I just frightened poor Boyfie

I've just been down the garden to shut up Francis Drake in his hut to
keep him safe from foxes overnight. Boyfriend, as always, accompanied
me as he thinks it's far too dangerous for me to go down at dusk without
him.

All done and was helped by his presence to get back to the house ;-)
However I missed the hook that I put my bucket back on just outside the
back door and it fell on him while he was waiting to come back inside.

He shot away back down the garden like I meant it to hurt him. I rushed
after him saying "it was an accident, it was an accident, please come
back"
I know he does not understand my words but I felt so awful that I wanted
to explain.
It's been a long and hard road to gain Boyfriend's trust. I hope he will
forgive me soon. He has not come back yet.

Tweed

Purrs for Boyfie and for you! May he soon remember that he can trust you
and that you love him.


He does know both those things but sometimes he forgets.

Oh No!!! Mimi is purring for Her Sweet Boyfie to come home!!! She
misses him already!!!

He is now home. It was a little too nippy here, temperature-wise for him
to be in a huff outside for long.
He is asleep on his bed.


Glad you are back, sweetie-boy (skitch skritch)

Obviously it didn't take him long to remember.

Mimi just heaved (purred?) a huge sigh of relief!!!

I know how you feel. I gave Miranda her first dose of medicine last
night. I crushed the pill and mixed it into water, and used a syringe to
squirt it into her mouth (or tried to - most of it ended up in her fur).
After that, she wouldn't let me come near her. She slunk around the
flat, stopping every now and then to look fearfully at me. She kept this
up for hours. She is really laying a guilt trip on me, but I'm
determined to get the antibiotics into her. I'll just have to try and
regain her trust after the course of ABs is over. (She did come into bed
at night, when I was safely under the covers, and walked all over me as
usual. I guess she re-established her dominance over me. )

I am sure he will, he is just spooked, and don't be so sure he doesn't
understand, Lee

Don't worry Tweed, he was just startled - he'll remember the years of loving
care you've given him and forget in a moment a small accident!

Hugs,

Nervous cats really can guilt-trip you, can't they? I suspect I would have
the same problem if I had to medicate Boyfie as you are having with Miranda.
I hope she soon gets used to it for both your sakes. It's the fearful look
that I can't stand.
This never happens with KFC. She has huge self esteem and is frightened of
nothing. If I have to medicate her, she just fights me, tooth and claw and
doesn't feel guilty about it either ;-)
Even the vet techs are wary of her.
Whereas Boyfie, charming chap that he is, would not even dream of biting or
scratching me whatever I needed to do to him. He would just go floppy and
say "oh, no, oh no, what are you doing? you are frightening me."
Then I would feel guilty.
I never knew that cats could have such a lovely temperament. I had one as a
child, an entire Tom who was too old to be neutered when we found him. I
could only pet the top of his head otherwise I would get firmly slashed. He
really stunk, was not housetrained at all even for poo (he did one inside my
shoes) and sprayed everywhere. I think my mother only agreed to have him
because I wept about not keeping him when we found him starving under our
hedge.
Then years later, KFC arrived. She was and is a real grump unless it suits
her otherwise. I thought nothing of it, I thought that's what cats were
like, you got scratched and bitten by them.
Imagine my surprise when Boyfriend came. Even though he was entire for quite
a while at first, he never showed any aggression whatsoever and he never
sprayed in the house, or had any smell to him.
When I was finally able to pick him up and take him for the snip I asked TED
afterwards how he had been, bearing in mind he would have been terrified by
being so shy. He said "he was a perfect gentleman."
That's what he is.

I don't think he speaks English, Lee.

Well, neither does Smudge, but if she gets spooked, I'll say "It's OK,
Smudge", and visibly relaxes. Cats might not speak human language, but it
does seem like they understand at least a bit of our vocabulary.
