Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Devious Cat Tricks!
For years, whenever Chessie comes into a room and finds Nikki snuggling with me, Chessie goes into I'm-having-the-most-wonderful-time mode. She starts flinging catnip toys, chasing and rolling with them. Naturally, Nikki soon leaves me to join in the wonderful-time fun. Don't have to tell you what happens next. What I want to know is Chessie's thought process which tells her exactly how to entice Nikki away from me. Nik does not do this - her method is just to clamber up, push in and make room for herself between Chessie and me......whereupon Chess jumps down in disgust. Hmmmmm.....perhaps Nikki does have a thought process!

My neighbours have three dogs, an English pointer, a Springer Spaniel and a Border terrier, all bitches. They are expected to share the same bed, which isn't really big enough. It's okay if the pointer gets in first, the others arrange themselves around her. *But* if the springer and border get in ahead of the pointer, she can't get in. The first thing she does is to grab a toy and play with it in front of them. This will sometimes have the effect of luring the springer out to play with the toy and then Tess the pointer will then rush into the bed and lie down. If this fails, she will go to the back door and pretend she can see a cat. This works always. Both the others will rush to the back door and ask to be let out. Tess then settles herself in the bed. She needs purrs, actually. She's had a cough for a while and started to lose weight. TED says she has a growth in her chest, pressing on her heart. Her hoomins are considering what to do. She is 13 and they adore her. They know what they need to do, but have to come to terms with it soon. Purrs needed that they can face this decision. She's such a lovely d*g.

Purrs for a gentle journey. > Tess was helped to the RB this evening. Lots of tears. You know what? Some people says that cats are superior to dogs. I don't agree. Dogs are fine animals, too, loving, caring individuals. They act in another way than cats, that's true, but are they less worth to people than cats, rabbits or horses? Absolutely not. The loss of a dog companion is hard to take, and I wish Tess all the best on her way to RB. I wish the best for you all, and so do my cats... Hans So sorry, Tweed. It's so hard to lose them. Sherry How sad, Tweed. Purrs and virtual hugs on the way for you and your neighbours. Sam > Tess was helped to the RB this evening.

From your description, it sounds like it was the right time. May Tess find a peaceful path to walk. Purrs for those left behind to mourn. Regards and Purrs, O J > Tweed wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Regards and Purrs, > O J It was probably the right time, she only went about 500 yards into her walk in the fields which she always enjoyed before she wanted to turn back, and that what made them decide to consult TED again. I suspect they knew what would happen when they did. The vets here are extremely sensitive. If you take your animal with something like a cough - like they did - and get a terminal diagnosis - they understand how shocking it is, and that it's not possible to make your mind up right then with no mental preparation. You are sent away with about a week's worth of strong painkillers. It gives you time to come to terms and decide in your own time. I was very fond of Tess myself. My late mother and I sometimes took her for a lovely walk amongst fields and gravel pits where we could get our binoculars out and birdwatch in the hides there. Tess was as quiet as a mouse when we had our bins up to our eyes. Never moved a muscle. Bless her little cotton socks. She will be sadly missed. I'll pass all the purrs, prayers and thoughts on to her devastated mom & dad in a week or so, when they've got over it slightly.

I think she might. :o) My Nikki wouldn't dream of coming near when Frank is in my lap. She adores and respects him too much to try and oust him. She never gets in my lap anyway. If I lift her up, she sometimes stays and even falls asleep, but she never comes volontarily.
