Bathroom cat on the porch
The bathroom cat is on the porch in the pet porter, which is the
large-dog size and should be reasonably comfortable. I investigated weekend vet options in the area and none were acceptable, so the cat is parked there until tomorrow a.m. I didn't want to risk opening the door to put a litter box in the porter, so I tipped it up and poured litter in through the gate. When I set it back down, the litter was reasonably collected in the rear of the porter, allowing a clean area in front. This cat is fastidious and retained its bowels until the litter was available, even though it ate a big meal immediately before being shut up in the porter. It has been growling at me and giving me a look of raw hatred every time I approach the porter, so naturally I have been keeping Holly away -- she is a big dog of the kind that normally alarms cats. But I let Holly out a little while ago and did not bother to stop her when she sniffed at the gate. I noticed the bathroom cat didn't react much. Holly likes to lounge on the porch. I just stepped out and she was peacefully reclined in her usual spot, about four feet in front of the gate to the pet porter. I peered at the bathroom cat through a slot on the side of the pet porter. Its eyes were closed, and for the first time ever, I heard it purring. Charlie |

Holly sounds like a sweetie, and BC sounds like she/he may be reformable. Good luck at the vet today. |

Tweaker practically worships her. I used to have a pet rooster who really liked her too. I think the bathroom cat feels safe inside the pet porter and was enjoying Holly's company and the mild spring air last night. That cat hates my guts though, no doubt about it. Charlie |

Charlie Charlie: First, trim the talons off the cat's claws. The trick in washing a recalcitrant pussy is to hold it up by the nape between the shoulder blades (NOT the nape of the neck because this will choke an adult cat) so the cat cannot get traction and cannot bite you. With the other hand you hose your pussy with barely warm water. Once soaked, pussies usually resign themselves but remember ... don't let your guard down. |

Sounds like you're qualified to write a field guide to wet pussies. Charlie |

Can't you bring the cat in now and board her for a day at the vet? She
shouldn't have to be stuck in a carrier with urine, feces and no food or water!! Especially for anotherday! That's unfair to her and I don't see why the vet can't take her today and spay her tomorrow. Please be kind and at least get her to the clinic today.

Murray I have to say this: This is what is called nagging. Give the dude some credit -- dang! Tell ya what...send Charlie the money for the vet then you have a right to call some shots. Charlie might decide he needs groceries and turn the cat loose instead of pay the vet. Being right about something does not give you the right to nag. bsppptttpttptptptpt! You ain't trying to help, all you read was a cat in a cage. |
