Poor pup.

Hooray for Andy cat recovery!

Oh, Barb...you did everything you could for Mooshu and he's being taken care of today. Don't beat yourself up. ~ma to Mooshu.

Yay, for Andy cat!

My cat is a bit...not mad...wary of me today. I had the nerve to trim the claws on one paw. He knows another paw needs to be done and is a bit jumpy waiting for it to happen.

Yay for Andy, pray for Mooosh.

So glad Andy Cat is doing better!

Best luck for Mooshu.

I am now officially becatted. Or at least I think so - she disappeared straight into the back closet on arrival and hasn't budged in the five or six hours since. Poor traumatized kitty cat.

I'm curious to see how Georgia responds to moving. We plan to use the margarine on the paws trick to see if it helps her find her way. I expect that the moment I let her out she will leave for several days. During which time I will be totally freaked. Of course, I will attempt to keep her home, but that is likely to fail.

Brandy will handle the transition with ease since she won't leave my side anyway. As long as mom is near it is all good.

So who wants to come help me purge and deal with 25 years of accumulated stuff? So far I have given it a great deal of thought, but not so much with the action.

Keep her inside for at least a week. There is a theory that at least part of feline navigation is sensing electromagnetic fields of the earth, and it takes a while for the cat to get tuned in to the new location. I'm not sure if I am explaining this correctly but ats who wander away from new homes and end up at their old ones often do that because they get disoriented, and their homing instincts lead them the electromagnetic fields they know best.

Huh, interesting. Gracie will be entirely indoors around here. She's been mostly indoors anyway recently, since she's gotten pretty old. But she used to be almost exclusively outdoors, or like 70/30 anyway, and was godawful the last time she moved since at that time keeping her inside was clearly interpreted as crimes against catmanity.

I'm going to make every effort to keep her in, but she'll be hating me. She only uses a litter box as a last resort. I'll have to research what kind of litter cats that prefer outside might be ok with. Either that or I'll put her on a leash and see if she will accept that. She likes to cat around. She's a snuggle kitty when I am home, but at night she likes to go out and she goes out when I leave for work unless it is really cold.

Glad Andy cat is eating on his own!

This low-grade nausea from med withdrawal can go away any time, really.
