The look on the cat's face is like "Fuck my life. I can't believe I have to go through this shit again. I'm going to kill her in her sleep."


Heh, you're right. And she seems to think that his purr means he's happy... but purring can also be self-soothing, when a cat is UNhappy. However he does seem very docile, so who knows. My cat wouldn't put up with that for 5 seconds. :D

We did our stockings tonight, because our (29 yr old) son was impatient. :facepalm: So the cat also got her stocking stuffers, some little mousies stuffed with 'nip that have netting around the outside, to serve as kitty dental floss. She seemed to like them a lot, but now is quite stoned. :giggle:

I think I still love my cat, but he went all-out "latch to kill" on my daughter and then me the other day. He has been renamed Lucifer, and I love him but I don't have to like him

Needs more interactive pray toys/play time. At least that's been my experience, our cat started doing this after she had her first littler of kittens and they all left.
Threw some mousy toys on strings and ahe doesn't do it anymore. Well unless everyone neglects to play with them with her, then she may relapse a little
Not trying to act like I know cats because I really don't. Just sharing what worked for us.

HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL:

1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

5) Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

6) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap.
Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of steak filet. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and remove pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

15) Arrange for RSPCA to collect "mutant cat from hell" and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

It's been proposed that we get a new kitten, a cat we can train to be a "lap kitty" since our present cat is definitely NOT a lap kitty and never will be. But I'm concerned about feline angst and fighting; our cat is nearly 7 yrs old, and though she's a total fraidy cat with people, she's fierce to other cats. We do have some pheromone spray that calms her down quite a bit, it's the only way we could get her to chill out and accept our son when he came back home to live last summer. But is there anything else I should be aware of? Someone, I think here, mentioned that 2 female cats will fight, but our girl hisses and yowls at any male cat who comes around, so it seems to me that a female might be better.

Any input?
