Huey got me back

Nope, he looked more limp than that. I'd forgotten about that picture of Huey. That's how he often sleeps. Back when my Aunt Mary and Uncle Howard kept pigs, my aunt saw a baby pig (they always could find even the smallest hole in the fence) stretched out on the driveway. She found it completely limp. Thinking someone had run over the pig with a car, she picked up the little corpse to dispose of it. The pig woke up with a squeal and scampered away. It had just been taking a nap in the sun. |

Huey got me back
Rusty gave me a similar scare when I first adopted him. One day I found
him laying in his carrier not moving him. I thought he was dead and panicked. Turned out he was just napping and for some reasons I couldn't see any breathing. But then he is the first cat I keep on my own. Winnie Tanada wrote: Mandy gave Huey a flea and tick bath yesterday that ended in an upset cat and Mandy at the ER getting a cat bite taken care of. No stitches or shots to her relief, but antibiotics and thick bandages on her left thumb for a while. I knew that Huey was going to get Mandy back, and was waiting to see what he was going to do to her. Instead the two of them forgave each other right away. I was perplexed and pleased at the same time. At ten pm I was climbing into bed and needed to move Huey, who was sleeping draped on my side of the bed and with his head on my favorite gooshy pillow that I usually go to sleep hugging. Ok, we've done this before, I gently move Huey, he gives me that "you're so lucky I'm such a nice cat" look and settles down where I place him. Not this time. I pick him up and he is totally limp. No eye movement, no leg, tail, or paw movement. His chest doesn't move. MY GOD, HUEY'S NOT BREATHING!!! I hell for Rob and start chest compressions. Rob dashes into the room and laughs I'm so busy giving Huey's chest massages that I don't see that his tail is moving in time to the compressions. I stop, lay the little guy down on the gooshy pillow and he slowly opens his eyes and then winks at me. It was Huey's first b*st*rd cat trick and it was a doozy. Pam S. still a little shook up |

Pam S. still a little shook up It sounds more like he's a very gentle and trusting kitty, unless you try to give him a bath. I wonder if when he was playing dead, he looked anything like this: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tanada...5b.jpg&.src=ph Oh, that's so cute. Here's my favorite tummy pic of Cherokee. He laid under the ceiling fan like this all the time. I used to drag him by his back legs out of the way and he never woke up. He was my first tuxedo cat. http://members.aol.com/cherokee1.jpg Friday evening, I snapped a picture with my cell-phone camera of a little boy asleep with his legs in the air. I haven't posted it anywhere since I didn't get his parents' permission to photograph him. I ate supper Friday in a Chinese restaurant near my house. A little Asian boy, about three years old, was asleep on two chairs next to an electric fan. He was asleep on his belly, with both legs balanced in a straight-up-from-the-knee position, and his thumb in his mouth. I presume that he was the son of one of the restaurant workers. It sounds cute :-) it always makes me smile when I see toddlers asleep in public, often in the most odd positions. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

I'm glad that Huey hasn't gone there yet. I'd disturb him to the point where he would hork a hairball on my head while I was asleep. Pam S. Cherokee is the one I talk about who loved to be vaccuumed. I could take the hand attachment and run it over that big fuzzy belly and he'd just stretch, then roll over so I could vacuum his back. I miss that cat. He went RB in 2000. Sherry |

Pam, tell Mandy, purrs for her "paw" to heal quickly.
