But seriously, don't waste money on a 'pet psychologist'. I rank that up there with palm readings and biblical prophecy in the 'kook' department. We know a family who spent a ton of dough for a dog psychologist, creature still craps and pees all over the house. I could have told them, for free, what the problem was. The dog is a Sheltie, a herding species, and doesn't get out of the house enough. In fact, it once bolted out the front door in desperation and got hit by a car. Still alive, though, but huge expensive operations were required. Vigourous walks and play would have gone way furthur than a bloody pet shrink...sorry, don't know much about cats. Good luck...
Once upon a time we had made the pilgramage to the in-laws to show of the toddeler (a long time a go in a galaxy far away). I'ts about a six-hour drive, so we didn't do it too often, and we'd go for at least three days. Fill the cat dish to the top and leave the cats behind.
So we get home, tired and cranky. The kid is zonked, so I just sort of put him in his crib and forget about it.
Half hour later the kid is crying. I go up and... yeah, the kid is smeared with used cat food.
Cats misbehave when they are not happy... So the only solution is for you to be with the cat 24/7...
LOL! 24/7! Better he moves to the park across the road - I will feed him there!
Cav - no offence taken - I would prefer not to sleep with myself on turd nights!
Cav, why do you think she is so concerned? Mood killer, indeed!
Definately an unhappy cat. This is deliberate action, of course. Some cats carry a grudge for ages, but three years is a stretch, even for a cat. It may be a case of feline depression. You know what to do Deb. This cat needs confusing.
PeeMail
When we walk out dog Sam on the beach, he loves checking out all the messages that have come in while he was gone. There is even an old log that was washed up on the beach, where he logs in. I think he enjoys his mail as much as I do mine!
It is almost possible to hear him as he finds a familiar scent or a brand new one. "That's the big boxer with the big lady," "oooh, there's the cute little mixed breed who always gives me the eye and...hey! Who's that? A poodle, for Pete's sake???" He doesn't pay much attention to the very small breeds. We are pretty sure he considers them squeaky toys that nip.
So what's going on in your pet's neighborhood?
I dunno, I think Oscar thinks it is an especially comfy cat box. Hmm, maybe you need whatchallits. You know, when there is this extravant arrangement of posts and drapes around the bed (drapes, oooh, nice plastic ones) as in fine decorator magazines.
Our little dog has nothing but love to give, and has no fear. He doesn't nip at all, nor does he harbour ill will towards any living creature, including kitty cats. But it is truly funny to see dogs a billion times his size recoil at his attempts to lick their faces. I don't know what Mrs. cav did, but this is not normal doggie behaviour...there are certain dogs we keep him away from, as we know their temperment towards other dogs is not so friendly, and their owners are morons who don't know how to train. Amazingly enough, he even started his own webpage. I swear I didn't have anything to do with this....

I've lived with a lot of cats, and I think that they are totally inscrutable. Likely he's got some whole superstition worked up for himself, where a particular ad comes on the downstairs neighbor's television that gives him the fear, after which he trots out to the balcony, rubs his neck on the rail, comes inside, jumps on and off the kitchen counter exactly for times, meowls at the front door, makes the sign off the cross and says 16 hail maries, and craps on your bed.
If you can figure it out it will be a miracle.
Or maybe you need to wash your sheets more often.
It would appear that you cat thinks you are the **** there dlowan!
Or maybe lil Oscar is trying to tell you he gives a ****..
Come on now. He's a bloody cat! It's not like anyone REALLY understands those critters. I suggest you fight fire with fire. Go poop in his food bowl.
Just for grins I'd shave him first though.
I quite agree. SHAVE THE CAT!!!
(this post is in lieu of the obvious lewd lu-lu of a joke i would have put in its place.)
do i get points for my interspersed ululating?
no. it has not been evaluated yet on a scale of 1-10 in human history. but do persist, one day it will earn you some credit!
I feel people are no longer taking this topic seriously.
I am hurt.
