :-) Hopefully Vino will just stay around the house and not roam too far. I doubt he will anyway, he's pretty lazy. > Glad he's going to be OK!
