Abelard went outside today by Pat
I put a small harness on him and took him out this evening, for the first time since we moved off the farm. He was really scared at first but after ten minutes or so he relaxed, ate some grass, and laid down in the clover. We walked all over the yard. When I brought him back inside, all the...

Abelard went up a tree today by Pat[_2_]
He climbed about 10' then came down backwards. First time he's done any climbing since the big sickness. (He still falls over in my lap now and then.) I didn't interfere with him going up the tree. It went well!

Abelard's Abnormal Appetite by Pat
My goofy red Abyssinian seems to enjoy vegetables more than any other food (with the possible exception of live insects). Last week he was really into boiled asparagus spears and corn on the cob. This week, it's potatoes and Chinese greens. He goes nuts if I'm eating vegetables unless I give him...

Abelard's anguish is mine too by Pat
He wants something and has been trying to tell me about it for days. I don't know what to do for him. He walks up to me and looks at me and cries insistently. I know it's something "big" because he's using his voice instead of breathing silent miaows. Do we by any chance have a resident rpcs cat...

Abelard's Best Friend by Pat
He's so in love with Beatrice that watching them play together brings tears to my eyes. With her, he's a young kitten again. They race madly around the house chasing one another, playing hide-and-seek, wrestling, using the tiny tents creatively and just generally making mayhem. Today they're at it...

Abelard's Crazy Dance by Pat
Oh, if ONLY I could have caught this on video, I just know I missed the $100k Funniest Home Video prize again! Abelard got on top of a large cardboard box and started, literally, crazy-dancing!! I don't think I can even begin to described it in writing but here's a shot... Starting position:...

Abelard's first (that I know of) hairball by Pat
Saw him hork up a tiny hairball today. That's a first for Abelard, to my knowledge. Come to think of it, I've never seen one from any of the other kitties except Baby Eyes (who has them often because she washes everyone else).

Abelard's getting more "creative" by Pat
Abelard generally goes outside to pee if he can but sometimes I have him locked inside, in which case he looks for the ideal spot to go, and that's almost never in a litterbox. He seems to prefer peeing on plastic. I can expect to find a yellow puddle on any plastic bag left on the floor so have...

Abelard's getting stronger by Jo Firey
"Pat" wrote in message ... After a week of faithful administration of the noxious cephalexin suspension, Abelard is looking and feeling much better. The inflammation in his upper right gums is way less, and he's walking...

Abelard's huge appetite by Pat[_3_]
For the last month or so he wants to be fed four times a day, with snacks between meals! I thought he was getting plenty when he got two whole cans of catfood per day. For a snack, he'll take anything at all - today it was home-grown turnip greens (best I've ever had). I'm so glad he wants to eat,...

Abelard's in luv. by Pat
If Beatrice was an intact female I think Abelard would keep her happy without the consequence of bearing kittens. As it is, he is doing the best he can with a girlcat who seems to think he just wants to play. He grabs hold of her neck with his teeth and moves his hindquarters into exactly the...

Abelard's new bed by Pat
The other day after Abelard returned from his long absence I was so glad to see him that I got him a very soft, new, small bed. Of course he refused to sleep in it. Eli was the first to test it out, but he's so big that every time he stretched the bed would tip over and dump him out! But he...

Abelard's New Habits by Pat
For the first time since I adopted him as a tiny kitten, Abelard is using his voice on a regular basis. He has realized that if I am not looking at him when he wants my attention, he must make a sound with his vocal cords rather than doing a silent miaow. He barely squeaks, but at least I can hear...

Abelard's New Residence by Pat
I'm learning how to stop his barfing. The key seems to be to give him a bit less food than he wants. Take it away while he's still very interested in eating. This involves taking him into the bathroom, shutting out the other cats, and waiting while he eats, then taking the food away when he...

Abelard's sight by Pat
I think Abelard might be regaining sight in his right eye! How can I test it? On another note, I just learned there are a ton of youtube clips of lightning strikes. Way cool if you're into them, search youtube for lightning.

Abelard's Story by Pat
RPCA folks first met Abelard July 10, 2003 with my first post to the group. At that time he was already a year old and I've never posted about how he came to live with me in the first place. So here is that story. It started with a lawnmower. I needed one, but I hate the kind that make noise and...

Abelard's Strange Bed Choice by Pat[_2_]
I don't think he wants me to post this - the minute I started thinking about doing so, he woke from an apparent sound sleep and got up - but I'm going to do it anyway, because I've never seen a cat sleeping in a pressure-cooker before.

Abelard, back to using box by Pat[_2_]
He's voluntarily relieving himself in the right place most of the time now. Meowmie is very pleased.
