Ragamuffins are adorable cats. Communicate great with humans.
I have a similar problem with front lining our Bob. He’s pretty wild to begin with but there were two times/places where he was affectionate and trusted me. I’ve used both of those times/places and it takes him a week to forget it. My DIL can do it with no problem... same with clipping claws, brushing teeth. I just don’t have the personality.
Abbysinians are a crazy breed. Among those that have lived in our extended family, their favorite habit is opening cupboard doors. If you have an Abby, you’ll have to install child-safe catches on all your cupboards.
We have a white cat named, “Doom.”
His cat tree is next to a window.
One time, Doom was sleeping in his tree and I went to the window to look outside.
I accidentally bumped my right arm into Doom very lightly.
It surprised him awake.
I ended up with four giant claw marks down my right arm. One was almost a foot long.
I shoulda named that cat, “Freddy.”
They are very much all unique individuals, just like humans.
One of my cats is like that. If you’re reading this Rush, it’s not your fault. I can’t even hide the flea drops to sneak and put on her neck, she knows something is up and won’t sit with me. I had to get her some meds one time and it was impossible. Thankfully she got well anyway.
If you read the transcript than you must have missed that he had a cat before (Punkin) which passed away several years ago. He had a transcript of it when he talked about it on his show.
Sounds like she is a liberty loving independent republican to me.
How friendly is this car?
Wasn’t it part of Obama’s “Cash for Clunkers” program?
Keep it up, she’ll respond.
Most of our cats have come from the shelter.
Went thru the same ordeal a few months ago. Fortunately the scars on my hands, arms, chest and nose have healed..............LOL!
“L tryptophan pills....”
“How to give your cat a pill”
Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as though holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat’s mouth, and gently apply pressure to his cheeks. When cat opens up, pop pill into mouth. Cat will then close mouth and swallow.
Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Repeat the process.
Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.
Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, immobilizing front and rear paws. Ask assistant to hold cat’s head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into cat’s throat. Flick pill down ruler with forefinger, and rub cat’s throat vigorously.
Retrieve cat from living-room curtain valance.
Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth, and set aside for later gluing. Remove next pill from foil wrap.
Wrap cat in beach towel, and ask assistant to lie prone on cat with cat’s head visible under assistant’s armpit. Put pill in end of paper tube you’ve made for this purpose. Then, force cat’s mouth open with pencil, and blow.
Check label to make sure pill is not lethal to humans. Sip water to take taste away. Apply bandage to assistant’s forearm, and remove blood from carpet with soap and cold water.
Call 911, ask fire department to retrieve cat from eucalyptus tree. Remove remaining pill from foil wrap. Tie cat’s front paws to rear paws with garden twine, and securely tie to leg of dining table. Put on heavy-duty pruning gloves. Force cat’s mouth open with tire iron. Drop pill, previously hidden in one ounce of raw hamburger, into cat’s mouth. Hold head vertically with nose pointed to ceiling, and pour one-half pint of water down cat’s throat, and two jiggers of whiskey down your own.
Ask assistant to drive you to emergency room. Sit quietly while doctor administers anesthetic, stitches forearm and removes pill remnants from eye. Drop off cat, along with a generous donation, at animal shelter, and adopt a goldfish.
How do I do that? Whenever I try, she immediately bolts away?
So what makes you a legitimate judge of anyone?......Sheesh!
RDS doesn't fit well in this forum.......
Tranquillizers and welders gloves do the trick.
That advice would work better with a dog than a cat. A cat has to think it’s his idea. See my DEAR RUSH post earlier in thread.
“Cats. Cant live with em, cant live without em.”
Can’t live with ‘em get a dog.
