Licky is too smart for me
Speaking of flea treatments (see Mark's thread), I noticed that Smudge
was scratching a lot this morning, so she got some Advantage. I also anaged to get Roxy, but so far, Licky has managed to evade me. He definitely *knows* something's up. For all I know, he knows *exactly* what is up! Every time he sees me, he runs under the bed, even though I haven't tried to pick him up or go near him, and I've put away the Advantage for now. I want to catch him unawares, but so far, he's been nothing *but* aware. How does that little bugger know?? -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

And I've put it on my skin and it doesn't burn. But once I treat one victim, I can't catch the other two for days. Jo |

I finally got close enough to grab him last night, and quickly put the stuff on him - it was all ready to go for when I caught him. I swear it all took about 15 seconds, but as of this afternoon, he still clearly has not forgiven me. He will not let me get near him and he looks at me as though I'm about to do something terrible to him. Poor scaredy Licky! He'll get over it eventually, but in the meantime, I feel bad for him. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

I hope you didn't get scratched. Licky will forgive you, eventually. Cats are known to carrry grudges...LOL. Try giving him a treat...that 'might' work.

Actually, although Licky is afraid of people, and is often scared enough even of me to dive under my bed if I look at him wrong, he is a *perfect gentleman*, and never lashes out in fear. He's really a very sweet cat. (Now, if you *play* with him, that's another matter. Watch out for those claws! He takes predation very seriously.) Licky will forgive you, eventually. He has! Last night I had a snuggly, purry Licky-boy curled up with me while I was at the computer. All is well. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
