Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005A few purrs for Joel(DH)?
If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. Its been a crappy month, money has been a big issue and we ran out before we could get Joel all the medication he needs and we couldn't afford his to pay for his psychologist appointment so had to cancel, and as such, he's feeling pretty aweful. Cary has been a handful with teething and starting to crawl into places he shouldn't get into, and just to make Joel feel worse (he's the stay at home Dad) Cary fell the lounge and split his lip open this week. Cary was fine (bar the split lip) but there was lots of blood, and because of the lack of meds and therapy, it really got to Joel. He was hysterical when I got home from work that day. To top it off, IBKFergus seems to enjoy torturing Cary's feet and we don't know how we can keep them seperate. As soon as Cary's on the floor, IBKFergus is there biting away, and Cary isn't old enough to defend himself yet, so he screams and cries (IBKFergus is in dire danger of having to find another foreverhome if she doesn't learn *very* quickly that baby feet are not to be played with. I don't think kittens and young babies are a good mix, unfortuantley). Its making Joel *really* stressed out and depressed, and combine that with his lack of meds and therapy, and that he has to stay home all day looking after an unhappy Cary, and he's *really* not a happy camper, and there's nothing I can do because I've got to be here at work to earn the money. He'll kill me for doing this, but if you can spare some calming and soothing purrs for Joel and Cary, I'd really appreciate it. Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) Calming purrs on the way for you, Joel and Cary. Have you tried soft shoes on Cary to keep his toes away from IBKFergus? I'm not a mother but is sounds like it might work.

Hugs and purrs for your stressful situation. I hope things financially get better soon. I wonder if there is a friend who could take care of the baby and kitty and let you and Joel have some relief? Could Cary maybe wear shoes with the strings tucked under the socks, unless they still have the string holders they had 35 years ago. As for IBKFergus (what does IBK stand for, anyway?) maybe he could be put under an upsidedown laundry basket near Cary so they could play a little safer when Cary is on the floor. -- CATherine > (what does IBK stand for, anyway?)

Diane > If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. Purrs and purr-ayers are on the way, even as I type. Here's to seeing February be a VAST improvement over the previous month. Donna, Captain, and Stanley, rumbling away Sending some special purrs ASAP. Sounds like a playpen might be in order. For Cary or Fergus as the case may be. Poor Joel. Most every parent has had a baby fall off the bed or some such accident. Not that it makes anyone feel better, but they just learn to get around faster than we can keep up with what they can do. Jo > If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) Sounds like purrs are needed all around. Plenty here to share. Joel actually sounds like any stressed out parent I know. RE: IBKFergus and Cary's feet, what about a play pen of sorts for him? > If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) There shall be purrs and prayers for all -- always enough to go around.

Sending our best purrs to all three of you and to IBKFergus as well. > If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) After passing out purrs to others in need tonight, I find that there's still quite a sackful left. Please take whatever Joel needs, some for Cary, and keep a few for yourself. Sam > He'll kill me for doing this, but if you can spare some calming and soothing > purrs for Joel and Cary, I'd really appreciate it. > > Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) Purrs coming for the whole family. This is a rough patch, but you will get through it, I'm absolutely sure of that. Hugs coming as well. I don't know if this is doable, but is there anything you could smear on Cary's feet so Fergus won't bite them? Might not be so nice to smear something icky on your baby's feet, but it could be something like citrus-scented lotion? SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki Ugh - its not easy being home with a baby at the best of times. Purrs to Joel. Robeez slippers are great little things for babies. They simply cannot get them off and they are thin leather contraptions that come in great colours. Most baby stores around here carry them. Not great when you're short of cash but it might work for you next month as a more permanent solution with IBK. http://www.robeez.com/default.asp?refid=5000 Does Joel take the kind of meds that can be stopped like that? Some of them send you into massive withdrawl I know. I hope he's ok.

(snipped) We're sending out loads and loads of purrs, for Joel and for you and for Cary and for IBKFergus, and some for Shmogg and Fluffy as well.

Of course the entire family can have loads of calming, soothing thoughts and vibes going out across the cyber-aether.

Oh, yes, many purrs for *all* of you - including IBKF. Sure hope you don't have to part with her. More importantly, our very best thoughts for Joel to feel better and get the meds he needs to cope, as well as a solution to your financial and domestic problems. Hugs. Jeanne > He'll kill me for doing this, but if you can spare some calming and soothing > purrs for Joel and Cary, I'd really appreciate it. > > Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) purrs and headbutts along with calming thoughts and wishes for you all. Shoes on Cary might help with the cat. Joel is a wonderful papa, and is doing everything he can for Cary. Rob once fell asleep and let Mandy crawl off the bed. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt beyond a fat lip, but he felt bad for a long time. Stuff happens. I think I'd go with the suggestion of soft shoes that someone made and a squirt bottle of water for IBKFergus, to be used whenever he gets cheeky with Cary. Soon all Joel will have to do is pick up the squirt bottle and IBKFergus will leave Cary alone. Purrs and sympathy for you all. Tell Joel to hang in there, he's doing a great job. Pam, Rob, and the Fayetteville Five + Calvin, Sonya, and Speedy the d-thing BTW purrs and good thoughts for all those who want and/or need them. My hand hurts too much to reply to all the posts that I want to. Lots of claming purrs on the way to you and your family. Yowie, I have a suggestion for the feet thing I am not sure how old Cary is but I did this with my son when he was an Infant (he is 29 now) I rubbed bitter apple on his feet (not because of the cats but because he keep them in his mouth 24/7) it stopped him and I know my vet has told me before to use it to stop my cats from suckling each other. It maybe worth a try. >If there's a few spare purrs around, I think Joel, my DH, could use a few. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >Yowie (Who could do with some herself, but Joel has the bigger need) Purrs for EVERYONE there. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Purrs for your whole family, furred and non!

Don't feel guilty, both of you are doing your best. Just sounds like a normal family with a little baby and a little kitty-cat. Get Joel and Cary into a hot, soothing bath at night and hope they'll both sleep like babies. Hugs to you, both of you hang in there.

Believe me, I know about the running out of money and cancelling appointments and skipping meds stuff. Don't have a baby, but kittens can surely be a handful and stress things out.

Hope things improve really soon. Just a thought about IBKF biting Cary's feet: assuming it happens not too far away from Joel, could he be pre-armed with a glass of water ready to chuck it over the miscreant when he misbehaves? A soaking plus an acompanying loud HISS, understood universally as Cattish for "stop that immediately" would soon put a stop to IBKF's antics. I realise Cary might get wet too but it'd be nowhere near as traumatic for him as for any furperson. Hope that might help.
