Begging for a shot?
I am convinced that Otis begs for his insulin shot in the evening. DH
gave him some food, and he didn't eat it, he carried on begging - and I was getting a bit miffed with him. Then I realised he kept looking behind as he does when he knows I'm getting the shot ready. So it looks as though he associates the evening meal with the shot, and doesn't want one without the other! Bless... |

The vet said when he was very young that I should never let him go near the road (for obvious reasons) but also because he's "an eternal teenager" and one sandwich short of a picnic! He has his bright moments, i.e. only attacking the sofa when I'm not in the room, but he's not the brightest cat and I think that's why he's so easy to medicate, he just doesn't fuss about things like that, and is pretty much scared of his own shadow, I think if he saw a rat or mouse he'd run a mile. |

A friend who used to cat-sit Rusty told me several times that she tought Rusty was dumb. But Rusty fought when I pilled him. He went into hiding when its pill time. I had to chase him all over the place before I could catch him for pilling He is easily scared too. One time a friend took her cat over to play with Rusty. Even though Rusty is bigger than the other cat, he went to hide. To be fair, the other cat growled so loud that even her slave was kind of afraid. We threw a towel over her cat to get her back into the carrier. Winnie |

We used to kid about Smokey being mentally challenged, until we got Cleo. We still don't think Cleo knows her name or any other words after six months. But oddly enough Cleo is much better with physical directions than Smokey. If you give Cleo hand signals she will react right away, whereas Smokey will sit here and look at you for 10 minutes before she reacts. We used to joke that Smokey was part Dinosaur, as it took so long for the message to travel from her brain to the extremeties. This puts Smokey at a real disadvantage in a tussle with Cleo. Cleo is like greased lightning, by the time Smokey has raised a paw, Cleo has already smacked her several times. It was similar when Cali and Smokey used to play, Smokey would raise a paw and Cali would just reach out and step on her head while Smokey was thinking about her next move. I saw Cleo use a similar tactic on Smokey the other day, Smokey was trying to stare down Cleo, when Cleo charged her and put both paws around Smokey's neck driving her head into the carpet. But Smokey has learned several words now, so they all have their talents. Although Cali is still our resident genius. |
