Buffy and the Television by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy has *never* paid any attention to television. But the other day I
was flipping through channels and ran into a program with a bunch of
really cute cats. Buffy was next to me on the couch. She suddenly sat
up and stared at the screen. Her tail puffed up about three times
normal size...

Buffy and the Whiffle Ball by
jmcquown[_2_]
I've mentioned Buffy loves golf balls. She bats them all over the
living room. They've got some heft to them. Every once in a while I
give her a bright orange, same sized whiffle ball. When she bats at it
it goes very fast, sometimes flying! Gives her a nice workout chasing
it around the...

Study confirms the role of slow half blink in cats in communication by
Tigger[_2_]
This has been anecdotaly know for some time (I even read somehting about
zoo workers
doing this to make big cats feel more at ease). But now there's a study!

The Earth Keeps Turning by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy, presumeably like most cats, gravitates towards puddles of
sunshine. This time of year, she's not a happy camper. The earth keeps
turning. Early in the morning and for quite a few hours after the
living room has plenty of nice sunny spots for Buffy. That changes very
quicky. She gets...

Buffy is a Lap Cat (link to pic) by
jmcquown[_2_]
I've been at the computer a lot the last day or so and Buffy gets on my
lap while I'm typing. Demanding attention. Which she gets.
I got a pic of her and those beautiful eyes:

Earlier in the morning she was on my lap while I was typing and fell...

Well it's not been quite the same this year as usual but the cats started the day with Sheba and had sardines for lunch
Then whilst half the World were stuffing turkeys I was stuffing mousies with DaNip-they both loved their new mousies and has a great time with them then they got more Sheba and...

Comfy Buffy (pic) by
jmcquown[_2_]
When she's not in my lap pestering me while I'm typing, Buffy often gets
comfortable on a decorative pillow on the sofa:

Is your cat cheating on you? ;) by
Tigger[_2_]
https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-54710400
There's a well-known saying that goes, "You don't choose a cat, a cat
chooses you." So what should you do, asks Anisa Subedar, when a persistent
pussycat in the neighbourhood decides to adopt you?
For me, it began about 18 months ago, one long, hot...

Buffy has a Bladder Stone by
jmcquown[_2_]
She started acting a little "off" on Saturday. She didn't eat much. I
later noticed litter box problems, which is a new thing for as long as
I've had her. I thought she might be constipated as she appeared to be
straining and what little poop output there was was sometimes outside
the litter...

Needy only-Buster by
Takayuki
Buster's become a pretty clingy cat in the past year. Maybe it's because
he's been an only cat since Dot died over a year ago. Or maybe it's because
I've been working from home for the past year.
But in either case, he's developed a needier, more demanding purrsonality
the past few months. He's...

Marmelade, 2016?-2021 by
Rollory
Marmelade, the best, smartest, friendliest cat I've ever known died
today, hit by a car.
He was a feral we'd coaxed into spending more time with us to have a
professional mouser around. For at least three years he lived in the
general vicinity - from the first year, watching us occasionally...

OT: Just an Update by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy is doing fine and seems to be adapting to my going to work. I'm
adapting to it, too. :) My boss is a very nice guy. His wife pops into
the office from time to time. She also works, not for the same company,
but she has a spot in the office where she can plug in her laptop and
get on a...

Buffy Hates Computers by
jmcquown[_2_]
I will never be able to work from home because Buffy cannot stand it
when I'm in front of the computer. She has to get in my lap and try to
push my hands away from the keyboard by giving me little kisses (a sweet
distraction) and purring or nudging my hands away from the keyboard with
her...

Buffy Update 4/16/21 by
jmcquown[_2_]
I dropped Buffy off at 7:45 this morning and picked her up at 3PM.
She's sitting in my lap right now. :)
The abscessed tooth was really bad but they also took out four more, two
that were loose and the other two in pretty bad shape.
The trick now will be to get her to eat some gooshy food (no...

Another Veterinary Appointment for Buffy by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy's left eye has been teary over the four days or so. I noticed she
stopped eating her dry kibble, which she absolutely loves. She will
only eat the gooshy food but even then not enthusiastically. Then I
noticed her cheek under her left eye appears to be swollen. I think the
poor girl...

Buffy Update 4/17/21 by
jmcquown[_2_]
After the teeth extractions yesterday I was able to squirt the liquid
pain medication into her mouth last evening. I had some trepidations
about hurting her holding her jaw but it worked out fine. She felt much
better about 10 minutes later!
She still hadn't eaten anything. Fortunately, the...
